I've said this in other posts, I typically steer my clients away from corner stoves with the exception of long narrow kitchens. In this case I believe it is your best option. It allows you to have some counter space on either side of the stove and I think in general it is more aesthetically pleasing than either Option B or C

I really dislike my corner stove. It wastes so much space. Of course, I also have the sink in the other corner so that’s another wasted space. Can’t wait to redo it! I don’t know if you will have your oven there also but if you do anytime that is open it blocks, not only the space directly in front of it, but also the cabinets/counters on BOTH sides of it. Just my experience. You may find it not that bad.

Option C is the best, corner stove is the worst. Better would be fridge to right of sink.

Thanks for your comments all. We don’t have the 2D drawings yet, can share when we do.

Yes - we’re on the fence on the corner stove... for all the reasons a lot of you say. However, both our architect and KD have recommended this. They did also say they do not typically recommend a corner stove....only when there’s really no other option. Which makes me think it has something to do with our particular kitchen.

The other consideration is that maximizing window space (in front of sink) is big for us. Without going into too much detail, we have a split level house with a tricky backyard/side yard situation. So the expanded windows helps create the visual connection to the back yard from kitchen. Which then leads back to Opt A.

TERRIBLE idea. You should be working with a real Kitchen Designer, not a mere cabinet seller. Architects typically design rubbish kitchens.

So this is new construction, based on the different placement of the windows, correct? I would either do (C), but switch the sink (and windows) with the stove, or put the fridge to the right of the sink and then put the stove on the short wall.

We built our house in the early 90's and had too many angles in the kitchen that took up a boatload of space. We took out all the angles and the kitchen seems twice as big. A corner stove would be a big no from me. I think that C would be the best out of these choices, as it gives you a nice amount of prep and landing space between all the main elements. In our previous kitchen our refrigerator was on the end of the run to the right of our sink. I did not like that it ate up a lot of space next to the sink. We now have our refrigerator tucked into our back wall so countertop is open next to sink coming from the breakfast table which makes it so easy to clear the table and load the DW. Just make sure that you do not place the DW between the sink and range.

Here is a visual which switches the sink and range. Even though this makes sense with workflow, as items that need to be prepped go from the refrigerator to the sink and then the stove, I am not sure that I like the idea of having to walk by someone at the stove to get to the sink when clearing the table.

I am now on my second kitchen with a corner cooktop. Yes, it does take up extra space, however, if you have the space as I did, then it doesn't have to be a deal-breaker. Personally, I hate corners, so this setup has worked well for me. The only complaint I have in my current kitchen from my previous kitchen is having 12-18" less space between the cooktop and the sink. As a result, I find I use my island as a secondary prep space quite often, which is fine.

Oh, and I worked with a real KD.

My previous kitchen:

I have a 30" range in a corner in our vacation house. I don't mind it. For that kitchen, it works well. In my kitchen at home I would never put in a corner range. Two entirely different rooms. So I guess my thought is, it depends on the shape, size, and window, door and utilities placement.

I have a corner stove and I love it. My small island is directly parallel also on an angle. It works well and I’m very happy with it in my small kitchen.
