kitchen window placement

2 years ago

Designing a new kitchen that will have a 5x4 window. I’m struggling to decide the best kitchen layout. Is it ok that the window is not centered? I do like the idea of a stacked double oven but would be ok with a standard stove and oven. Which of the 3 looks best?

    Definitely, the second option…the range/hood/flanking cabinets is a dedicated/functional/beautiful focal point that fits that space perfectly and keeps the width of the kitchen open, where the other options visually shrink the width of the kitchen. The functional flow of the kitchen spaces is optimized with that layout also…left to right…fridge to sink for prep, then to dedicated cooking area and finally to island for serving.

    number 1 or 3 .

    The second one. The worst one is the 3rd one. That placement of the range is not good.

    It would be helpful if you provided a floor plan of the kitchen with measurements to see the layout better. For example, make sure the aisle widths between the island and cabinets is 48" - and that is from edge of counter to edge of counter (not cabinet to cabinet).

    Definitely 2. Best work flow by far. You have a great stretch of counter between sink and range, which is your best prep space, you have a reasonable stretch of counter on the opposite side of the range, which is useful in the cooktop work, your DW is not between sink and range or in the corner (either of which is suboptimal). Option 3 is the most visually attractive but the worst work flow, as @aem04 said.

    What is the reason for the island cabinet that extends into the seating area on the right side of the island? It looks odd and it makes the seating more cramped. Unless it's giving you something unique and crucial in your storage, I would make that an open seating area all across, with matching corbels or furniture legs on each end if needed.

    I agree. 2 is your best Bet.
    It’s ultimately a choice in what you want the focal point to be , the windows or the range. But I think the back wall needs to be symmetrical.

    What does the window placement look like from the exterior?

    Where do the doorways lead to?

  • 2 years ago

    Dining room to the left and mud room to the right

    Why do you have a door into the kitchen and only a few feet away you have an opening between kitchen and dining room? Also what is up with the bump out at that opening?

    The door from the dining room to the kitchen will be removed and will be just a short wall. The post will move over to where the end of the wall was. Please disregard what you currently see

    Post the floor plan because the kitchen and windows dont exist in a vacuum

    I like one. maybe because i really want a double oven haha. gives good prep space in front of window and you can use island as well. 2 would be second choice.

    something is off.. 2 is yiru best overall concept, but the window is not centered and then the island is not centered and its all off balance - too heavy on right and with the upppers on the right not going to ceiling, but left they do.. need the floor plan

    how many feet will the left wall be . If it is indeed quite short why dont you turn the island to run lengthwise top to bottom in the space. then you get a wider walkway behind stools ....to fridge ..... as most foot traffic goes there. [ since plan 2 seems popular]
