2 Kitchen Layout Designs. Which one is better?
Comments (9)The visuals you have are at different vantage points. The second gives the look a tunnel effect I think because it is taken so far back. More importantly though is the functioning of the kitchen, and even more so the entire house. From experience, the kitchen designers on this site are going to want you to graph out the cabinets etc. to make suggestions off of. Visually, I think it would be best to allow more space along the back with the vent and cabinets. Perhaps even some glass upper cabinets to provide a more open look. Have you given up making the current door from kitchen to patio into a window? If you have, perhaps you could widen the sink window instead. With the extra cabinets on the opposite side of the pennisula, you should have enough storage to allow for loosing some storage to a bigger window. Depending on your options for furniture placement in the living room, perhaps you can take down an additional wall between the dining room and living room to create a more open feel for the main living areas while still keeping the kitchen mess hidden to a degree....See MoreHelp with kitchen layout. Which is better?
Comments (15)@mama goose, everyone who helped. We finally had enough stuff done to enable us to move in... we still have a lot of work to do...living room is untouched, doors not fixed, skirting not completed because, doors...etc, , but 90% is done. Here's how to kitchen turned out. 1. This was the final design I made. We got a round expandable dining table and decided against an island. Kitchen lamp still to be fixed. We are not decided on the lamp shape yet - round or rectangular? Any recommendations? The walls are a warm cream and the ceiling is white. The floor is wooden, a warm light brown. 3. The kitchen top is galaxy granite (with golden flecks). The stone was cut to accommodate the cook top, so no bumps. A soap dispenser was also fixed into the stone and the sink too. I love this 'clean' look. 4. My search for a backsplash was...so tiresome! I visited about 10 tile shops and made numerous online searches before I found something I liked on a blog (http://therawhouseproject.blogspot.cz). Then, armed with this, I asked the stores whether they had something similar. Only one said they had it in one of their catalogues - they'd never sold this particular tile and had no samples. I waited 3 weeks to get samples. That's it. Thank you everyone. Once the living room is done...I'll take better final photos....See More2 layouts to go! Need advice on which ones.
Comments (21)Prep space is generally sink-adjacent. So the island is not considered your primary prep space for either plan. Moving the DW to the left of the sink means that the area between the sink and the range is not doing double duty: 1. primary prep area and 2. clean-up/DW-open. And since the space in "C" between sink and range is larger, plus the island and fridge face the primary prep space, "C" is a better plan. ETA I see I cross posted with caligirl5. I would be interested in how either plan interacts with the open concept you've created - I think you had a vaulted ceiling?...See MoreBathroom Layouts - which one will you choose? Move Door?
Comments (13)Maybe something like this: The biggest concern is the space in front of the toilet. The code is that you need 22" clearance in front of the toilet. My powder room is 4'2" deep and I just barely have 22" clearance. In your case, with this layout you have 1" to spare (maybe less if the wall between the tub and the toilet is more than 4" thick). BTW, the space I used for this layout is 95"x138" (I added 4" for the wall between the closet and the bathroom). So I am not sure if in total you have 134 or 138 inches available. EDIT: If your japanese tub is slightly bigger than 40", a tankless toilet could help preserving the 22" required in front of the toilet: EDIT2: To make it more open, the wall separating the tub and the toilet does not need to be full height. It could be just high enough so that you don't see the toilet when seated in the tub....See MoreAnnKH
