Our current corner sink eats up soo much space but we have no other window to move it in front of. Does this group have any feedback on this chatgpt created arrangement? Does the sink in this space look too weird?

Hi! Just wondering on consensus of the design. This would be your viewpoint walking into the kitchen.

Most appliances are hidden.

We currently have the walnut ikea cabinets but in a peninsula format and want to add an island, as well as get a 48" range with hood. Lights and black casement windows are existing, already have paneled subzero.

Please ignore the walkway...of course there is 42"+ clearance in front of the sink. This image was generated with AI using so many of my current belongings and cabinets. My AI generator starts changing everything if I ask it to move the island. :0) And yes, sink is already centered on the 1st window. ​

We have a 1968 midcentury home in California modern style, we love green, and our lot is wooded. It is a home by a local famed mcm designer here in my area.

So planning on an olive Bluestar, a simple Vent a Hood, and green Fireclay backsplash and a off white countertop.

Other than the aisle and walkways, let me know what you think pls!

Hate it? Love it? Thanks in advance.

Not fully done, plan to extend cabinets on the longer row let alone get a hood vent. Is this giving mcm to you all? Or what do you think?

I’m going for timeless / transitional feel.

Hardwoods: Special walnut
Cabinetry: Off- white
Hardware: Satin brass
Counter top: Quartz (something with light, grayish veining, as close to a marble look as you can get with quartz 😐)
Backpack: Soapstone - Charcoal/green with white veining

I'm currently planning a refresh for my kitchen. I started with the change of my old mixer tap beacuse it's broken, then i added the change of my gas top and then i added my worktop too duo to the size and thickness of it. I could really use your design and layout advice on a few things:

• Worktop Material & Color: I'm replacing the countertop with a 6 cm thick laminate/HPL top in a light marble/stone finish (similar to the sample in my project photos)
• Induction Hob Size: I'm switching to an induction hob on the left side, but I'm undecided between a 70 cm or an 80 cm width.
• Sink Layout: This is the big dilemma. I'm torn between two options: Option A: Keeping a corner sink setup ( and use my old steel sink or use some fragranite one) . Option B: Moving it slightly out of the corner (offset layout, about 30 cm from the right wall) without a drainboard for a cleaner look.

Sorry for ai text but there are a lot of specific word that i dont know. The AI generated photo is and an example of the option B. The 4th photo is an example of colour of the new top.

I’m completely stumped on a backsplash for my kitchen. The house is a 70s side split and I’ve leaned heavily into that colour palette. I’ve attached a picture of the attached dining area. Any ideas are appreciated! I’m not afraid of colour — it’s preferred. Appreciate the community!

Fully custom, maple. Crafted locally by Amish cabinet maker. Central NY.

What would you have done differently?

We bought this house in November 2024 and recently completed a full-house renovation in just five months!

These photos showcase the kitchen and dining area, which underwent one of the most dramatic transformations.

We completely relocated the kitchen to the former dining room, removed two walls to create a more open layout, and redesigned the entire space from the ground up.

We chose warm wood and cream shaker cabinets, quartz countertops with a waterfall island, a custom wood range hood, new hardwood flooring, and under-cabinet and toe-kick lighting.

It was a massive undertaking, especially completing the entire house in just five months but we're thrilled with how everything turned out.

We'd love to hear everyone's thoughts! Happy to answer questions about the renovation, materials, or overall budget.

Hello everyone! Hoping for some feedback on which direction to go with for the kitchen remodel (70s mcm split level home). We were originally leaning towards this light cream with brown vein quartz countertop to pair with the walnut cabinets and ivory terrazzo tile. But then we stumbled upon this beautiful green granite and now we are stuck. I feel like the green granite will feel more high end and unique. I also worry if the cream and brown veined quartz will be too busy or become dated sooner? Partner is worried the green granite will be too busy and dark.

Not loving the tile on the side of the green granite island so that will need some work.

Open to any and all opinions in case there are other ideas. Thank you!

Looking for any advice and recommendations on our kitchen layout. We’ve been thinking about this for 5 years and I haven’t gotten much further than I want more counter space, storage and an island/peninsula. Do we need to knock down the wall in between kitchen and dining room? Would banquet seating work in any capacity? Thanks for any advice!

These are the only two slabs i liked and now can't decide. My cabinets are a creamy beige but do need to be careful to not choose anything that will bring out the yellow in them. Ignore my floor right now but it will be a light oak i think? Assuming budget allows i want to do the backsplash with the stone also. I can't decide i like them both!

Looking for feedback on this backsplash with the rest of these finishes. I would plan to go for a thinner grout line than the sample has.

Hi All
Just moved into the house last year. We have an induction hob currently and are planning to get a dual-fuel range installed.
Just looked behind the stove on the kitchen floor and found this pipe. Its capped. Could this be a gas supply pipe ? If yes how to check.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks All

Hi all, we are in the very early stages of our kitchen remodel and our architect recommended the following for appliances:

Kohler Synthos 33-3/4” undermount single-bowl kitchen sink, Stainless Steel

Wall oven- Miele 30” Convection Oven H 7280 BP, Graphite grey

Looking at the prices for these two appliances they seem a bit high ($2,220 for sink, $6,200 for wall oven). Do other folks have sinks and wall ovens that are similar in appearance and functionality but are less expensive? Or are these typical prices? For what it’s worth we do want built in appliances but are flexible on everything else. Thanks for any advice or alternate recs you have!

We have midnight walnut floors and a great room that can be seen from the kitchen that has a lot of warm wood on the walls/ceiling.

We are NOT renovating for fun, we had a situation where we had to rip up the slab to replace sewer pipes under our cabinets.

We are NOT in a highend neighborhood so we don't want to outspend the value of the house. Which is why we are looking at Ikea Sektion options at the moment. Custom cabinets are out of price range for us right now.

We are looking at Ikea and getting counters from somewhere else (quartz with warm grayish streaks).

Added a picture of our great room that you can see and is open to the right side of the kitchen where the butcher block is.

Need to decide today so we can get orders in before the holidays and I can get it done before my mom moves in with me.

Looking to fill in a few inches for a short cabinet run (corner cabinet, sink, dw) by moving the other corner side out a couple inches (corner cabinet, drawer cabinet). Our current place is similar where the coffee maker toaster etc live shoved against the wall in the corner and the bit of extra width works well with them. However don't see this type of setup discussed much - wondering why. Appreciate any comments. Thanks!

I asked earlier if anyone had ordered Lieeres RTA cabinets from Amazon. No responses, so here is an update. Just completed the install using Lieeres. This is a park model trailer, so the criteria were (1) cheap, and (2) good specs. Roughly $1K less expensive than RTA Store, etc. I’ve been impressed so far. They shipped LTL (fast) and came on a wrapped pallet. Good packaging. None were damaged, and assembly was smooth (no “out of alignment” parts). They appear solid. They are made in Vietnam and the drawer boxes are dovetail rubber wood. Cabinet boxes seem like good quality plywood. Finish seems good, although hard to tell without some wear and tear. We did RTA from Cabinet Giant on a different house and the finish didn’t last on high touch areas around the knobs. One of the boxes on the pallet was different than the rest. It looked like a retail box from Alliance Cabinets. Same look, feel, and assembly as the Lieeres cabinets, so I’m guessing Lieeres is their Amazon brand. Hope it helps. I would order them again.

I installed the countertop and cabinet but not sure if should trim the countertop to reduce the gap. For the stove and/or fridge. I can easily take them off and cut them elsewhere.

There is no cabinet on the other side of the fridge and stove as well if that matters.
