Advice for a functional kitchen/scullery

RobbieB94 · Jun 22, 2020 11:23 pm

Hey guys! This is my kitchen/scullery/wip layout. I'm thinking of changing the door from the wip in the kitchen and making it open access from inside the scullery and putting a door or something between the scullery and kitchen. Also thinking a door between the laundry too...

What are your thoughts?

Sculley would be used for big meal prep, appliances and mess/dishes but i want to hear your input as i want this as functional/practical as possible.

I prefer the L Shape but with some tweaks. Id move sink to under the window so the island is just an island. Id move the fridge to where the WIP is and centre the cooktop and add oven tower with 2 ovens (oven tower could go next to fridge where wip space is currently).

Id then make the scullery a massive pantry. Having a door is useful to hide mess, depending what spaces look directly in there.

Also, laundry looks massive. Id prefer linen to be WIL and closer to bathrooms...

Hi,
I would
1 Lose the pantry as it will drive you crazy going in and out to put stuff onto the scullery bench for prep. Push wir in the bed into pantry for larger bedroom and then use the other side/half of pantry as IT nook or similar.
2 Switch out the swinging door for internal cavity slider to give more opening space.
3 Move sink to under window
4 Wrap bench around wall of pantry/wir/nook to gain more bench.
5 Open shelves above and below bench for easier acces than cupboard
6 Put cavity slider to laundry to shut out noise and visual mess.
Just my 2 cents worth.

There are a few things i would consider changing.

1) The Walk In linen at the front of the house to be deleted as it seems there is ample storage throughout the house and extend the WC to make a powder room with vanity and mirror. Remove Bed2 Robe and put in onto the back of the Bath tub Wall as the room is long to make the hallway area better with the larger WC and you could also lengthen the drop off zone recess to make the living look bigger

2) The kitchen Island looks too small and looks too far away from cooktop bench. The gap between the 2 benchs should be 1000 to 1200mm max. I would also extend the benchtop towards the doors leaving only a 600mm gap from bench to glass t give you more bench space in the front kitchen as it seems too small

3) If you are not having a water point behind your fridge I would change swinging door to a cavity door as this door will always be open and will be more practical.

4) Cavity slider to the Theatre Room as well as your Ensuite entrance

5) Bathroom would be best to swing bath to vanity wall so the window can be widened and allow plenty of light and the vanity switched to back onto Bed2
