Awkward tiny kitchen help!

6 years ago

I have a small 9x13 kitchen with something taking up space that I cannot move on each wall. I can move electrical and plumbing. I cannot move windows or the chimney bump out. oh. and it also has to accommodate a standard size stackable washer and dryer.

    What are the dimensions of the corner by the door? And full size w/d dimensions - 27x33?

    From door frame to chimney bump out is 40 inches. The bump out is then 11inx30.5 inches. Yes, 27x33 for W/D

    Without changing the windows so you can actually install something , how can we help ?

    So, some initial ideas and questions:

    - measurements of usable wall space for fixed appliances?

    - can you run water to anywhere in the room or are pipes restricted to the sink area?

    - idea: galley kitchen with combination of cabinets and a moveable piece such as a butcher block or stainless steel cabinet height rollout to put in front of window on long wall. Configuration and space by door will depend on pipe situation.

    Flow and placement suggestions are greatly appreciated. I thought about putting the built in cabinet for the W/D where the sink is in the picture above, and put the sink next to that. Then could I put the fridge across from the W/D? It would be in that corner between the two windows. Or would it be best to put the fridge and stove on the chimney wall. I have 6 feet of wall space between the chimney bump and the window. I have 8 feet from sink to the radiator. thanks again

    I can put water on all walls except the door wall.

    For fridge: I can do counter depth or any size...but prefer not use the apartment small fridges.

    Regarding the windows: This seems like a good solution.

    You need a European sized w/d like a Miele or Bosch. Bosch is cheaper but people like them. Both have on board heaters. They are about 23" wide, around 30" tall or may be 33" and about 24" deep IIRC.

    Ugh, I feel you as my kitchen has something on every one of its short walls as well.


    Are you in a Northern climate? Is that radiator really necessary? We are in Chicago and have a lot of awkward, tiny kitchen, and in some instances people have capped off their radiators to them. It's cold but not unlivable...


    Or, they've replaced them with something like a toekick radiator.


    Can you post a floor plan with dimensions? Or get a sketch going in some room planning software?

    Pennsylvania, so it needs something to heat it. I've toyed with radiant floor heating, but havent found anyone local who said anything positive about it.

    I'll work on a sketch.

    Look at the Myson toe kick hydronic heater. We had installed in October and it is AMAZING! our radiator was windowsill height but 7 ft long. We got the medium size which is plenty to heat our kitchen. They are available at Home Depot and run about $250. Extremely reasonable and very very well made. Plumber installs right to existing pipes . You will gain great workspace. I can post pics if you want
