Would anyone be willing to cast their eye over my kitchen plans?

[Daisybell1]

I have had kitchen plans drawn up (which I love) but would someone be willing to 'sanity check' them for me?

this kitchen is 4m wide, so the same as yours, so you could fit an island in, it would just need to be shorter than the one there....

looks nice but could easily get short of worktop space. have you got space for the 'breakfast things' (toaster / kettle etc)? that corner is well used in our house. If it were my room, I'd have the oven under the hob, and more workspace by the fridge for the toaster.

Have you got an induction hob in there? induction is fabulous so I recommend it.

What about a peninsular rather than an island to get a bit more worktop?

I too am married to a farmer and we moved the kitchen from the dark hallway it was in to a sunny room overlooking the garden. Was met with much consternation from the in-laws (whose house it had been, so understandable, but was the best thing we have done). I would suggest moving tea/coffee making and sink nearer to the door if you have a farmer who pops in and out all day with dripping cups and dusty clothes.

You don't say if you have kids but I would want both the hob and oven next to each other simply for safety's sake when cooking a roast dinner, for example. You would need eyes in the back of your head with your current plans. Second what others have said about fridge being next to the oven - really expensive energy costs given you have a fairly blank canvass.
I was wondering what direction the light comes from as that should dictate where something as big and bulky and light abosrbing as your fridge should go. And we don't have any wall units which really adds to the space and light feeling in the room. If you have any option to do this I would really recommend it. Ikea have a downloadable tool that you can play around with yourself - standard cupboard sizes, appliances etc and you can view it in 3d without repeated trips to your designer. You don't have to get the kitchen from ikea though! I found it a really useful tool. Have fun!!

Oh you've had loads of comments, sorry if it's moved on!

I would tweak the layout a bit:

Move oven and its unit to the far right of the hob - instead of that dresser thing. Have the fridge on end of run then a lovely big double door larder unit next to it. I guess the microwave is going in that dead corner?

Have the sink and dishwasher a bit more to the right, (sink drainer is ideally on the left), so you have some "kettle/breakfast" space to the left of the sink and out of the way of the main cook area. (And next to the larder, crockery, and fridge). Plan for crockery/cutlery storage on this side of sink - give yourself a drawer and either deep drawers or a cupboard below. ( am a convert to Ikea style plates stacked in a deep drawer). You could then have the DW on the right of the sink unit and stack dirty pots on that side...then it won't obstruct the corner when it's open.

Fit bins that pull out under the sink (see Ikea for ideas - you can put Ikea bins in a non-Ikea cupboard as long as your plumber puts the sink waste in carefully)

Around the corner: get rid of the wall and dresser cupboard on the left of the cooker - this is your main prep space, should be at least 1.2m long, with nothing to block the light or headroom above it. Possibly have a diagonal corner wall cupboard for spices and stuff? Consider having this worktop a bit deeper say 700mm. Have storage for all your pans and utensils and maybe some ingredients (that aren't in the larder) on the cooker side of the room. Wall unit on R of cooker - could take or leave it but maybe good for glasses/stuff you want handy to the table?

You have two corners so pay attention to good accessible storage for those cupboards. Also consider pull-out shelves/innerdrawers in your base units that have doors.

You can tweak this layout a bit to get your symmetry back but that would work better for ergonomics.

YY to the Ikea planner - you can absolutely fine tune your layout and then get the actual units from anywhere you like.

thanks for this, my head is now spinning

I need to go away and lie down in a darkened room!

yyy to the ikea planner : you put in the fixed things - walls, windows, doors
and then play ......

I had the fun that I could build the walls to fit and then could not
but the ikea thingy - and ikea kitchens are the bees knees
