Looks good! I would add a nice chandelier above island or any type of hanging light & also i can't tell what the chairs will look like in person but maybe try a more bar stole look, something with less of a back on it.

Can you get rid of some of the cabinet doors and do more drawers on the lowers? I would also get rid of the pullout by the wine fridge and get wider drawers in those lower cabinets (that I would make into drawers!).

Hi Ginger, what a lovely view into your garden! - totally agree with to get those yellow curtains out asap...well when it comes to those good old shutter straps (yeah so German!) and how to make them disappear there are mainly two solutions to go: motorist them or take them off. Hiding them with a moulding might admit another solution - but possibly not the most nice looking result I guess... Looking forward to get some extra information on your kids room project...I suggest none of the pro's at Houzz Germany Community will be miserly with a give away ;-) Cheerio & Bests JS

Hi Nicola, thank you so so much. Its just so nice. So pretty. The good thing is its not a mind bender. I was already thinking something on the lines. But the elements had to fit together. And now it looks they do. What I had not thought at all is the upholstery thing. It’s so nice. Even if I cannot do uphostry , I have gotten the idea now. I would somehow make the back of shelves and the heastbound side of bed same or coordinated, in order to make it kind of cozy niche corner as you have nicely put it. For shelves I was thinking to use a single piece or may a two pieces of 4x4 shelves like IKEA Kalax to creat a kind of partition of about 120 cm As I said I was thinking of similar things but as it comes from an expert I feel very happy. One more thing. For the colors would you recommend the ones I see already in the Sketsch??? Secondly, for the floor in the second / Upper room i was thinking of using small rugs in different colors witha kind of collage ( the pupose being easy maintainece, as a bigger carpet has to be send for professional carpet cleaners or need carpet cleaning machine). Small rugs if one is spoiled is easier to replace , which not easy in case of a bigger one that is wall to wall and heavy. Small rugs are easy to clean an rearrange. Of course under that I can add a light floor matt under these rugs to hold them together.( In both cases what colors , should be good. I mean if I add one piece carpet that would be almost half of the room, which colors should I take) or do you think it will make the rather smaller place look too busy and I should go for a full size carpet? What do you say about that. Thank you so much for your lovely idea and the inpus; in terms of actual work / sketch and your time. Best of regards

Hey Alice, Yes I know, it's so hard to pick one as there are so many beautiful ones! Yes, I would definitely choose one that's shorter than the sideboard! You could go for something white and simple or something made out of the same wood as the table legs or something that matches the metallic thingy over the desk. I think I would choose a simply white one or a metallic one. Or you could also just put a picture ledge there and then put the artwork on it and maybe a nice candle or a small plant. Depending on the shelf and the size of the artwork, I would put the artwork on it :) Also you shouldn't hang it too high, it shouldn't lose look disconnected from the sideboard. I would say about as high as the grid over the desk but it also depends on the shelf. But I guess you will see it when you chose one! :) I added a few examples but of course those are my taste but I hope you'll find something you like! golden shelf - Urban Outfitters (maybe you can find something with only two boards) Round metallic shelf - Lionshome Picture ledge - IKEA

Kitchen/dining room wall
Q
Kommentare (5)
Hello! I would definitely recommend to take out the wall. Your room will feel so much more spacious and bright because you'll also get the light from the window when you sit at the dining table. Kitchen island is a perfect idea – it creates a lot of extra storage and is ideal for a communicative kitchen/dining situation (no divider between kitchen and dining area). With various shelves and built-in cabinets you can create even more storage room. Living in a space before making any changes is a wise decision – as long as it comes to furniture. When it's about taking out a wall you'll probably never do that later on ;) Happy to discuss if you need more inspiration / ideas – Just book a time that suits you. Cheers Anna

Where are the drawers?

I would change all the standard lower cabinets to drawers. You might want to read the many posts about why most people prefer drawers.

I don't like the trash placed to the left of the dishwasher. How do you take a dirty dish, scrape stuff into trash, rinse dish and place in dishwasher. An open dishwasher would be in the way to reach the trash.

Ditto the drawers. The kitchen in this house does not have exceptionally high end finishes, but it does have drawers...all the lowers are drawers. Love them. My cookware, baking pans, mixing and serving bowls, small appliances, paper goods etc....all in drawers. I haven't gotten down on my knees to reach to the back of a cupboard in years.

If you can adjust the window to the left, without adversely affecting the appearance of the exterior, I'd suggest moving it 9-12", and then putting the DW on the right side of the sink. While you are prepping and cooking, a helper can load or unload the DW without interfering with your tasks. I also agree that the trash should be beside the sink, which will be easy, on the left, if the DW is on the right. NKBA recommends 21" between a DW and perpendicular run of cabinets, but you can get by with fewer inches. The narrow cabinet can house cutting boards and sheet pans.

Another vote for drawers: GW discussions--all drawer bases

I was going to suggest all drawers and the layout that mama came up with.

