Kitchen renovation

hace 6 años

Would appreciated any suggestions for our two kitchen layout options-specifically the microwave wall. Should we keep counter top space for a coffee hub area as in kitchen b, or do a built in with drawer storage? Any other ideas welcome. Thanks!

I prefer A as it gives you landing space to set hot items.

Althou A give you that extra counter space, I personally wouldn't want to use it with a microwave right on my face. B looks more finished. -personal not professional opinion

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!

FULL REFURBISHMENT OF A SINGLE STORY HOUSE IN VALLPINEDA, SITGES
Q

Our team planned a complete renovation of the interior design, bringing the property up to the XXI Century.The central idea of the new design starts by opening the front views of the house to the garden, in order to flood the interior with natural light and, at the same time, to put the focus on the sea views. The living room gets leveled with the rest of the house, articulating itself around the new gas fireplace. An astonishing kitchen island with breakfast area is introduced near the new dinning room, complete with kitchen drawers with oak fronts to hide all the facilities. The different spaces can be separated by a series of sliding doors in solid wood that creates different effects when opened and closed.

In this dissertation, we are warned that to renovate a house, so that everyone sarisfecho sits down, it is enough to make some partial feforms and maintain everything that contributes to the personality of the home. If we make such a total change, affecting everything previously existing, it is clear that our home, we cannot feel it easily like ours.

Agree about landing spot and also coffee center, which will otherwise end up competing for some other portion of your very scant counter space!

Put the refrigerator where the wall oven/microwave is in design two. I like the stacked cabinets and moldings in design 1 , But both designs aren't great.

Having a refrigerator in a place that brings everyone in the family into the main work area is a bad idea. Also without dimensions it's hard to know exactly how tight this design is. Never leave less than 42" from the front of a refrigerator to the island countertop. You can't stand in front of the refrigerator while you open it.

Having a person at the sink have to move every time someone opens the refrigerator is a big problem too. The triangle between the sink. range and refrigerator should be between 19 and 25'. this one is about 13'.

Any good kitchen designer would practically insist that the refrigerator goes in the other spot.

I like "B".

We have a cabinet microwave and an appliance garage where I keep the coffeemaker. I prefer not to have things on the countertops. I think it looks cleaner and more open.

Thanks! We originally had the fridge where the microwave was, but moved it so it was closer to the dinning room.

I understand your rationale for having the fridge in this position, but I do hope you are using a counter depth fridge and have the wall measure just a smidge beyond the cabinet and cabinet door projection. Otherwise, you will may encounter a challenge removing your crisper bins and possibly even pulling them open, without pulling out your fridge each time. In B, it looks as though the wall projects out a distance, and the fridge looks fairly close to the wall. It would be my inclination to put the fridge on the microwave wall, with a pantry to the right, thus providing more counter space where you need it most. The island would be a sufficient landing spot while taking things out of the fridge. Your coffee maker and any other appliances would have more room, with the fridge moved out of that area. You have pieces of counter that look to be 30-36" wide each side of the range and sink fairly centered to the island. You could have a cabinet that includes a spot for your microwave and an appliance garage at the end nearest the dining room if you really don't want small appliances exposed or put the micro in a base cabinet. The sink and fridge so close to each other will create a high traffic area, and unless you have room for 48" island counter to counter, I personally wouldn't do it. It would be hard to work in for 2 people. I have replaced many kitchens with this exact layout dynamic. Good luck with your decision process!

I agree with Main Line Kitchen Design. If you move the fridge to the other space your range will be centered and the entire kitchen will look bigger. You can easily place the microwave below the counter top either in the island or to the left or right of the range. This would create that entire wall (with the range) end to end counter top. You could put a 12 cabinet depth appliance garage at one end to hide coffee bar, toaster, etc. Good Luck!
