New kitchen layout

10 days ago

I am needing to replace my kitchen after a house fire and am trying a new layout. This is what has been created so far and but I’m still not 100% sure about it but need to make a decision quickly. Can anyone give any ideas bearing in mind the windows and doors restricting where fridge/oven stack and larder can go. Any advice much appreciated.

A floorplan with dimensions would be helpful

It’s all of this as we knocked the partition wall down when we first moved in.

Presumably if you detest sinks and stoves in the island you don't mind guests talking to your back? Personally I have found it works brilliantly I can prep cook and chat all at the same time and don't feel at all left out, the beauty of an island is people can circulate around it and you, more likely to top your drink up as well if they can see you. I think the perfect combo is a hob and prep sink in the island and large messy stuff sink and built in ovens within the perimeter cupboards. Once the wall is down you have a large area with many options, have you tried any kitchen designers to see what they come up with? Try several, you may get enough ideas to mix and match and choose from.

Congratulations on your new home! Whether or not you decide to take out the partition wall depends on how tidy you are and how much you cook. If you did remove the wall you could make the kitchen bigger but equally you could make it feel bigger with your choice of materials. This photo shows a display in our Harrogate showroom with a mirrored splashback, this helps make the kitchen feel bigger. If we can help in any way please contact us, our details are on our pro page.

I am personally a fan of open plan and even kids love being in an open plan area specially if you will have kids it's a great idea to watch over them or do things together as a family.. and in terms of roof if pitched roof is giving high ceiling then go for that :)! All the best beautiful home btw!

I think plan2 looks/works best but i'd suggest a few changes. For the tower run, having only a 20mm filler is to tight and doors open more than 90 degrees so they'll be rubbing at the freezer end, i'd suggest changing the 600 and 800 larders to a 1200 breakfast style larder, having drawers and worktop inside, shelved above and power for toaster etc, the doors can be pocket style so they open then slide down the sides out of the way when in use, make the wall nib a bit wider by about 100mm so you have 50-70mm fillers at each end, probably bring the towers forward (or make them extra deep) and this would allow for the pocket doors to slide away more. Depending on ceiling height you could have extra tall towers or top boxes on top and then infill about 50-100mm up to the ceiling. Also check the height of the appliances as in the pics it looks to high, i'd have a 450 frontal with pan drawer and internal drawer instead. On the opposite wall as long as all the 800 drawer units end past the window is good, window sill same as worktop possibly, (either end the run before or after the window) lose the 400 open unit in front of the wall nib and have a door (door could be made to look like 2 drawer fronts to match) on this as it will be just a dust trap, in the 1000 drawer units i'd suggest having internal drawers for utensils etc, the corner unit is good especially with the fly moon pull out as they're great (in my opinion) and as the corner post is made on site its gives the fitter more flexibility in positioning the units as its not a fixed corner. The sink run is fine but i wouldn't suggest opening a d/washer door to let the steam out as it can damage the surrounding doors, cabinets, decor panels and even worktops (thread on mumsnet where steam has damaged granite worktops). For the island if a 500 bin is big enough then fine but you might find a 600 pull out is better as its usually a 4 bin unit, possibly change the 1000 1+2 so its a 2 pan with internal drawer and then on the other side i'd have 2x 800 which would look more symetrical. For wall units its up to you, but if its an electric hob (especially induction) the extractor should be wider than the hob and if this area is going to be a main prep area than having wall units you can add extra lighting.
