New kitchen design help needed
Page 1 of 1
1st one.
Could I ask why you chose design 1?
1st is definitely better IMO due to having the island with nothing on it
Thank you for your feedback. I like the idea of having no sink on island but it may compromise the functionality? It feels like there is some distance to walk between stove, sink and fridge?
So I found that the Island acts as the key area. So generally you would go from frudge to island. Island to sink. Island to cooktop.
I have never had a kitchen island. Do you think its ok then to put the sink at the servery window? Is there any other advice you could give in terms of placement of any of the other items such as bins, pantry, tall cupboards, overheads, open shelves. Etc. I am clueless 🙃🙃
The dishwasher and sink go at the window. We prefer drawers im our island. And vent the rangehood to outside
From right we had WIP, Fridge, Oven tower, bin drawer, dish washer, sink, cooktop at the other end. Being rught handed it made sense to us to hage DW to right hand side of sink.
Thank you. Your kitchen is amazing. Is it ok that we place our DW in the scullery?
I think between the two some of it comes down to what's important to you.
Number 1 has a bigger scullery, number 2 has a bigger laundry.
Personally I think number 2 with the sink at the window is best. The scullery is plenty big enough and you have more space in the laundry.
With number 2 is the fridge in the scullery? Looks like you have two of them.
You need a bin in the main kitchen and you will also need one close to the DW so you can clean scraps.
If you put the DW in the scullery you will have lots of walking to put away dishes but it will help keep the kitchen looking neater.
Personally I think it might be overkill unless you are a big family and do lots of cooking and entertaining.
We are a family of 5 and get by with one.
The DW ideally would be in the main kitchen so it's easy to put dishes away but the whole idea of a scullery is to have somewhere to put the dirty dishes and mess so it makes sense to put the DW in the scullery but try and get it as close as possible to the entry so you don't have to walk right into the scullery.
Definitely have two bins. Install double bins one behind the other so you maximise your cabinetry for storage.
Installing 2 DW is a bit of a trend at the moment

Thank you so much chippy I appreciate your advice.
