Good day Everyone,
I am renovating a kitchen from a bungalow built in 1968. My parents bought that bungalow brand new. Attached you find a picture of the kitchen in its glory days in 1985. My mother is on the back on that picture. According to my mother, in 1968 that kitchen was so beautiful and modern , everything she wished for and more. Back in 1968, the kitchen was built in place, made from pine board.
I bought the house from my parents and I am now renovating.
The second picture is the kitchen in octobre 2016 just before it was all destroyed.
The third picture is now, cabinets and floor removed.
I need help deciding on the cabinet layout. I am thinking not installing cabinet on the wall where the window is for a more open look. What do you think?
The floor will be hard wood, the counter top black or white I have not decided yet. The cabinet under the island will be wood as well. Cabinet is white in thermoplastic. And the tile probably glass tile but only on the wall where the range hood is.

hace 7 añosI would leave them off if you can, but I understand the storage concern. A set of shelves on each side would keep it open but allow a little storage - if you are up to dealing with some open shelving. If you do shelves, use the uppers for more decor - pitchers or large bowls you don't use often and just dust them off when needed. Keep frequently used items on the lower shelf where hopefully they get used enough not to get dusty.
You could also do cabinets with glass doors or plate rail cabinets for a more open feel.

hace 7 añosGN builder, yes the 3rd picture is the design of the new kitchen. A corner cabinet can fit. Here is a picture of the corner.

hace 7 añosI am thinking extending the counter top up to the fridge and have one module of the cabinet going down to the countertop. This way the corner is more accessible.

hace 7 añosSophie1B - An option for the corner is to do a 45 degree cabinet. This gives you lots of space and you don't lose anything to the blind corner. Also we would recommend you paint your cabinet over thermal foil. Thermal Foil can't handle the heart, and you can't repair it. You also can't paint thermal foil if you ever wanted to do a repair to change the color out.
