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

Then you have corner cabinets at the top (and bottom), and we find that there is a lot of "dead" space because it’s hard to access the corners.For that, there are LeMans pull-outs at the bottom… you can load the furthest corner and reach it easily.darksun schrieb:
> "I would think twice about placing the dishwasher against the wall; the wall tends to get dirty quickly, even if you’re careful."No, that won’t happen. First, you can paint the wall with a durable protective coating. Second, you can train yourself not to just put things in without emptying them first. Nothing has spilled in our kitchen for 10 years, just discipline.Visitors need to be slim to sit in the "back rows of chairs."
But you can try at home now to see how much tightness works for you.
You always have to walk to the very far corner to reach the fridge; it would be better placed on the right side of the kitchen run. However, if it’s just two of you, that’s not so important. Still, you should try living and working with a 1m (39 inches) aisle width now.
Drawers extend 45cm (18 inches) into the room, a fridge door 60cm (24 inches). Imagine opening the oven door (built into a tall cabinet with the microwave above) to take something out—whether there’s enough space for you. The oven door extends 45cm (18 inches) into the room.

The first picture looks like a mismatched kitchen from great-grandma’s era. 🙄I was more thinking of a mismatched shared apartment kitchen. darksun schrieb:

The way you have it now, you’re actually wasting much more useful space?!So, this is how I would do it. I don’t see a breakfast bar, especially since the dining area is right nearby, and basically there’s no room for it anyway. The layout should be decided by the original poster.
However, I would change the hinge side of the patio door. I’ve set the island at 140cm x 80cm (55 x 31½ inches), but personally I would go for 160cm (63 inches) wide. The dining table is 165cm x 80cm (65 x 31½ inches)… not ideal, but there’s no way around it. The space doesn’t allow more. I could also imagine a round table.
(I don’t think the original poster will be impressed by around 60 years of estimated planning and design experience here 😉)

You keep walking and walking... The table could be a bit larger, but otherwise nothing improves. The extractor hood hangs in front of the window.
