Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Help/suggestions with kitchen layout please 2May 04, 2019 7:02 pm Imo I like the original kitchen layout. I love big kitchens. Especially with a clear island bench. The extra bit of bench beside the fridge would be a great dumping ground for keys, bags and crap. You could eliminate or half the bench in the pantry. I have a couple of concerns on three other aspects though.

I would also change the w.c. door to a cavity slider and I would put a cavity slider on the ensuite toilet. But that's just my opinion. ![]() Re: Help/suggestions with kitchen layout please 3May 04, 2019 7:04 pm Oh one last thing.
