Kitchen layout - Please help~
Hi all,
I have just purchased a house - layout as follows and I want to renovate my kitchen/laundry. Im family of 7 so need a lot of space~!
The place im getting a quote from has suggested the following floorplan.
The width of kitchen is quite narrow.
Any suggestions on how to maximise the space but still have enough storage space?

- floorplan
- proposed kitchen. The area circled in one of the photos is a narrow cupboard. There will be cupboards above the fridge and a a small narrow cupboard to the side of it.
- existing kitcken
TIA!

2 years agoI would extend the narrow cupboard the full length to where the door opens. Can be used as a shallow pantry, or for anything really…? Are you making the entrance at the kitchen end of room, where existing hot plate is, a larger opening?? Have you got an actual floor plan of proposed plan with the measurements. Your graphic posted is not the best for actual dimensions of the proposed changes for us to comment on.

Help! Not sure about house room layout, especially location of kitchen
Comments (17)Thank you everyone for your comments. We live outside Christchurch, and the house was badly damaged in the quakes here. The post-quake rebuild process could safely be described as slightly chaotic, and the house company I am using are located some distance away (like on the North Island), which is why discussion with the architect has been - em - less than optimal. The architect threw something at me to get me out of my comfort zone I think and this is what's freaking me out! I think the windows on the east side are to come (no reason for them not being there), and probably a skylight in the kitchen roof. The section of land is narrow and steep, (this is a historic port town and with access from the south (where the view is); there is no parking other than on the street (south). Patricia - the laundry doesn't sit right with me either! Looks a bit like it's been glued on the side of the hosue. And it is too small as it is to store coats, shoes etc. This is the access to the back garden - thus the door (also means muddy boots can be dumped when we come in!). Entering a house through a living room is very common over here, especially where space is at a premium (small section, small house footprint)....See MoreBest bathroom layout for my first house?

Comments (14)We have a 900x900 shower and it's plenty big enough. Neither of your proposed layouts looks that great, to be perfectly honest, sorry! In the first layout, you could improve it quite a lot by swapping the toilet and vanity (centre the toilet under the window on the bottom right of the picture if possible), and having the shower door on the other wall (beside the door). Then, you could have a towel rail on the wall beside the door (i.e. behind the door when it's open), which would be accessible from the shower but hidden when the door was open. An 800x1200 shower might be a good size for your space. You'd have to choose a toilet that doesn't protrude too far, plus a narrow vanity. With that layout, you could have a long but narrow wall-hung vanity, with a big mirror covering the wall between the windows, which would make the room feel bigger and would give a good amount of storage.

Comments (2)Hi, apologies in advance for the shoddy drawing, I haven't got the mad skills to do it beautifully on the tablet. The big built in is what I wish to keep, I think I can live with moving the smaller one next to the tiny wood stove and moving that stove too. Thank you!!...See More
