• Don't love the sink in the corner but needs must - don't want it too close to the hob?

    I don't really want a full height wall either, surely it just makes it feel cramped/looming?

    Plan attached. Can't do a horse shoe because doors at both ends and low window.

    Looking at it top down I'm going to build a built-in table thing with a bench against the top wall where the old fireplace used to be (long since covered up). Planning to bring a new fridge into the alcove on the top left (currently the fridge is outside in the hallway - far from ideal).

    Get a matching cupboard to fit around the eye line mounted boiler which is currently boxed in all the way to the floor. Use the space under as a tall cleaning space (brooms/hoover/mop etc - currently it's just shitty shelves filled with arts and craft tat).

    Then a low bench in the same style (I'll build from mdf/battens and clad in the same unit fascias) from the new boiler boxing underneath the window to where the units/work surface start. Then an L shaped run that somehow fits in the sink, hob, washing machine and dishwasher on the same wall. New morning/mrs cyoa consultation is now open to a tall unit for the oven.

    Above the pan drawers on the left will be some kind of open shelf (probably peg board or something simple for now) for books/plants/accoutrements then above the hob a pan rack with knife rack nearby on that wall somewhere.

    Then on the bit of wall next to the chimney stack / the door to the utility room, have a coffee counter (reduced depth unit with worksurface/splashbacks ) and an open shelf above it for coffee machine (technivorm, so no need to plumb in)/grinder/cups etc.

    Basically many times the storage and surface we currently put up with and crucially no longer the rotting/falling apart mess we inherited (and haven't progressed) three years ago.

  • Main question is: where is your dishwasher?
    I realise that you have 60cm less in the back, and basin placement might be impossible, but thought I'd share anyway because windows and size are similar to a kitchen I had installed a few years ago.

  • Here we go! This is a smarter way of doing it IMO.
    That looks like a render.

  • Thanks - there's no dishwasher currently. In my latest plan I've got rid of the washing machine (can stay in the utility room for now) and the new dishwasher is added next to the sink:

    The sink is where the current sink is and the oven is where the current oven is.

    I like your layout - just not sure it'd be practical on a DIY level (moving sink and oven - currently electric range with gas hob, moving to electric double under and induction hob). Also feel there'd be an awful lot of tidying to do on the wall under the windows - I'm no plasterer.

    Also - extraction - what on earth is that hanging thing?
