Hi /diy/. Is there a better kind of layout for our kitchen? I would like a bigger counter space and I don't know where to place a cabinet for pantry.

Is already comfy.

>Look left see brother eating and watching YouTube.
>Keep walking straight mom says "your plate is almost ready honey"
>Smile
>Take a seat at the table with brother
10/10 wish the above to be my life.

Thanks.
I was wondering if peninsula on the opposite side of the stove might be a good idea.

I don't know what a peninsula is but I would put the refrigerator so that it opens for the people in the kitchen not outside the kitchen. And I would put the fridge next to sink because most times you would need to prepare things from the fridge before they're cooked. The that would leave microwave/oven next to stove.

I meant integrated.

>Not having a U shaped kitchen.
Why live?
Get a U shape kitchen, and remember to have a triangle with your fridge sink and oven. One on each side. It'll only cost you a little more and you get 50% more kitchen.

It looks okay. Personally I might opt for an island with stove, replace stove with countertop and move fridge to be next to where stove is now.
Look up "kitchen work triangle" and use that as your guide. Just dont let normal traffic interfere with it, and you'll probably be fine.

Under counter fridge/freezer can get you some extra counter space.

Depends on whether or not you believe in the kitchen triangle.
>place a cabinet for pantry.
You're thinking too inside the box.

The fuck is this? Is my kitchen shit?

I actually just searched this concept on wikipedia:
>No leg of the triangle should be less than 4 feet (1.2 m) or more than 9 feet (2.7 m).
4.83 to 8.67'. Check
>The sum of all three sides of the triangle should be between 13 feet (4.0 m) and 26 feet (7.9 m).
21.25'. Check
>Cabinets or other obstacles should not intersect any leg of the triangle by more than 12 inches (30 cm).
no interference. Check.
>If possible, there should be no major traffic flow through the triangle.
I would consider the path between the fridge and stove an egress corridor, but there is a way around.
>A full-height obstacle, such as a tall cabinet, should not come between any two points of the triangle.
check
