New kitchen plan - can I reach the fridge?

[Jozijo]

We're planning a house remodel and kitchen in a new space. I'm pretty happy with this plan now except I'm worried about easily reaching into the fridge freezer (well, the fridge part mainly). The fridge will open on the wrong side and there isn't a whole lot of room. We can slightly reduce the island to make a bit more space, but that doesn't solve the door opening the 'wrong way'. Do you think it will be a problem? I really want a side by side American FF (I know what people say but we have another freezer in the garage and I like the set up) and they only seem to work this way! We don't have space (or budget) for two full size fridge/freezer, and I think one won't be enough (current 70-30 FF is packed). Thank you!

Another vote for DIY kitchens over Ikea. We love ours and there is plenty of choice of cabinets to make the best use of your space.

Thanks all, you have given me many things to think about and although I was hoping this stage was about done, going to go and speak to a couple of in house designers and discuss if we can do a better set up. I am glad I sought opinion as I was worried it wasn't right!
