cabinet height?

7 years ago

All very lovely! It looks like cabinets are higher than standard and trying to convince our kitchen designer that I prefer this. Are these standard height or between counter and bar height? Thanks for input

Hello, thank you for your inquiry. I am not entirely sure that I understand your question but the counter height is set at 37". The "standard" counter height is typically 36" but with taller homeowners, I find 37" (just 1 extra inch higher) to be a bit more comfortable.

Hi again. I see where Dytecture is going with this. It's hard to say, really, because the only existing colour you mentioned was white. Once you put something coloured or dark in the space, your eye will zoom past the white and look at the colour or the visual weight of the piece. When I was recommending something white or colourless (glass and metal), I had in mind that you probably don't want to make the desk your only feature. I would recommend having your desk as a functional piece that blends with the decor, but I would definitely add punches of colour elsewhere. Large colourful artworks on the walls, a couple of bold colour-blocked cushions on the sofa (see Dytecture's first picture above), a grouping of three very tall boldly coloured vases (different heights), and so on. These will give you the pizzazz you're looking for. In an otherwise white apartment, a dark or coloured desk is still not going to give you much style or impact.

Contemporary, since the furniture is such. Colours which ever go with the present furniture, orange and white sofa and same shade of orange is there for the kitchen cabinets (open kitchen)

Boy, it sure looks like the refrigerator doors open on the wrong side--can you get the developer to swap it out or change the door swing?--must be a mistake. I would find that really annoying, especially in such a small workspace. I really see a movable island parallel to the cabinets in this space with storage underneath and maybe a hanging pot rack with lights and maybe some shelving above, possibly with some stools for casual dining. Do you have room for something like that? A freestanding stainless metal full- or counter-height shelf on casters adjacent to the sink could be really helpful. You could put some simple white dishpans or bins on it as a temporary holding place for dirty dishes while you are cooking, and use the rest for overflow for big pots or pantry items. The L counter with the curved sink might be a little awkward, but sure beats not having some usable counter space. If that is all you are adding, then perhaps a cart with a shelf that flips up for extra prep or dining space would work for you. I would pay the money to get decent lighting. I think I see a thin range hood over the cooktop. If this is European, there should be wiring and a plug for the range hood, so I wouldn't think it would be too expensive to run some wire for lights Doesn't the range hood already have lights. BTW?

Kitchen floors don't have slopes.. the are flat normally.... maybe the kitchen was originally an outside space or a bathroom and has been converted... nevertheless the worktop should be level and the baseboard scribed to match the slope of the floor leaving no gap

Could you look at the diagram layout of my home? I'm considering taking down the wall between the Living Room and Kitchen OR Family Room and Kitchen. We already have a peninsula on the Nook side that looks out to pool/yard. Hoping you can provide a small bit of advice. Thanks for your time.
