Yet another kitchen floorplan debate...

5 years ago

Debating kitchen floorplans, with basically opposite pros & cons....dimensions in last photo.


Option A:

Pros:

  • Arms of prep polygon good distance apart
  • Prep zone does not cross traffic
  • More pantry

Cons:

  • Arms of prep polygon criss-cross IWSF order
  • Cleaning/prep zones overlap
  • Unsure where secondary (2`) prep zone would be?
  • Fridge/freezer separated


Option B:

Pros:

  • Solves all of Option A's cons

Cons:

  • Crosses hallway traffic
  • Short arms following IWFS, but long other arms (eg, fridge to range)
  • Less pantry


Option C:

some perfect yet-to-be-discovered arrangement????


Other considerations:

  • I like that both have the bar/coffee/MW area out of prep zone, so anyone grazing can get what they need w/o interfering with cook.
  • Pantry space not a deal-breaker, have secondary pantry space elsewhere.
  • Perimeter countertops granite, island countertop butcher block. I'd rather keep the island clear; I love a nice big uninterrupted work surface and have heard sink is not good w/ butcher block?
  • Mostly use range and 1` oven, less often use 2` oven

Thank you!
