Awkward Blind Corner in Kitchen--Cabinet Solution?
Comments (16)Thanks, lefty47. This is an older home, and just as One Plan guessed it is a soil stack from the upstairs bathroom. You are probably right that the cost of a custom solution may outweigh the benefits. Another idea I had, along the lines of the worktop bin suggested by One Plan, is a recessed spatula and long-handled utensil holder. I found out that Lee Valley sells motorized tv lift kits like the one used in the video above. It would be a matter of getting the contractor to build the box to go on the lift. I'm still a bit hung up on the idea, though it probably falls into your cost-outweighs-benefit category! I may bring this photo around with me when interviewing prospective contractors, just to see how they answer!...See MoreNeed help to determine where to place my inbuilt oven
Comments (14)Hi Fred, Thanks for the want of the precise measurements. The U shape area in my kitchen is 64" - 104 - 99" (left - centre - right). Height of the kitchen area is 107". The wall with the fridge has total length of 99" Fridge is 32" wide, 29" deep, 73" high (I bought this fridge on a good bargain but realized it was slightly oversized in this kitchen area, but got to live with it now) The wall beside the fridge is 23" deep I know some gap has to be left between this wall, the fridge and the wall mounted/countertop cabinets for ventilation I guess. So I'd say the cabinets on this wall will have a length of only 63"/64"? The microwave is 18.5 wide, 13" deep, 10.5" high The oven is 24" wide, 24" deep, 24" high. The wall next to the fridge which will have this feature cabinet 42" wide, 110" high which is next to the main door. I'm thinking the feature wall is kind of plain, but it covers up where the fridge is sticking out....See MoreLiving Area Layout - Dilemma
Comments (8)Hi Dagobert Duck (interesting name), I am assuming that this is a townhouse in Asia, as you mention the dry kitchen and wet kitchen (terms used mostly in Singapore) and also from the visible lift on the plan that you shared. I would definitly advice you to keep the dry kitchen and place the dining table close to the dry kitchen or close to the bay window on the left. The space here is rather large and can easily accommodate a regular 2 metre table with 8 chairs. If you are concerned about the view of dining table as you enter the house, you could always place a round table near the entrance to block off the view. I agree with Elaine about placing the furniture away from walls. Place a bunch of fresh flowers or art/sculpture above the round table like in a hotel entrance. So the the first view you see when you enter the house is the table with flowers. Its difficult to give you any further advice as we have no idea what your final vision of the place is? Feel free to contact us in Singapore if you need further advice? Hope you will have the home of your dreams soon....See Moresuggestions needed for broken U kitchen
Comments (1)If u have the budget, I would suggest moving the store to the back and have the room next to the toilet, and even making it ensuite so that it is more suitable for elderly/guest use. Having the store at the back of the house will enlarge your storage for food items and even possibility of placing the fridge inside the store. The distance between the two walls is too great to form a good working triangle. I would suggest a n-shape kitchen instead. Cut short the current L-shape and make it into n-shape. U can even have a bar counter adjoining the kitchen counter with the space saved. U can then place the fridge and the pullout pantry in the middle, the hob near to the rear of the house and the sink facing the dining. For more countertop space, consider a flip up table from the kitchen cabinet next to the door accessing the laundry....See Morecookingrvc

3 years agoThe architect pushed back hard saying theres no problem.
I refused to only put 1 1/2” between the fridge and oven. I put 3” between them an the architect added a stainless steel strip glued to the filler to make it look like 1 1/2” filler. The 3” worked with out doors hitting oven 1 1/2” would have been a problem.glad I stood my ground. Zoom in on picture the strip either side of the fridge is an applied strip of stainless steel .
