        Reminds me of my grandma’s kitchen growing up. Way more character than the soulless granite countetops, stainless steel appliances, and neutral cabinets that is in vogue now.

      Thank you for saying exactly what I was thinking. If they painted it and changed those ugly ass cupboards it wouldn’t be a bad kitchen.

          I feel like having everything prepped right there next to you would probably be a benefit not a detriment. The colors will eat your soul though - absolutely horrid.

      Really depends where the fridge is… Triangle is optimal, but if the fridge and sink both require walking around that counter it’s gonna get annoying fast.

      Also lets them have a little breakfast area as well.

      Seems like the most efficient use of space to me.

        It looks like a good use of space if you have never really used a kitchen before. Very difficult to use in any real world cooking scenario.

        There should be laws stopping people who don’t use kitchens from designing them. I see so many terrible choices like this.

          Oh fucking please.

          The sink situation is easily solved with either filling up that kettle, or using a stock pot. The fridge being out of frame means you’re not having to go around the partial island.

          This is a nice utilization of an awkward space. The stove placement means you don’t have to teach young and/or stupid housemates ‘hot behind’ because there’s space for both mis en place and to set a hot dish, in a way that doesn’t mean someone has to scooch behind you and bumping butts.

          This is far from the worst design this room layout could have and is actually pretty damn smart given the layout.
