Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 May 24, 2009 2:43 pm I have been reading these forums for a little while now and seeing the large space the majority of people have for their kitchens makes me incredibly envious! I live in a small apartment which has an outdated kitchen. As part of a number of renovation I'm looking to improve the kitchen. Some of the issues with the current kitchen are lack of cupboard space and lack of bench top space. Please refer to the pics below: Kitchen01.jpg Kitchen02.jpg Kitchen03.jpg There is currently an area of space under the stair case that is a bit of a dead space. At the moment we have a buffet unit there but this can be moved. I'm wondering if this area can somehow be utilised to make the kitchen a little bigger? Any suggestions appreciated.

Run it along the wall where the fridge/stove is and then continuing along the wall incorporating all the space under the stairs. You can also put more cupboards/bench space on the wall opposite to where the staircase is. A quick play with the software that you have might give you an idea of how much more space that would give you. Keep us updated on how you go!! Re: Kitchen suggestions please 3May 24, 2009 5:46 pm I've taken a bit of poetic license with the actual space available, as it's a bit hard to tell from those pics (in particular, how big is the space under the stairs and how long is the wall to the right of the sink. Anyway, I played around with a space of 3.2m x 2.4 Not an ideal layout but might get your imaginative juices flowing (Sink could either go on the cabinets on the short wall or next to the fridge) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Hi, Looking to add an ensuite to one of the bedrooms and make it a Master BR.
