Design Dilemma: kitchen sink / wall layout

7 years ago

I have honed in on a design for the wall side of my kitchen and it needs the refrigerator, sink, dishwasher, and trash/recycle pullout at a minimum, with the rest storage. The frig placement and upper cabinets have been decided: frig is on the left and the uppers are a simple 30" upper cab for whatever, a 33" with glass doors (for dishes / wine glasses, etc), then another 30" forming a symmetrical look. The intent was to put the sink in the middle keeping the symmetry and the rest around it - even using another users idea of an offset drain sink such that I can get the trash/recycling under the sink (18" under a 33" sink in a 36" sink cabinet). When we get down to it however, keeping symmetry is creating a problem due to the requirement of 24" for the dishwasher - I want to keep symmetry on the top but I don't necessarily need symmetry on the bottom, but I'm looking for ideas such that it doesn't look terrible. Currently the designer has the dishwasher all the way on the right and a 45" cabinet for the 33" sink creating about 9" too much of a sink cabinet that will irk me (and I don't need a big sink - I could even go with a smaller than 33" sink).




Any ideas to use the 69" left (93" to match the top minus 24" for the dishwasher) with the requirement that I need a sink, an 18" trash/recycle pullout, and drawer storage placed in that 69" with the look/function fitting with the nice symmetrical upper cabinets I have laid out here? The sink can shrink/move, the dishwasher can move - the drawers need to be on the left (need them near the frig).


Thanks!
