U-Shaped Island

Hi. I've been stuck with the kitchen design. I have a few obstacles including sliders in the kitchen, support post, etc. Is this layout practical and appealing?

    There is nothing to see--repost the photo.

    I don't know what picture were going to post, but I suggest also posting a fully measured layout (if that wasn't what you were going to post, that is!) Like this:

    How Do I Ask For Layout Help & What Information Should I Include?

  • 7 years ago

    If you need help posting a pictures:

    Most people will see four options in the ribbon below the message text box:

    • Photo (with camera icon): For posting photos from your computer
    • Houzz Photo (with house icon): For posting pictures from a Houzz site
    • Video (with arrowhead icon): For posting a YouTube or Vimeo video
    • Link (with chain icon): For inserting a link with a label

    This post will discuss the first two items - "Photo" and "Houzz Photo".

    Option 1: Using a picture on your computer - "Photo"

    (1) Take a picture using a digital camera (or film camera, but get your pictures on a disk when they're developed & download them to your computer).

    (2) Upload the picture to your computer

    (3) Place your cursor in the message text box where you want the photo to appear in the message.

    (4) Select the "Photo" icon.

    (5) A "File Upload" window will appear.

    (6) Navigate to the folder/directory your picture is in on your computer.

    (7) Select the picture you wish to post in the message and select the "Open" button

    (8) The picture will appear when you are returned to the message text box.

    .

    Option 2: Using the "Houzz Photo" link/icon

    Follow the steps for using the Photo link/icon above, but select the "Houzz Photo" icon/link instead of "Photo".

    (1) When you select the "Houzz Photo" icon, the "Insert Photo" box will appear

    (2) Select the "Browse" button on the left

    (3) If uploading from a photo hosting site or URL from a picture from Houzz...In the "File name" box, paste the URL for the picture you are posting and select the "Open" button

    (4) If uploading from your computer...

    …..a. Navigate to the folder/directory your picture is in on your computer

    …..b. Select the picture to be posted and select the "Open" button -or- drag and drop the picture into the Insert Photo box

    (5) The picture will appear in the Insert Picture box on the right

    (6) If the picture is not correct, select the "X" in the upper right and specify another picture.

    (7) Select the "Insert" button to insert the picture or the "Cancel" button to cancel the process.

    Sorry this is the pic.

    Is this a kosher kitchen? Why are there two clean-up sinks with two dishwashers next to them? What are you trying to achieve with a u-shaped island? It looks awkward and not at all practical.

    yes Kosher Kitchen

    also this is on a slab. Prefer not to break the foundation to change sink location

    While I'm a fan of "U" shaped Kitchens when you have enough space (I have one and love it), I don't think you have the space to make it usable. Could you please draw up a 2D plan with measurements marked?

    I think an island would be best here, but without the actual measurements, I cannot be sure. (An "L" might also work, but again, without the actual measurements, I cannot tell.)

    I'm concerned about the location of the cooktop in your proposed layout -- inadequate safety margins/space on the left and the back.
