Where should I move the refrigerator?

4 years ago

Hi Everyone, I have a small kitchen and I think the refrigerator is over-bearing. I'm going to have my floors and countertops replaced possibly my cabinets if I can budget this. I had a decorator come out and she basically told me if I didn't have $100,000.00 she didn't know what to tell me. Not only did I feel this was waste of my money and rude it was intimidating for me, like there's no hope. Anywho, I'm going to attempt to attach the photo for any suggestions, excuse the clutter. I included the 2 rooms right off the kitchen and I want to move the washer/dryer to the other room so there is a clear walk through to the back door and create much needed storage space. I'm also thinking I can switch the refrigerator to the other side where the toaster oven is and extend the cabinets out to where the refrigerator is.

    Consider drawing a floor plan showing all the existing rooms with all the wall removed as indicated in your post. Seeing all the space will allow you to consider new options....the fridge is the most used and space taking appliance in the kitchen with multiple people using at the same time. Cut templates for the DW, Stove, MW, and Fridge and start moving the templates around.....personally I think it works to have a fridge in an open area near eating area. Play with it and post your results and then get opinions.....and it is always a good idea to purge your kitchen and think about where you want to store the basics and the extras! Small kitchen can be so efficient and easy to work in. Can't wait to see the floor plan ideas you come up with.

    Post a floor plan. And where I live changing appliance placement, removing walls and replacing floors, cabs and counters does usually cost onwards of 100k. A very affordable option in the immediate would be to buy a cabinet depth fridge.

    A floorplan would be the best idea, the clutter in the kitchen is distracting, i think you would get better quality ideas instead of organizing ideas. Thats step 2.

    In that one pic I see your refrigerator that I didn't notice before at the end of the cabinet what's wrong with it being there?

    Hi, it takes up so much space to me. Based on most responses I'm going to clear out the kitchen and repost.

    Your stove should have been on the other side of the room across from the refrigerator near this saying so what forms a triangle
