kitchen design dilemma

5 years ago

Our designer gave us these renderings but we are having a difficult time deciding where to put the wall oven? Our appliances are a 36 inch induction cooktop with 30 inch wall oven with microwave/convection oven above. We have yet to pick out our refrigerator but are leaning towards a 36 counter depth or 36 or 42 inch built in.

Any other suggestions for the kitchen are welcomed.

    #2 .

    Option two to me is the most generic typical way to go about it. It does break up some of the cabinetry but I think it’s the best option

    You have 3 doorways coming into the kitchen...what are they for?

    I would choose option 1 with the following changes:

    1.make the cabinet on the left of the fridge a 24" depth tall cabinet to house all the cleaning supplies or a pull out pantry. That way that wall is all full depth and visually cohesive+ gaining extra storage+saving on countertop

    2.the corner cabinet on the right side of the door should have the uppers meet the lowers. The space highlighted in red can become your appliance garage(store mixers, other small appliances that are not used often) and or/use that space for a built in coffee maker if you fancy one. You are also saving a bit of countertop/backsplash

    3.this layout is great because it gives you the most continuous countertop space around the stove top. Because the space gained in storage as per above #1 and #2 you can consider using some of the upper space on the left and right of the hood for open shelving or at least some glass cabinets for a more open feel. Of course if you like this. Will give some example inspiration pics

    For the left of the fridge pull out pantry

    Or cleaning/broom closet/cleaning supplies

    I would choose option three. first you are right across from the island easy access to place cookies sheets eat right out of the oven. and Im guess all your spices and cooking supplies with be close to your stove top so it makes sense to me to have it right next. That was my reasoning for my new kitchen and I have no regrets.

    My preference in order is 2, 1 (with great changes noted above) and a far distant third place..... number 3.

    I like 2, with the modification of swapping the refrigerator with the cabinets to the right, so there is a longer continuous countertop and to bring the refrigerator closer to the sink and cooktop. You didn’t give any information about any specific needs, but I would use the area that is left of the refrigerator as a coffee and/or snack bar.

    Our concern of #2 is that it will make that wall asymmetrical and unbalanced. Would you eliminate any of the cabinets? What are your thoughts? Thank you all.
