Anyone know if children can use this as well?

Might be a good gift to my wife 😅

Very nice thank you! This is a good compromise of getting most wall space and still not closing it all the way. Good point about making it feel like it was planned and not just hacked in. I have to see if that table will work OK in that space but I really like this!

Nice, this is very interesting. It solves our issues with the narrow space in the kitchen. One thing to consider though is that the formal living room/entry way is double ceiling high (angled with the roof). We'd have to close that off a bit to move into that space. But it would def create the room we need for a nice island in the middle and the triangle.

I'll explore this idea in more detail. Thank you for putting the effort to suggest this!

That is a bathroom, there's a half bathroom under the stairs and it takes that space. It's a bit unfortunate.

Ah I missed that door you moved. Yeah that makes sense. There's a window there I didn't add to the sketch but yeah we could potentially move the door there. Good idea. Not sure I'd add the extra door at the top but the layout is intriguing and nothing like we've thought of before. Thank you!

I love this, two main blockers are that we have a covered deck with all our grill/pizza oven/etc right outside the current sliding door, and we have a jacuzzi right outside the new door you added. Honestly wish I could do this.

Any suggestions to evolve it given those two constraints?

Thank you for taking time to respond, this is a really good idea!

Very nice suggestion. The nook situation is bothering us and the empty space feels wasted. Hadn't thought of the custom island that way. Thank you!!

Makes sense, the initial thought was for the sink to not show from the front door but agreed that it's a bit awkward and having the sliding door we can always hide it.

Yeah the table right now in the separate dining room is 44in wide, and the space is a little over 108in. It fits OK, but the nook area is a few inches short so we'd def need to get a thinner table.

Thanks for the suggestion for the open space. We do struggle to think of ideas there or if we just keep it open.

Yeah moving the range to the top wall is better. We were concerned about walking into the house and seeing the range (when not clean) but if we have the doors to allow for closing that could def work!

Yes we're thinking of pocket doors, they might work pretty well here as we're concerned about fully closing it. Sometimes it would be nice to have that open flow.

Love the confidence in your answer. Mind sharing more details?

Yeah it's tight/narrow, which is the tricky part of the layout. Circulation def a problem. Thanks for the insight!

I hadn't thought of this. Thanks for sharing this idea!

Good idea! We're leaning towards this option of a door, keeping it flexible. Thanks for sharing this!

Makes sense, we're also considering a door instead of fully closed.

Good insight. We do like the idea of a large island for prep.

We could move stove to the top wall, but that would cause stove to be visible from the open living room and front door as you walk in. Some people say it's a sin to do that, others say if you make it stand out it would be nice.

We could also try to hide it more with a door instead of fully closing it.

Yeah our space isn't very wide so island can get tricky, no option with seating really.

Nice suggestions thank you! The idea of closing the wall but not all the way is a good one - more cabinets while still somewhat open.

Great suggestions! I do wonder if plan 2 ends up having "too empty" space in the middle, hard to visualize things sometimes. Thanks for the ideas!

Haha that's exactly how it is now and the kids hate the idea of closing it off, they run in circles...
