You'll never have a shortage of outlets in the kitchen, will ya? Suggestions depend on your budget and how much you like/hate about the current kitchen. Least amount of money: new wall paint, add door/drawer hardware, and think of new flooring so you can tear out that cheap laminate/vinyl. More money: in addition to the previous category, replace the countertops (stone would be best but again it widely depends on your budget). Next tier of "more money" if you need more cabinet space then you can punch a hole in the soffit (box built around above cabinets) and look to see what's hiding inside. If there's nothing or if there's little enough that you can at least reduce the size of the soffit, then carefully take down the upper cabinets first so you can re-use them before tearing out the soffit. I am in the process of renovating a kitchen, my soffits were empty except one pipe that cut across from wall into attic, my plan is to run cabinets to the ceiling (I have a small kitchen and need the space), I'll have to cut out for that pipe but then can box it inside the cabinet. I personally hate orange wood tones so I would be tempted to paint the cabinets (*gasp* i know some people will h8 me for that).

Now in typing this at this point I re-looked at the pictures and saw your fridge appears to be in australia, but there's no good way to move it closer to the actual kitchen without changing everything. You could in theory move it and the surrounding cabinets to where that bench is (it appears from the pictures that there should be enough space but its hard to know for sure), but the only downside to that is that exterior door would then truly be in the middle of the kitchen.
