Kitchen layout ideas
Hi Houzz community!
I'm looking for a bit of inspiration. I've recently moved into a new house which me and my family love. We've been busy decorating and settling in.
The one thing we can't figure out a way forward with is the kitchen.
Before moving in, we had ideas about opening up parts of the downstairs and having more of an open plan. But, having lived here for 6 months now, we've enjoyed having closed off spaces, particularly with having two little toddlers. Sometimes it's nice to enclose them!
That said, we aren't happy with the kitchen layout at all. It's fairly narrow but the biggest problem is the lack of a run of wall units/worktop. As you can see from the pics, there are 3 doors to this kitchen. There's a boiler in the corner (bottom left on the hand drawn plan). There's been an extension built at some point and so the frame is there, down as dotted lines on my sketch.
The sink feels like it's too far into a corner, and since the cooker and fridge are over there as well, we spend 90% of our time in one small corner of the kitchen.
We had a load of ideas all linked in with opening up the floorplan but no longer want to do that. But we are open to the idea of getting rid of the little downstairs loo that's down on the right hand side on my sketch. That has a tiny hallway and a door through to the lounge, which really doesn't need it. So we would be up for knocking that all down and filling that door to the lounge in.
What we're looking for is a more functional space that works for a young family and will see us through a lot more years, as we're planning on staying in this house "forever".
P.S. excuse the mess and laundry!! We had just moved in when I took the photos and still in a bit of a mess!

Commentaires (5)Bonjour! Is your ceiling unique to the kitchen or continues for another room? You can use the ceiling to add color If just the kitchen. A medium intensity color would warm up the space without making somber. You can also choose a wall as an accent, keeping the rest very pale. Tones of yellow would be nice. See the Benjamin color trends for 2016. A lot of whites accentuated with colors. One room has yellow, but you don't have to go so intense. Also see on houzz "clored" ceilings. You can also use our window frames to add contrast painting them a darker shade of gray or charcoal. It gives character, definition and class Sorry i dont have photos to demontrate at the moment (problem with iphone:( but you can always find on houzz) :) Hope this helps!...

Normally upper cabinets can be about 48cm above countertop, but since it looks better to have them on the same height as the built-in hood, you'll need 60cm. But if you're 1.60m you could consider a free hanging hood and some upper cabinets next to it, otherwise all uppers would be too high for you and you'd only use the lower shelf. And even better: Buy an oven with microwave function! (already posted that I think) Oven with microwave is different than microwave with grill. I even have a 12 year old tiny Panasonic combi that makes perfect bread and pizza!... Voir plusCuisine 11 m2 avec ilot ?