I agree about moving the DW to the other side of the sink. We currently have our DW between the sink and range, and I can't stand it. I can't wait to move it during our reno!

Thanks everyone for the input!

Mama goose, if I do that, what should we do with the upper cabinet on right of sink? It will need to go from 30 inch to 39 or 42... is that too big?

It sounds like going all drawers is popular. Can even larger/heavy items (like KitchenAid mixer go in a drawer?

If you move the window over 6", you'll have 18" in which to stand to unload the DW. If that will be comfortable (I have 13" or so, and it works for us), then the upper becomes 36", and you can use a 6" base pull-out. Rev-A-Shelf

MamaGoose has very good suggestions.

The 6" filler pullout that she linked to will give you more usable storage space than a 6" base cabinet. Filler pullouts are just the pullout hardware and sized to utilize the entire space without taking space away for cabinet walls. The pullout attaches to the cabinets on either side of the space.

In our old Kitchen, we only had the 12" b/w the DW and the corner susan and it was plenty of space for standing there while unloading the DW. However, many people find it too small, so it will depend on you and your family. The NKBA does recommend at least 21" so if you or your family are large or just need more space to move around, then think about more than 12".

Would change lower cabs to drawers. I don't rinse dishes before they go in DW, so trash-sink-DW location would not bother me. I'd put a KitchenAid mixer in an upper cab, in order to gain more drawers.

Looks good, except for lower cabs not being drawers.

KA mixer in an upper cabinet? I don't know about you, but mine is much too heavy to be an upper cabinet! You really shouldn't put heavy items in an upper cabinet -- if they slip out of your hands, it can be dangerous if they fall on you.

I would do one of the following:
- Leave it on the counter (maybe get a cover for it when it's not in use to "hide" it and keep dust out)
- Store it inside an appliance garage
- Store it on a pantry shelf about waist-high.
- You could also have one 18" base cabinet with a mixer lift in it. It'll take up most of the cabinet, but if you don't like it on the counter and don't want it in a pantry or similar, then that may be your best bet.
.

The sink-DW-trash location has nothing to do with whether you rinse your dishes, it has to do with being in the way of someone trying to prep. If you're prepping on top of a DW, no one else can get to the DW to load/unload or add something/take something out. It's also not pleasant prepping over a running DW (heat and steam).

Unless....are you referring to scraping and then loading the DW? If so, then I understand what you're saying with regards to DW & sink (no need for the sink).

The trash, though, is best located in the Prep Zone since most trash/recyclables are generated during prepping and cooking. Ideally, it should be in the Prep Zone but near the Cooking & Cleanup Zones. If you put the DW on the non-range side and the trash pullout next to the sink b/w the range and sink, then you've accomplished the ideal!

You're probably already convinced about the drawers, but I'll add my vote anyway.

I had 2 angled upper cabinets in my old kitchen, and I despised them. Lots of space - but difficult to access, and since I'm only 5'4", I couldn't reach past the front of the second shelf. When we tore out the kitchen, I found a ton of stuff in those cabinets that I didn't even know I had, because I hadn't seen it since I stuffed it in there.

Now I have 2 easy-reach uppers, which I adore. I can see everything, and I can reach to the third shelf (the rest I can easily reach with a stool, compared to dragging a chair or climbing on the counter).

Have you considered putting a prep sink on the island?

Now is also the time to plan out where things will go in the new kitchen: pots and pans, bakeware, potholders, spices - the more thorough you are in this stage, the more efficient your kitchen will be, because you can plan storage to meet your specific needs (which may not be the same as mine).

Another vote for drawers. I did put one base cabinet to hold my KitchenAid mixer. I don't use it very frequently so I didn't put in a lift, I just exercise my leg muscles while lifting it up. :)

I'd also recommend not putting the drink fridge directly across from range. Could you flip it around to open on the end of the island, so people could get into it without being in the cook's way?

I will admit to not reading through so I apologize if I am repetitive.... since you are building new you can layout out the kitchen and relocate windows according to plan. The most valuable piece of countertop in the kitchen is your sink to stove top... make it fit the kind of cooking you do - minimum of 3ft up to around 5ft. SO move the sink accordingly. I also recommend using a hood wider than the stove and leave space on each side instead of touching the cabinets. I would also reposition the bev ref. It is right across from the stove - this will be an inconvenience when you are standing there cooking and have a lot of people over trying to get in and out. I would turn it out so it faces the other room. Also, please no garbage next to the stove.... when the oven is going you will get hot trash! Also the dishwasher should not be in your prep space, it should be on the opposite side of the sink.

Also make sure of your walkways.... you should have a minimum of 42" in front of the ref ( not the counter next to it ) and 45 + in front of the stove for ease of opening the oven. Your island looks to be just shy of 96". If you truly want to seat 4 comfortably, I would add 6 - 9" to that ( ideally 12 if you can go that far )...

It looks like it is going to be a great space!

Good luck!
