Need help with my kitchen design plan

hace 8 años

Putting a complete new high gloss kitchen in but unsure of which lay out will look best as kitchen is 19ft long and 10 ft wide. We were thinking of putting a full wall (10ft) to hold the ovens, fridge, freezer etc and then a 4 ft x 12ft island down the middle so it would look like a 'T' shape. But unsure what it would look like.. all ideas welcome but we're trying to stay away from the traditional look of work surfaces on either side of the 10ft room facing each other. Thanks

Thanks for the post. The island has been changed to be in the middle of the room with 1 metre either side & we have also decided to reduce it to fit the slab of granite or what ever we use. Really appreciate your comments as want to take a risk and do something different & we are also doing up our utility room so will have loads more cupboards in there. I think I just need to trust my gut instinct & go for it.

Would help greatly if you had a picture or better still a plan of the layout showing the windows / doors etc?

Hi Julie. This kitchen is wider but shows a T shape layout just to give you a bit of an idea as it's quite hard to find pics of this layout. I think there is another on the website.

were you also planning on including the hob within the island? Is a freestanding oven out of the question? Just thinking it may work better with a FF on one side with a larder unit on the other and an oven in between so you have work surface on the 10ft ŵall. Sink and DW etc in the island

Hello Janice. I understand you already own the furniture and you wish to reupholster them or dress them, is it correct? Could you send us a picture of your space, so we can give more accurate ideas? Thanks :)

Help! I need ideas for roof design // Ayuda! Necesito ideas para techo
Q
(0) comentarios
My project is a small convenience store. The client pretty much wants to use as much space from the lot as he cant so the floor plan is just a rectangle, a simple rectangle. In front there's a covered terrace and i tried to make an entrance that can stand out. The problem right now is I dont want the roof design to be simple, but I'm having trouble with this. Im attaching the floor plan and two options for the main facade. HEEEELP! El proyecto es una tiendita pequeña. El ciente quiso utilizar el terreno al maximo, es por esto que la planta arquitectonica es rectangular, un simple rectangulo. En la fachada principal hay una terraza cubierta y trate de hacer una entrada que resalte. El problema que encuentro ahora es un diseño para el techo que no sea simple. Estoy adjuntando la planta arquitectonica y dos opciones de fachadas. AYUUDA! Mil gracias.

HELP - contractor totalled quote incorrectly, now says owe +10,000

@Cruca : Thank you for responding We both signed the original AND a mid-renovations updated contract, and both totalled 40.000. However, at the very end, he recognised an error on the final total, and explained that if I add up all the individual items, it totals 50.000. I understand, but he knew my budget was 40.000, and now because the work is finished, I can't even remove or reduce any of the work. It just seems unfair, because everyone could say that all the time. I trusted my builder, and as it was a printed document, I assumed all his calculations were correct!

Gm everybody, My wife and me are trying to design our new kitchen, and we are a bit concern about its location in the house. This is a DIY project, so we are looking for opinions. As you can see in the picture, we are creating the kitchen room at the left bottom side and keeping a garden at the left upper. Our first idea was to locate the kitchen close to the living door (upper in the picture) but we would like to mantain the garden. Thanks in advance for any kind of help!! Rodri

Plan of kitchen but unsure if it looks right with the size of the kitchen.

did they not give you perspective images to help you envisage it ? Its similar to one I did last week actually ! With an island being the main work center and the cooking on the end wall. It works well for clients who like island kitchens.

Hi Julie, Regarding the island size... if you are thinking of stone or quartz, you may want to reduce its length down to around 3100 - 3300 so the worktop can be supplied in one piece, although the joins are really good these days...you can still see it. Good luck, Steve & Bene

Hi Julie - you will probably maximise more storage space if you had units against the perimeter of the kitchen rather than a central island unit. The central island unit is great if you have a lot of space on either side but looking at your layout, although there is space it is not generous. Also the FF is quite far from your sink. I will put your FF/hob/sink within close promitiy to each other. If you want a breakfast bar still, you can always have one coming out of the wall. Let me know if that makes sense.

Thanks, but the lay out you have described is the current lay out of the kitchen and I was looking to see if I could do something different with it.

I think the layout is fine but could probably do with a few tweaks.

For me, the island is too long and space you have either side is on the right side. I like to work on a minimum of 1 metre between island and wall/units. The island as it is is tighter than that and I think it will look pretty squashed on the side with less than 900 mm.

As mentions on an earlier comment, the length of the island will mean you'll need a joint if using Quartz or granite. If you can shrink the island length ways then reducing the width would look right proportion wise and that would give you the extra room you need.

I wouldn't worry about the fridge being too far from the sink, kitchen diners these days can be large areas and if you want a design like yours or a feature American fridge run its common to have the fridge further away. As long as Bob is near sink for emptying pans of hot water you'll be fine.

If you're looking to avoid having the same as what you already have then I think that general theme for the layout is on the right track

Yup go for it !!! It will be stunning !
Don't leave too much gap between ovens and a set down area though - 1300mm ish is a good gap ( think hot casserole that you need to put down !!)

Thanks but if we have it 1300mm from oven to island when you enter via the door from the hall you'll be walking into the island & can't move the door as had thought of that but could swing the door out the way. Would it look right walking into the room and seeing the island straight on??

What's on the other side of the door ? The one I did last week had stairs and hallway and so we could move the entrance door back the same depth of the stairs to allow it to open fully before the kitchen IYSWIM ... made a big difference . If you put boxes or dining chairs in the room to see the effect of the island in that position it might help in visage it better too. Islands generally don't interrupt your sight line so aren't as much of an interruption as you might think ! Unless the two doors are a main walkway ? Then I'd reconsider putting the ovens on that wall and suggest you have them built under in the island.

I think an important question to ask is how do you normally work inside your kitchen? I am a firm believer in functionality as well as good design. Kitchens should be practical and having a good flow where appliances/hob/sink can be easily accessible should be taken into consideration. It can be a very personal choice but one that should be thought through. I agree with previous comment regarding 1800mm clearance to be quite a distance to go to between oven and island unit. I still stand by my comment regarding the sink being too far from your FF. Imagine having to to walk 4m to get from FF to sink. If you have a tape measure, a good exercise to do is to map out those distances and see whether you will be happy with that on a daily basis. I hope that makes sense.
