Ideas for cabinets in dining

5 years ago

For our new kitchen (floor plan below) we are going with white shaker style cabinets for kitchen and the island. We also have a row of base cabinets close to dining table. Ideally we will like to put a buffet table there but we think it will look odd there with a window. So trying to find ways to use the space. We are considering putting a row of cabinets so that it act as storage and the counter space can be used too.

We are thinking to put european style (all flushed, no handle) cabinets with some wood grain design and use butcher block as countertop in that area. How does this sound like from design perspective? Any other better ideas we can consider?

Yes it should work, but you haven't really specified what any of your finishes are? What are your back splash and countertops? You can add shelving and really make it a bar area, I see you have a wine fridge in this area. Here are so e photos to help flush this area out more. Good luck!

Personally since this looks like your only dining table I would go with cabinets narrower than base cabinets. Your space available with the base cabinets for the table looks like around 10 1/2 feet. If you have the typical 4 foot wide table you will have around a 3 foot space for chairs. It is doable, but a little tight for someone sitting and someone trying to walk by. Maybe use a narrow buffet or top cabinets. Yes, top cabinets can be used as base cabinets. The table will have to be offset in the room for use of the chairs closest to the cabinets, so if you plan to have a chandelier over the table you will have to offset that also.
