Hello everyone,
we are currently working on the kitchen planning for our new build (not yet started).
The kitchen has an area of 16.3 m² (175 sq ft) and is planned to be open to the living/dining room. Attached are the floor plan and a 3D model of the kitchen as we currently envision and have designed it.
The U-shape seems to be the most practical layout for us. However, when looking at the model, we wonder if the space in the middle (i.e., inside the U) could be used more efficiently. Perhaps we are also too focused on the U-shape.
Maybe some of you have similar floor plans and ideas on how to conceptually arrange the kitchen layout?
Since we are building without a basement, we will need enough storage space.
Best regards

I have mentioned this a few times already, but it fits perfectly here again, in my opinion:
Since I find islands are always in the way, we chose a countertop depth of 80cm (31.5 inches) all around to reduce the "dance floor" in the middle.
We are very happy with this. There is still plenty of workspace in front of various kitchen appliances, which greatly increases the effective usable length of the countertop.
Matching this, we have deep drawer cabinets. These are very practical, especially when it comes to storing large, round items. (And that should happen in kitchens, right! ;-)
The additional cost for both was "reasonable" with our kitchen manufacturer. So not double the price, but appropriate, about 20% more per cabinet and linear meter of countertop.That’s a really good idea, thanks for sharing! I can well imagine that we might take a similar approach.
What do you think about dead corners? In our current kitchen, we have a corner carousel, and we find it somewhat just okay. We could imagine that a deep base cabinet here could be at least an equally good solution for a significantly lower price.
Regarding Blum:
Are these Blum drawer systems available from every kitchen manufacturer (Nobilia, Alno, etc.) or only specific ones?
Since we don’t have a basement, storage is obviously a concern for us. We were thinking about the Blum Space Tower for this. Does anyone have experience or insights on that?

No, seriously. The space gain is somewhere around 20 - 25% compared to corner pull-out cabinets. Considering the cost, neither a carousel nor Le Mans mechanisms are really worth it.
