Added plan for room size,its been changed many times!
As it stands now from top left,600 base is dishwasher,then a void in corner,then 150 pullout then 3x 900 pans,then 150 pullout,1000 corner with 600 door,then 600 door base. Bringing the base units at sides out a bit to avoid fillers as they dont do 1000 pans
and to try and avoid a join in quartz along the longest stretch of units?
I really wanted that 'look' of a run of drawers,unbroken with doors so thats why I've changed the pans to longest run rather than the 2 sides.
From your plans it looks as though you have 1.1m between tower units and island, this is a perfect gap in normal use but as you have seating on that side you may find you're asking people to squeeze in when trying to use the F/F or ovens. Not always but it's just on the boundry of being annoying. So again for me it's a reason to reduce the island down to 1050m
This was one of the thoughts I had with regard to opening and closing of doors so another reason to reduce width of island.
Design and layout wise there are a few things i'd change. Firstly the wall units on the left hand side. I would place them on the back wall next to the window like the other side. I see you have gone for bi-folds there too so I suspect Benchmarx don't have suitable sized bi-folds for that to work? Shame really.
Yep,you're right there! 900 or 600,opted for 2x600 as gives more cupboard space so had to go on that wall but then it does line up with base lines.
Back to back walls were suggested for island but i prefer a bigger cupboard as have bigger things to store in the units.
Am off to look at appliances today so will check out FF styles,Im still leaning to 50/50's though
Any ovens I should avoid?? Going for 2 singles,side by side.
would have loved to add 2 warming drawers but I believe there has to be a filler panel above oven for airspace so with Aventos above there isnt enough height?
