Hello,
with the existing floor plan, we have currently planned the following kitchen layout.
The total area of the kitchen with the dining corner is 21 sqm (226 sq ft), and the length of the room (wall with the kitchen units) is 440 cm (14 ft 5 inches).

A kitchen island is planned, but purely as a work surface (no stove), possibly with open cabinets underneath;
and optionally with a raised section at the end of the island so it can serve as a kind of bar.

Note: In the rendered image, the colors and designs (wall shelf, island, sink, etc.) are just examples (as rendered by Sweet3D), the main focus is on the arrangement and sequence of cabinets and appliances.

It might also be nice to have a (small) work surface in the window corner (facing southwest, evening sun).
Currently, the dishwasher is planned there, close to the sink, and the open door is hardly an issue (because it is along the wall).

Any ideas, comments, suggestions?

Good luck,
martin

I would reconsider placing the dishwasher against the wall, as the wall tends to get dirty very quickly, even if you are careful.

It is actually difficult to plan well with such partial excerpts. Incomplete information is always a drawback. Only one dining area? Floor-to-ceiling window on the right side of the plan .. Access to the terrace? Who cooks? etc. That’s why there are checklists available when you try planning elsewhere on the large internet 😉

You can continue working on the designs in Sweethome. The placeholder 3D models are simply too imprecise, and when planning a kitchen, you really need accuracy down to the centimeter (inch).

Just a tip: you can place the microwave above the oven in a separate wall cabinet with a lift-up hinge. This cabinet will have no back panel, allowing you to position the power outlets for the microwave and oven behind it, which makes them easily accessible.

I would fully occupy the wall next to the toilet with tall cabinets. This makes the kitchen layout much more relaxed.

If necessary, the island can be shortened to 180cm (6 feet), but I don't think that will even be needed.

This creates a U-shaped layout in a kitchen of over 20 sqm (about 215 sq ft), resulting in the feel of a kitchen that is only around 11 to 12 sqm (about 118 to 129 sq ft).

The position of the small window is not ideal. The refrigerator could have been placed in a better location.

I assume that the house planning itself is already finalized.
