sizing kitchen cabinets around range

8 years ago

I'm trying to nail down the best over all look and function of this part of my kitchen. Which picture of spacing do you like the best? Thanks!

    I like the last picture, it's nicely balanced. Symmetrical.

    Make sure that all the cabinet tops are at the same height at the top. They're bouncing all over the place in your images.

    Sophie Wheeler Thank you. Only I already have a large 7' long walk in pantry and need more of a little office space to put my papers and cell phone and such. Thoughts? Also, I really like the glass. I feel it dresses it up a bit. What do you all think? I plan on putting office supplies in the drawer below...

    cookncarpenter yes number 3 provided the most space between the range the refrigerator. Thanks. Sophie Wheeler what do you think of #3? I'm going to go back through the pic and put the dimensions of the cabinets now that I have time.

    Thanks for taking a look and your time!

    I would aim for symmetry - so 4 if speaking about your choices. 2 equally wide cabinets on each side of the range. Now why did you put the fridge first and the glass cabinet after it?I do not know your logic, of course, but if you switch - you'll get more continuous counter top at the range and only one side of the fridge to cover (do not forget a filler on the right so your fridge will open fully)

    KB Design LLC Thank you! there is a pantry wall that extends 3.5 feet. I think this would limit my ability to open the fridge door. I don't know if their is a way around that?! I think opening the fridge left to right will function best in this kitchen? However maybe I could make the glass cabinet area a 24 instead or 30 or 36? Or even smaller then a 24? We are doing custom cabinets so measurements are flexible. Thoughts? Thanks!!

    Have you made a final decision on your cabinet hardware and finish? You might want to consider what pulls or knobs and sizes are available when making your decision regarding the cabinet spacing.

    Cali59 create a refrigerator cabinet insert at the end of wall so there will be a panel at both sides of the fridge carry on the cabinets from there

    Claire Larece this sounds great. I think I have a general idea that this will help me to put the fridge on the end however, Does this mean the fridge will be in like a bump out cabinet? I will look into this more, however any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks so much!

    In your model....once you move the fridge toe the end the panel that is between the wall and fridge will keep you from bumping on the wall plus the way I see it once the door is open it looks like the door will pass the corner wall.

    4 for me. But as Sophie said, I would make the right of the refrigerator a pantry cabinet. That small piece of counter won't get much use anyway.

    I like 4 the best of what you posted. If you can move a counter deep to the end of the run, I would center the range and hood on the wall.

    I'm really starting to see everyone's point of view as far as moving in the fridge down. Thank you! Once I feel comfortable that I'll be able to open the fridge door all the way as well as create another office space I really do see having more countertop by the stove as worth the cost of what I was trying to do before as well as in better overall look.

    As I said - do not forget your filler on the right - to allow for the door swing.

    So, yes - swap the locations of the fridge and the glass cabinets and reduce the class cabinet to allow 3" filler.

    I would argue for a real hood if real cooking is contemplated, but that would be OT. A desirable wider hood would mess up the layouts. Upper cabinet space could be reclaimed by deleting the window to the right of the corner.
