Will soon be extending cassa de MightyG and as part of the extension we are knocking together our small kitchen and dining room to make a slightly larger kitchen but me and the misses are struggling to agree on a layout for the kitchen and wondering if anyone has some ideas we can steal?
This is the room we are dealing with:
Top left blue box is patio doors out onto our decking, top right blue box is a window overlooking the back garden and the sink is currently just infront of the window. Far right is a door into the utility room. Bottom right is the door into the new extension which will be our living room/dining room. Bottom left is a small boxed in something - either sewage water pipe or a beam (should be 100x100!)
We are maybe trying to cram too much in but we are trying to get:
1. Full size dishwasher - we currently only have a half size and its no where near big enough.
2. American style fridge freezer - we could live with a standard size one but we would loooove to have a water/ice dispenser in the kitchen.
3. Small seating area for breakfast for 2-3 people - nothing massive, but big enough for a plate of toast and a few bowls of cereal
4. Eye level oven - maybe even a double oven/grill
Any ideas for a layout? We are pretty set on the style/colours we want to use but cant figure out how to get everything that we want into the room without making it feel cramped..
At the moment we have:
And it feels like we have zero worktop/storage space for pots/pans and so on. The worktop above the dishwasher (DW) is for the kettle/toaster (which barely fit as it is) and the left of the cooker is knives/utensils etc. so we can only really use the space to the right of the cooker.
By expanding into the dining room we are trying to squeeze in some larger appliances and getting some better worktop space.
Any ideas on how to make it all work?
