Hello,
we are planning to build a house, and I am one of those who plans every detail in advance to avoid any unpleasant surprises later on. However, since it’s impossible to think of everything, I would appreciate your feedback and opinions on our kitchen layout. The background is that we already own an IKEA kitchen, and we want to integrate it as completely as possible and expand it with additional cabinets.
A brief explanation of where everything is located, as I believe it’s not entirely clear and partially inaccurate in the 3D view:
Wall line from left to right:
- Refrigerator with freezer compartment underneath
- Base cabinet for pots, pans, and other cooking essentials
- Cooktop with oven below and integrated range hood above
- Base cabinet for cooking utensils like spoons, etc.
- Sink, possibly with a drainer cabinet above or a regular cabinet
- Sink with drawer for sponge, cleaning supplies, and a drawer with bins for waste sorting
- Dishwasher
The kitchen island is mainly used for cutting, mixing, and preparing food, and includes several integrated power outlets. The cabinets store plates, dishes, bread, cereal, cups, cutlery — everything needed for any meal. On the front side, there is an extension with two power outlets for charging phones and for a raclette grill.

Oraclefile17 Aug 2020 11:10I couldn't convince my wife to place the stove or sink on the kitchen island. However, I find the oven at shoulder height very practical and have now come up with the following concept. A full wall with countertop, a narrow kitchen island 90cm (35 inches) deep, and the distance between the two work surfaces is 120cm (47 inches), as in the previous design. I’ve now drawn the table in its regular size. Previously, it included both extension leaves. The garden doors are each 110cm (43 inches) wide.
The disadvantage is that the raclette cable is in the way again, and I almost feel it’s too open once more.

The refrigerator and oven are placed too far apart. There is no convenient counter space nearby for placing items.
Are the patio doors at the top of the plan? If so, I don’t find the flow from the bottom middle of the plan towards both the sofa and the kitchen very good.
What changes are possible to the floor plan? And where exactly do the doors at the bottom of the plan lead?
The following still applies:

I would say ... the overall coherence of the room layout is missing.
I already find the room width quite challenging.
3.81 meters (12.5 feet) minus plaster is about 3.75 meters (12.3 feet)... people do like it cozy when watching TV, and a kitchen run of 3.70 meters (12.1 feet) is not too small, but this room length combined with a walk-through room used as a storage area (for technical equipment and so on) is far from ideal.
Wouldn't the house possibly allow for an L-shape layout for the living area? That way, you wouldn't feel like everything is too open.

Oraclefile18 Aug 2020 09:46Unfortunately, this is a promotional house, which we otherwise like very much. However, we have very high requirements for the other rooms and their number, which is why this living room resulted. The doors can still be changed. The doors at the top of the plan lead to the garden (south), the left door at the bottom of the plan leads to the home theater room, and the right door leads to the hallway.
