If you want to make a structural change you could extend the wall on the right out to the face of pantry cabinet which makes the room more asymmetrical, then it maybe looks more intentional? Honestly I would leave it alone, once there is furniture etc you won’t be standing still in one place.

A puzzle. I personally don’t care for the sides of the cabinetry to be exposed to view from the other room. But I’m not sure closing up the opening some on both sides will help with the off-centeredness.

I would have never noticed that. Once your furniture and decor is in, I doubt you will either. There is just so much else to look it when it's finished.

I am curious though, what your "architectural designer" has to say about it?

These are the things that bother me.

The kitchen would have to be redesigned in its entirety and the window moved to get complete symmetry behind the opening, but I don't think that's necessary really. And who knows what moving that window would do to the facade.

#1. The triangular "pediment" framing the kitchen looks "supported" on the Right side and completely unsupported on the Left, because there is no wall there.

#2. The wall to the left with the switches on it just looks visually weak and unresolved.

#3. is minor but the archway to the left dies into the wall and in my opinion that always looks unresolved. However this not something most people even notice I don't think.

I will be back with a possible solution in a minute.

It looks like the kitchen layout makes sense, which is the most important factor. I agree with others that once you have furnishings, it will be just fine.

Maybe if you get this balanced:

It will be much easier to change your perspective than it is to change framing at this stage. Symmetry is overrated. Way overrated.

Once the furnishings are in the living space your eye won't be going straight to the vault, and it will look fine. Just don't use any pendants over the island, and keep the wall color that matches the ceiling.

Once you add hardware to the cabinets, flooring, furniture, you will not notice this.

I think it looks great as is. The focal point is the window with the island, and the kitchen looks very symmetrical and balanced around it. Plus the kitchen does seem to have a very functional layout!

Thanks to all who have commented. I appreciate the input. I

It isn't bad.

Beef up the left side as suggested...and consider arching the opening between rooms so it doesn't look like a wall was removed as an afterthought.

If the window continues to bug you after you get your furniture etc. in, put a roman shade or something over it in the same color as the cabinets. (I'd suggest a cabinetry bridge if it weren't considered dated blasphemy here.) That would give you a wall of cabinets with a window in them instead of a window framed by cabinets.

1. Original picture

2. Add a wall to end of cabinets.

3. Add to the wall to the arch on the left. I like this idea the best. It appears it would help square up the kitchen from the point of view of where pic was taken.

Most importantly discuss any and all suggested ideas with your builder. He/she may have an excellet idea.

The triangular gable at the opening to the kitchen bothers me more than the vault and window not lining up. That gable feels top heavy.

Plus the arches over the door and opening on left and right do not work with the straight opening of the kitchen. I would square up the arches and make them the same height as the opening to the kitchen. Then I'd frame the openings with thick, simple square molding which will help also break up that gable feeling and run the molding all around the room to visually break up the heaviness of the upper gable and ceiling.

Similar to what I did around the doors, but without the craftsman details.
