Current proposed opening is 48"-52". Anything wider would just be open space that could otherwise be used ?

Current proposed pantry (Qty 2) width is 36" - not too big? Shifting the fridge down is a possibility but would the work triangle (cooktop/fridge/sink) become less efficient ?

Attaching an additional rendering (the rendering doesn't capture the additional windows in place of the wall picture)

My suggestion is do one of 2 things.

1. get rid of the turn and have the counter and cabinets end at the wall. I would also be getting under upper lighting to keep the corners from looking too dark.

2. My preference would be to move your wall ovens beside the fridge and put the pantry's on the right. I would also move the pantry's, wall oven and fridge all the way to the right so that you have a longer run of counter to the left of the stove and the corner where you likely would not use the counter anyways becomes pantry.

Side note: I caution against using 36" pantry's. I would take it down to 30" The custom cabinet company I work for will not do 36" pantry's because roll outs/ shelves often won't have the strength to support your heavy pantry materials and start to sag with time. Unless they are putting extra supports under your shelves (which most companies don't) I'd reduce the pantry sizes, maybe add an extra one if you feel you need the extra space.

I don't think the opening has to be centered. Where does the opening land on the dining room side? Would it give you move wall space in there if you just ended the pantry wall and moved the opening over? Then you could possibly put an extra cabinet on the other wall as that would be longer.

Either way, I'd run the pantry to the end. It looks awkward with that little bit of counter tucked behind it.

Yes to under-cabinet lighting !

Yep my preference is to off-center the opening and not turn. The dining room is yet to be furnished and could use the wall extra space and I could use the extra counter on the longer wall closer to the sink. I like the idea of shifting the pantry all the way to the right - i will work on a new layout today.

Didn't realize there would be an issue with 36" pantry roll outs/shelves - the couple of cabinet makers i spoke with didn't mention anything ! Will reconsider the sizing!

Many cabinet company don't see a problem with them within a one year warranty. We also only offer a one year warranty however being a smaller rural business our business comes mostly from word of mouth. This means that how our cabinets hold up over 5, 10, 15, even 20 years is a lot more important than for larger companies.

Makes sense AFritzler! I am glad i know now to double check this !
