My husband and I are in the planning stages of a complete kitchen remodel. We have an L-shaped kitchen with the back wall measuring 203". We are sensitive to a wall of appliances and need to incorporate a built-in pantry preferably 36", 42" built-in refrigerator, 36" induction cooktop and a double wall oven into the design. Our designer proposed pairing the ovens and refrigerator on the adjoining wall. The countertop adjacent to the refrigerator will open to the breakfast room.

I wonder if this will feel out of scale. My concern about the location of the wall oven is that it will be the first thing you see when you enter the kitchen from the mudroom. This is the way most people enter our home. To complicate things, the mudroom has a 9 light door. I live at the back of a cul-de-sac and approach my house straight on, with a direct view of the kitchen through the mudroom door. There is no option for a pocket door/barn door to separate the mudroom from the kitchen. The garage door will be relocated to the mudroom wall with the hooks. It is currently located on the 203" kitchen wall. The pass through between the mudroom and kitchen will move over slightly to allow for complete use of the 203" wall. And yes, we are closing up the window.

Thanks for any help and ideas!
