Can anyone recommend a floor tile for this powder room? It’s 60” wide and 57” long if that matters. It’s a 1930s colonial and we’d like to keep it somewhat traditional, just updated. Any other recommendations are welcome too. The colors will probably be Chantilly Lace walls and Smoky Green bead board. Thank you!
I’m looking for some layout advice before we finalize our kitchen renovation plans. I’ll attach the floor plan (the grid lines are 1-foot increments for scale) and pictures of our current kitchen. We are removing a long wall to make more space and the final layout will probably be an L-shape (11ft and 12ft legs).
We’re trying to maximize function rather than strictly follow the current plan, so I’m open to completely rearranging the kitchen if there’s a better solution.
A couple of notes about the floor plan:
The rectangles surrounding the bay window are existing built-ins that we’d really like to keep intact if possible.
The only remaining window will be 6ft wide and will face west.
Our ideal appliances are:
36” refrigerator
24” dishwasher
30” induction cooktop
30” double wall oven (ideally with a speed oven on top and a full-size oven below)
The question I’m struggling with is whether the separate cooktop + double wall ovens are worth the space, or if I should instead use a 30” induction range to free up cabinetry and improve the layout.
I’m also wondering about the island. The current design is a 5’ × 5’ square island, but we eat probably 90% of our meals there rather than at the dining table. Would a longer, narrower island make more sense? If so, what dimensions would you recommend (for example, 4’ × 7’ or 4’ × 8’)?
The only layout requirements are:
Sink under the window (preferred).
Dishwasher adjacent to the sink.
Trash pull-out next to the sink, in a way that doesn’t get blocked when the dishwasher door is open.
Keep the existing built-ins around the bay window if possible.
Everything else is flexible.
A few questions:
How would you arrange these appliances for the most functional workflow?
Would you buy wall ovens or switch to a 30” induction range?
Would you change the island size or shape?
Do you see any obvious improvements that would make the kitchen feel larger or function better?
I’d love to hear how you would design this if it were your kitchen. Thanks in advance for any ideas!
