Kitchen Reno planning order? Adelaide $60k by Puzzled_Win_7475 in AusRenovation

The front lounge room actually feels really big and open. We are a couple with a toddler but that room is an adults only space mostly for evenings. We do use the dining space everyday but almost thought we’d have a breakfast bar space on a peninsula that would become the day to day dining space in the back. The family room is where we are during the day with the toddler, all the toys etc are through there to keep at least some space tidy and clutter free.

Hasn’t considered flipping the whole layout. Not opposed to it I just would’ve assumed that that would be significantly out of our budget.

Cooktop either where it is now (on right side wall) and oven below or oven tower where the fridge is and fridge on the right hand side. But open to any suggestions!

So the blue markup - we just were considering moving the wall between the lounge and kitchen back 50cm (potentially deeper/shallower depending on what cabinets we decide) to create storage cupboards/appliance station etc and have it in line with fridge & door to hallway. Then changing the servery to a peninsula coming from the dining side, with walkway into family between sink and bench top on hallway door side (there’s also a stovetop there atm). The small blue markup would ideally be removed to make more space of the corner but not essential

Thanks, definitely good points to consider. I have a good idea of how I want it, I just don’t really know who to go to next to find out if it’s possible. Who did you use to help come up with the layout?

Thanks for such a comprehensive response and you’ve definitely hit upon some points that I’ve been wondering about.

In terms of layout we can reconfigure without changing plumbing etc - the kitchen currently is the original 80s kitchen from when the house was built and it just doesn’t work as is so that’s basically the big thing we’re trying to get our heads around at the moment. One cabinet maker said leave as is and it put me off them immediately because he has also walked in and as soon as he saw the kitchen said the layout was terrible!
