Almost finished with the slab size is 30”x65 and have it planned for a kitchen island but given the level of piece this is not sure what style would go best that wouldn’t bring down or get complete overpowered by the slab

Currently ordering my modular home, so I can’t sample anything before, and my options are limited. I can’t decide if I want to go with the classic white which will brighten the room, especially considering there’s no windows although some light from south facing windows in the living room might shine through. The green is just gorgeous, but I worry about decorating and clashing colors as well as or seeming too dark for the space.

Priorities are an island, good workflow, good storage for food and enough worktop space for appliances for our family of four. There is one meter of clearance around the island.

The extractor is on an external wall. The kitchen side of the island is two 600mm 3x pan draws and a 450mm integrated bin.

Ovens/combi microwave will have slide away doors.

Blind tall cabinet corner on the left, and pull out corner shelving in the low cabinet on the right.

Dishwasher is on the right of the sink.

Two integrated 600mm fridge freezers on the wall on the left with a 600mm half shelving half pullout drawer larder unit on the right.

All cabinets will be taken to the ceiling if possible when fitting.

Did the washer get put in later & the fridge got moved? I have no idea why the fridge is where it is because it's NOT functioning. Please provide helpful suggestions of a new, better layout for me if you enjoy solving problems & would like to help me solve mine!

1955 house that we are restoring & preserving & making more functional for our family.

Which one looks best? Any other ideas welcome!

The flooring will be changed too, haven't started thinking about it yet, but probably tiles. And the right-side peninsula will be a bit shorter than on the photo.

I’m happy I’ve incorporated lots of half depth pantry storage in the left which allows the island to remain a decent size with 1m clearance around it.

The integrated fridge and integrated freezer left of the oven means all the food storage is together and easier for unloading. There is a bin in the island near the fridge for food packaging etc. I decided against American fridges as I don’t like the way they stick out so much and that would not work in the corner at all. I also like that there is a walkway infront of the fridge for regular access. I don’t like that we won’t be able to have a plumbed ice/water dispenser on it though. Why don’t they make more 600mm deep American fridge options?

The oven had a landing zone to the right and behind on the island. And will be Neff slide away doors.

The hob will be induction and double up as a flat surface as needed when not in use but I would like more space either side of it was possible; but I can’t see how unless we went to a single fridge/freezer which is too small for our family of 4.

I’ve gone with wide drawers in the island and more below the hob worktop.

The dishwasher is near the sink and areas for crockery/cutlery storage.

This sink just seems to work under the window well; and there is a second bin to the right of the sink

I don’t especially want wall cabinets, but it makes sence to have at least one for classes and mugs for hot drinks from the integrated instant boil tap at the sink.

I’m not sure about the pantry unit on the right and may swap that for a wall cupboard or remover completely. I did consider putting an American fridge there between the windows and patio doors, but it’s a long way from the opposite wall pantry and is then snack in your eye-line as you walk in the door

The island ends up 1900 wide and 1200 deep including the 300mm seating overhang.

I’m just not sure where it can be improved. Seems like plenty of storage. I’ll probably remove the blind corner units and just block them off.

Just wish I could make more space for the hob and narrow up the oven/fridge bank somehow without compromising space for the island.

Any thoughts or obvious errors?

We’re working with a local contractor to have the kitchen redone with new doors, drawer fronts, hardware, panels, and wrapping everything else. We’re keeping the subway tile backsplash and countertops, so it’ll basically be the same footprint, just a totally new look.

We’re really struggling with colour options though, any suggestions?

This house is getting completely remodeled. How would you design a kitchen into this space? The black square in the middle is a column that can be moved on a vertical line in the direction towards the fireplace, but it's been driving me crazy trying to figure out how to design around it. It can't be further than 18ft from either the firplace wall or the garage/kitchen wall, which it's set at 18ft from the firplace wall currently on this floor plan.

The window to the right of the garage is the original kitchen window. The other unlabeled windows to the right are 2' 11.5" from the ground, so flush with counter height if you go that route.

I've tried breakfast nooks, big islands, small islands, L's, U's, etc and I just can't ever quite figure out where to place a pantry, fridge, sink, stove/oven, and dishwasher and still fit nicely with that column there.

The scale at the bottom is 26in wide so there's a visual reference for standard countertop depth.

Next step will be enlisting professional help. I was just hoping to get a better idea of what I wanted before I take it to a designer. Ideally I'd have an island and an open space for seating and entertaining.

I am trying to decide whether extending my kitchen beyond L Shape is worth the extra cost. I will be having my partner move in so there is pro of having more counter space and storage. However, its an extra 1.3k in terms of the units and installation. Could there be cheaper alternatives to gets counter space and storage while having the L Shape??

My wife is concerned that the cooktop and hood does not line up with the sink and fireplace. I think the cook top and hood looks balanced on that wall. Any thoughts?
