Kitchen layout?
Hi there! We're looking at renovating our small kitchen this year (either partially or fully). If we did a partial renovation we would just update the cabinet fronts, benchtop and add a full tiled wall splashback. However, I am completely stuck as to how we could reconfigure this layout if we went with a full renovation, as all the windows really limit what we could do. Our wish list for a full reno would be..
- Full height cabinets instead of having the awkward space between them and the ceiling.
- Possibly some open shelving for display
- Space for a slightly larger fridge (would need to increase width of benchtop on that side to do this)
- Appliance cupboard
- A cupboard space for rubbish bins and recycling
- A pull out draw for oils/spices/utensils
- Better use of cabinet storage
- Switch to a freestanding gas oven instead
- Possibly a pull out pantry
- New benchtop (but keep tile underneath which we just did)
Would love any thoughts you had on layout ideas as we are completely stuck! Thanks :)

Comments (0)Hello everyone =) Only In the early stages of redesigning kitchen (for the first time). I'm doing this on quite a tight budget, so will not be moving plumbing around. Below are the first set of drawings that have received - to which have made a few modifications to and you can see my notes are written all over it. Drawing is pretty close to scale, and have already extended bench on the left to make room for a breakfast bar- so this can't go out any further. I feel that I do have at least 1 or 2 areas of wasted space (see blue note on 2nd image), and am hoping for any ideas/solutions what i could do for this corner, or any other suggestions for that matter would be fantastic. Thank you! FYI i have asked and there is not enough room for a 'lazy susan' corner cupboard....See MoreKitchen design for new build
Comments (0)We are in the process of doing up plans for a new build and I have changed around the kitchen layout as I felt in the original one, the scullery was too cramped and not big enough for a working area. Question - has anyone got a similar layout to top plan, which is the newer one? If so, does it work? Would love to hear from you! We do a lot of entertaining so want a plenty of room to move in kitchen! The area along from island bench, on wall, is a bar area. Thanks...See MoreWhich kitchen layout will function best?
