Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 Feb 23, 2013 6:30 pm I would like some feedback on having a dishwasher on an island bench. If you also have a walk in pantry where do you store your cutlery, plates, and cups? I am used to having storage fairly close to dishwasher. Re: Location of dishwasher 2Feb 23, 2013 7:21 pm I have mine in the space next to the sink. Everyone dumps their plates in the sink if the dw is on so it's easy to go from sink to dw. I have my cutlery and crockery drawers opposite sink so I swivel and put away, hardly move a muscle if I had a walk in pantry I would still do it the same way. Re: Location of dishwasher 3Feb 23, 2013 9:30 pm We haven't built our house yet but my fiancee has worked in the kitchen business for over a decade and kitchen design for the past 2. We will have a Walk in Pantry that is bigger than we know what to do with, lol, and our island bench is like this (if you're standing in the kitchen, looking outwards). On the far left are 4 x utensil drawers. Right next to it is the space for the dishwasher. We will then have the sink in the middle with cupboards underneath. I imagine we will have a pull out bin to the right of those undersink cupboards. Can't see any issues with the design yet. We're pretty excited, it's our first dishwasher Kristen & Stephen - Built the Eden Brae Drysdale 27 at Oran Park (We're in!!!)

If you had said the dishwasher was a distance away from the sink I'd be more worried A blog about our renovation http://notmynightmare.blogspot.com.au/ Re: Location of dishwasher 5Feb 24, 2013 6:57 pm we will have the dishwasher in the island bench along with the sink in the island bench will also be the pull out bin and also the rack for the tea towels opposite will be banks of pot drawers with the oven and cooktop also microwave which will have drawers as well then overhead cupboards this is the reason we decided to have the drawers in the walk in pantry as well I am installing a new Bosch SMU4HTS01A built under dushwasher.
