Comments (3)Yes, I understand. My own kitchen is similar.. What I like best about your kitch is that there are essentially no upper cabinets. This is a very modern concept, and although your kitchen is not new, it has a progressive design. You are constrained on placement of appliances because of the windows and walls, but that is all right,. I believe that the best outcome for your kitchen would be to swap out your old cabinets for new ones of good quality. I like the timber floor. I would use a simple countertop of thin material (not with a built up edge), keeping the overall feeling light....See MoreNeed help with kitchen design
Comments (8)I think the L shape works for the shape of the room. I am not going to consider the appliances etc, personally I do not like a sink in the middle of the Island Bench so I think you have made the right choice there. The only thing that sticks out to me immediately is that your Island looks too small I think you should extend that out to make the end flush with the length of your cabinets on the garage wall side. It looks like you could probably add another meter onto that end, which will add more seating, more storage and to me would appear more balanced....See MoreHelp with 1960s kitchen design
Comments (4)Possible suggestions if sticking to same floor plan and hands firmly glued to the budget Leave the stove where it is. Down the side of the stove securely attach slimline fireproof panelling to the height of the oven's back control panel and the depth of the oven. Floor to ceiling if you prefer then if you wanted to you could change out the door itself, that is put the door handle to the right of the door so it swings back flush with the fireproof panelling. Put the dishwasher under the stainless steel bench top left of the sink. Take all the cabinetry out where the dishwasher is currently housed place the fridge in the centre of that wall building functional cabinetry around it. Get rid of the cupboard at the end of the stainless steel bench replace it with a wheeled butchers block the same width and depth of bench also have hinged sides so you can get extra useable bench top surfacing. You could then wheel it around include brakes on it of course so little hands don't go racing around with it....See MoreKitchen Benchtop colour choice help
Comments (1)Hello Deb - sounds nice :) If you are going with High Gloss cabinetry this needs to be done 'perfectly' by your kitchen installer as gloss shows EVERYTHING. Just something to be careful of. www.cambridgecolour.co.nz elizabeth@cambridgecolour.co.nz...See More

Frankly, that far wall probably looks better bare.
If you really want those objects, then group them with the coffee maker:
Maybe eliminate objects that don't make sense here...

here's an idea on how to stage some of the items so that they look a little better
remove the square picture and find something longer w/a gray or white frame.maybe a framed chalkboard?
can you post a pic from another angle so we can have a better view?do you need extra storage for this spot or do you like everything in open view? if so, maybe an upper cab, open cubby or glass door cab?
open shelving idea. (very easy DIY)
how about a shelf with hanging hooks for cups?
if you want your small items, at least organize the clutter.
forgo all the kitschy word signs.

- 7 years agoThanks for the feedback. I have three more pictures and you will see I’ve already done some editing.
It is not possible to take walls down. (There are basement stairs behind the wall and the one cabinet has a false door built over the headspace for the basement stairs).

OK dont kill me.
But the pendant deal, not doing you any favors here, and one is missing glass. They are in a bad location and you would be served better with either a directional light to highlight the new set up or a flush mount and let the walls do the talking.
It looks much better, but the little tiny coaster like things are too small. I would put a long shelf on the inside wall with hooks under for coffee mugs and put all your momentous on that
The clock looks much better where you have it now.
Notice the grouping of like items on the pictures posted above, thats what you need. Right now it's kinda like "the cheese stands alone" if you will.

Don't hang little stuff by itself on a big wall. Group things so they read as a larger element.
