Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 May 25, 2009 2:35 pm Hi everyone, I have attached the standard basic kitchen plan for the home we are building. We like that the kitchen is tucked into this area adjacent to the main living areas, but not right in the middle of it all, but it means that the area we have to work with is quite restricted. We are considering whether to have a WIP with a door where the current pantry is and build the WIP behind the existing back wall of the kitchen - does that make sense? I am also trying to work out if there is anyway to better configure this space to get the sink off the front bench, whether to make the front bench an island or whether to leave joined and move the sink on the bench up against the wall? - you may have guessed - I am trying to work out how to get more bench space... Any ideas, thoughts, suggestions would be much appreciated and welcomed! Please let me know if you have any questions...

If so, you could make the existing pantry a doorway and in the WIP ( if its big enough) you could also keep the fridge in there. That may give you some extra bench space in leiu of the existing fridge space. or the existing bench space you have along the wall... continue the bench around underneath the window and move the island bench to connect up to it.
