Need help with kitchen

hace 7 años

I am trying to figure out what color scheme to go with in my kitchen. The floor is a grey color. I am getting stainless steel appliances next month and I cannot decide which color cabinets to get. I was leaning towards a dark brown and a white counter top. The only issue is I have so many cabinets and no pantry.. I am not sure where I could even place one with how open this kitchen is.

Is the back wall empty? You can do shallow cabinet pantry there depending on space between island and the wall

Hi Cristina, your table looks very beautiful however I discourage to have such furniture at home because of the mirrors. I work as a feng shui consultant and I know that the mirrors have some kind of power and one should be very carful placing them in the house. My personal opinion is to have a mirror in the place where the mirror can´t see you while you are resting or sleeping because in long term it can have negative influence on you. The mirror was created to look at it and it shouldn´t be used extensively also because of the reflections of the light. The human eye naturally is used to see the light coming from certain directions, if it comes from the direction which is not used to the light, especially artificial one, it may effect your vision or have negative influence on your mood. I'm talking about something very subtle which sometimes may be felt after some time. Another thing is that I always encourage people to don´t use repetitive patterns in the house just simple irregular forms and calm and worm colours which make the space more cozy and more natural. If you need more help with the rest of your house please let me know. I could make a 3d visualisation of your place to shaw the layout. Best \Marcin

We have an open floor plan and have placed glossy white tiles ( with a hint of grey veins) through out the living, dining areas, accented with a black border. Contemporary look. Now we need to figure out the kitchen! White tiles, black granite counters n backspash, white cabinets??? I havent seen many Houzz kitchen photos w white floor tiles

Hola SARAH: I've never seen those kind of vents. It's not that they look bad. They are simply strangers, but as CECILIA tells you, they will be valid in an industrial concept, as the photo joint shown. It's not a romantic atmosphere, nor for art lovers. It's just a little ugly.

hi GESTION ESTETICA If you click 'edit' on the page I sent, it displays the distance in centimeters when editing the room dimensions. The closets and furniture shown in image 1 are exactly how my room is, both in dimensions and placement, right now. I plan to remodel it later, like in the second image or a different one that's more organized, as I see fit or as you may suggest.

The back wall at the moment has our dinner table in front of it.. then there is also an opening with pillars on the side..

Your first call should be to a local kitchen designer. That call should precede your appliance purchase, and the choice of cabinetry. The first plan in any kitchen plan is FUNCTION. And possibly some wall opening adjustments which are very out of sync in style and proportion. Get some local design help before proceeding further?

Unfortunately you put the floor down first. As Jan said kitchen plan should have been done first

Yeah we weren't going to change the cabinets. We did the transformation kit but it turned out weird. I like the layout and openings for the kitchen as they are. I like a little separation, I'm just trying to figure out what color would go with the flooring and see if anyone has any suggestions on where I could place a pantry.

You could paint the cabinets lots of colors -- a cream or white that goes with the counters and walls would be a popular choice, or a pale gray, or you could bring in a bit of color with a light green or blue. I agree that I'd try to put pantry cabinets on the two-tone wall. If that's out, we need a floor plan.

Yeah, I saw this one idea it was like bench seating and on each side of it there was a pantry. Then that means I could get rid of the table and still have one there. My husband likes dark cabinets but I like the grey.. it's confusing. I guess I'll post when we get it all together.

You "like the openings and the layout just the way it is" Except you don't, because you have no pantry, which MAY have been possible with the closing of the rectangle opening next to the large arched, and a slight move of the island. Hard to say with no dimensions. Hard to say what might have been possible : )

I mean I thought the same thing but i also don't want to walk into my house and see a wall. I like being able to see right into the kitchen. But I don't like it to open.
Hope B

But I do like the layout the only thing I am trying to figure out is where I can place a pantry. I shouldn't have to close the openings to my kitchen to place a pantry especially when there is an entire blank wall right across from the island..

