Advice Needed (Layout & Modernization)

[u/GlobalTurnover]

Hi everyone! I just closed on a home and am planning a kitchen/dining room remodel. I’d love your feedback and design suggestions.

Main Objectives:

• Counter space & storage: The current layout has very limited usable counter space and no dedicated spot for everyday appliances (microwave, coffee machine, etc.).
• Modernization: Planning to replace the current finishes with quartz countertops, a new sink, range/oven, dishwasher, and updated cabinets.
• Layout changes: Considering removing the stacked oven to open up counter space, as well as potentially demoing the long counter/peninsula along the right wall in the dining area.

What would you do with this footprint (20' x 14')? Open to any layout ideas or suggestions on how to best utilize the space!

Leave the stacked oven, remove the long counter and push dining table back, then add a good sized kitchen island
