Kitchen single bowl vs double bowl sink vs 1 and 1/2 bowl

Thanks for the suggestion. Why do you think it is better to move the sink to the left? I am concerned that when the husband is using the oven for cooking and the wife is using the sink to wash things, they will bump into each other if the sink is moved to the left.

Can the pot be put into 900cm corner cabinets? Drawers are expensive and more prone to fail.

 

Thanks. I did consider this option previously. However, the pantry has brick walls. it is costly to demolish and do all the repair work. I guess it would cost me $300 for demolition, $600 for repair work and $600 for a new pantry.

 

The room looks unbalanced to me. If I've got a sink, and a window, I always put the sink in the centre. I also agree with @wylie in removing that pantry. It takes up way too much space. Remove it, and put the fridge in it's place. Maybe lose a cabinet next to the fridge & put a small pantry there. Nobody wants a fridge taking up space in the living area.

 

Totally agree.

Also swap the dishwasher and sink around.
And make the bench 30cm wider where it projects into the lounge area so there’s an overhang for stools to sit under. If you move the fridge you will also be able to make this part of the bench longer.

 

Like this. No one will do the dishes in the sink while someone is cooking. Once you have a dishwasher it is only the odd thing that will be hand washed.

 

Yes, yes, yes.

 

Oh wow, it looks huge!!! I love it.

 

What a transformation!

 

You can also add another overhead cupboard to make up for the smaller pantry.

 

You could, but I'm not a fan of it protruding past the benchtop.

 

I’m thinking the bench top be extended also so stools can fit under

 

Oh, I know & that's perfect.

I do, however have a different view on overhead cupboards. To me they are virtually useless. I'm really short, so I have to stand on tiptoes to use the bottom shelf. Can't reach the top shelf at all. An overhead cupboard sitting in a position that you can't directly stand in front of is something I'd never use, so there's absolutely no benefit in me having one. But that's my experience, which is totally different to those of a more normal height.

 

That is a good point. Need to know the value I lose by not spending the money.

 

That is an amazing transformation. This certainly greatly improved the value of the property.

 

Yes. I have a breakfast bar with a 90cm bench

 

Thanks. I have moved the sink closer to the center of the window now.

 

The cabinet maker has 6 options for the stone benchtop. Which one you think would be most suitable? See the attached photo. The cabinets themselves are gloss white and the appliances are all stainless steel. I am considering using large white tiles for the wall.

 

For the benchtop I like 2 and 5. We have something similar to 2 at our place. For the splashback I wouldn't use the big white tiles. I think they are great for a bathroom, but look cheap in a kitchen.
