Corner cabinetry can be difficult to access, especially reaching the stuff that ends up deepest inside. What is the width of the door opening? What is the measurement from the front access door to the far back corner? What is the length of your arm? Can you get your shoulders into the door opening? Are you adding a light and lucite shelves so you can see what is inside? Are you planning on Lazy Susan round turntable shelving? I suggest you go to a store which has a good display of cabinetry to try out something similar to your plan. Sometimes, butting two wall cabinets and losing the corner is a better solution (you would need a false bottom piece to bridge the corner where the two cabinets meet).

Felizlady, im thinking of having a walk in pantry built in that corner. It would take up 4 feet on the 2 corner walls as is shown in the photo. It will have approximately an 18” door opening.

This is a must read for anyone embarking on a kitchen renovation.

You should of had a kitchen plan before you started to remove the wall.

18” is way too narrow for a door!

18 inches is a TINY door opening. Perhaps you could do a more conventional corner and use pull out pantry cabinets on the end where you have lowers/uppers.

And, frankly hire a kitchen designer and an architect or interior designer. You will save A LOT of money by having professional guidance on the front end. Trust me. My architect had one plan, and my interior designer another. We came up with a rocking great layout before we ever started construction. We stayed on budget and completed a whole house remodel in 6 months. It costs at least twice as much to make changes on the back end and some things can’t ever be changed and you are stuck w bad design.

The layout works. I like the refrigerator near the outside so people have access to drinks and snacks without disturbing the work area. I generally try not to have the sink and cooktop opposite each other because it can lead to butt bumping if two people are working at the same time. But you say the windows are set where they are, so having the cooktop there isn’t the worst thing. It looks great with the symmetry.

I love the two windows. Love the walk-in pantry. Love the bar seating.

I like the general layout, but there are 2 things:

a/ the pantry door is obviously too narrow. may be you can put the fridge there and move the pantry or put the pantry along the wall and move the fridge.

b/ what is the aidles's size? it looks narrow.

I have no upper cabinets - none. Instead, a reach-in pantry (like a clothes closet with sliding doors) that measures 84" long X 20" deep, the shelves are 16" deep. Best decision ever, it holds far more and everything is visible / accessible.You could do the same on the left side of the exterior wall, in lieu of the three-door uppers and base cabs. My closet pantry was "stick built" (common lumber), the cost was peanuts.

Have you considered having all pantry cabinets on the wall with the refrigerator and possibly extending past it—to have a built in look? With the 10 ft island you can lose the small counter space near the fridge.

If you ever want 2 people in there using the sink and range (or worse, oven) at the same time you’ll be in each other’s way.

IMO it might have been the best but not in my world. 1 st corner pantries biggest waste of space ever. 2nd a sink directly across fro the cooking area a bad idea unless you never have anyone else in the kitchen 3rd all your lower cabinets should be drawers. The best pantry ideas are true pullout pantries they will store more that that walk in you put them on the same wall as the counter depth fridge and I suggest 2 18” ones you will then gain a bit more counter space and forget that wall cabinet beside the window. Make sure the drawers near the stove are wide and deep enough for pots and pans . Do not store spices next to the stove Do not be talked into a pullout with doors and the shelves behind the doors that is just a PITA

Patricia - what is a PITA?

Pita is short for pain in the .....area

Pain in the tush.

Hi all, thank you for the input. I got a few renders made based on having no pantry and offsetting the sink from the oven. Do you think there is sufficient upper cabinet space? The only way to get more upper cabinet space would be to delete a window. Any thoughts or comments on this design? Also, which range hood do you prefer? Flat or pyramid?

Gorgeous.

Overall very workable layout. I'd suggest reversing the order of the cabinets on the fridge/pantry wall. I often post a collage which includes huango's corner appliance pantry (top L), when a plan has the fridge and ovens on a short wall near a corner--the two on bottom R might also work:

That would eliminate the open shelves in the corner and provide more storage. You might consider facing the MW drawer toward the fridge, so that if someone wants to use it while you're prepping, he can do so without being in your prep space. As others advised, I'd off-set the sink--start with DW on the right (you might need a return panel if the side panel isn't sturdy enough to support the weight of the counter top), then sink, trash pull-out, and then MW on the left. On the perimeter, use as many drawer bases as possible:

Thank you all for the suggestions, they have been so helpful. Here's a render of the final design after implementing all of your suggestions. The only thing that will change is I will not have an oven/microwave setup on the wall. I will either replace that setup with a 24" Miele speed oven or I will mount that on the island and convert that area to additional pantry space.

Final suggestions as well as thoughts on the drywall hood vs. the stainless steel hood are welcome.

I can't tell if the DW is to the right of the sink (as one faces it), but it should be.

Mama goose, yes the dishwasher will be to the right of the sink. I will also not have a microwave/oven combo. Only a speed oven which should fill the role of microwave and a small oven.

Would you make all the lower cabinets drawers or keep some cabinet style? Also, the island will be 5 feet from the oven, would you still recommend offsetting the sink or can it be centered at that distance?
