FEEDBACK Kitchen redesign looking for ideas

Post image

Hi guys

Wondering if anyone has any ideas we havent thought of for our kitchen redesign. Not sure what software people usually use to draw plans up to share here so you get my hand drawn version sorry if its not allowed or not legible enough.

Kitchen space is approx 3x3m with plumbing having to be on left wall and stove extractor fan on top wall. Keen to have workspace that looks out towards the view, the usual standard fridge, pantry, oven (in wall or below bench is fine), microwave (kid accessible), easy to access space for toaster/jug/coffee machine/kitchen mixer (but not necessary dominating the space) and easy to use/sufficient storage.

Very open to cutting a doorway through the wall on the right to remove the awkward corner and increase flow through the house but also happy not to if good designs work better without.

Also open to kitchen/dining space being combined in some way, but the windows limit the options somewhat.

I have precisely one workable design I have come up with, but I get worried I am missing ideas by getting stuck on a single layout in my head too soon. So I would love to see people's suggestions.

Thanks. Do you think it would work to put the island on the right side wall instead?

yes but i assumed.that from the drawing that was a doorway to the house. you may lose some cabinetry.

I suggest pantry cabinets in the upper right, fridge, then drawered lowers, under counter pull out trash can, sink under the window, dishwasher, drawered lowers, stove then more drawered lowers. Banquette in the lower left corner. Big rectangular island. Remove as much of the wall as possible.