What's the aisle dimension between the island and wall?
smm5525
hace 7 años
Here's what shallow pantry cabinets could look like along that back wall. The depth would depend on the aisle space and the width would depend on what you are doing with a table in the space. 9 to 12" depth pantry should be sufficient for efficient storage (deep shelves aren't as efficient because things get lost in the back).

The same might work on the side wall if you close opening next to the arch. Again depends on dimensions. Can you sketch out on paper a rough floorplan marking dimensions including aisles and openings?

It's it's 7.5 ft wide from the island to the wall and 15 feet long from the sliding glass door to the arches

That's a great amount of space! Do a search for cabinet pantry on Houzz. So many options!

I don't think the floor will affect this at all since they can install cabinets over the floor.

7.5 ft from counter to wall right?

Shallow shelving could be used on the long wall. The pictures above would look fantastic in your space. Good Luck and let us know what you decide!

Yes from the wall to the island.. and that's exactly what I was thinking. If we kept the same floor plan we shouldn't have to change the floor with new cabinets. I mean I even considered taking out the set of cabinets between the stove and the fridge and making that a large pantry..

To compromise on colors with hubby, you can do light colored on the main cabinets and a medium tone stain on pantry. Or even a darker color painted pantry cabinets.

Don't do that. You don't want a pantry breaking up workspace between stove and fridge. Both need sufficient landing counter space for efficient prep and cooking zones. Use the back wall. It'll be great!

Yeah we were thinking dual tone like light uppers and maybe have the island darker because I really want white countertops. The laminate ones are tacky and they're all scratched from the previous owner.. but I need to change the backsplash.. I just need a color scheme I took my floor board to Home Depot with me to match some colors and they looked nice but it's different with the entire floor

I like the shaker cabinets because they're modern and look so clean. It's just a hard decision when I can't see it all on the floor

This is one of my favorite kitchens. In your case I would either do the island different and keep pantry same as perimeter or keep island and perimeter same and island different. You can do white cabinets with medium tone stain and white marble like quartz countertops

See I love the blue island haha, like the photo above. But yeah I was thinking white cabinets and a different color island just to make a color statement so everything isn't so basic.

Think of your floor as neutral. Then pick the countertops you like. Cabinets are easier to pick because so many paint options.

What countertop material did u have in mind?

I really like how they put the pantry in there it looks like it's meant to be there not an addition because they attached it to the ceiling. That'll be hard for me with cathedral ceilings

I wanted quartz countertops. I saw a white diamond color but they said it's only for bathrooms so that was gone. I don't want to white though I want like some tones in it like maybe a grey wash or something but nothing to bold. Because I think I may put a glossy backsplash like subway tile or something similar

It'll be fine. You might consider moving or shortening the opening but with flooring in, it might not be feasible

Look at LG Minuet or LG rococo Quartz. White with marble like veining. Very pretty

For backsplash wait until counters and cabinets are done. Then get samples and see them in your space before you decide

Yeah I yeah I've thought about it but I don't think it will be feasible I think the wall in the middle is load bearing but not 100%. I like the pantry you suggested though. We should have plenty of space. The only reason we did the floors first isn't to go backwards lmao it's because when we moved in the floors were horrible and messed up and needed replaced ASAP. We didn't think we'd replace the cabinets because we heard so much about the transformation kits. But when we started it. It wasn't that great.. it scratched easily and just looked tacky in my opinion.

Are you painting or replacing cabinets?

We tried pairing and when we did the clear coat with the kit it made the cabinets look tacky because we did the dark paint. So we stopped and didn't finish the top ones. So only the lower and island is done. We're getting our appliances next month so after that we will have the cabinets replaced if not at the same time.

If you are replacing cabinets consider getting rid of microwave above stove. You can do a MW drawer or microwave on shelf in island or on perimeter. A good vent above stove, all drawers in base cabinets to maximize storage

I agree but wouldn't someone have to install the vent so there is a place for it to go? Or how does that work??

Is it an exterior wall? If not, they would probably have to run it through the side. I'm not sure but a contractor would give suggestions.
