I’m trying to put together the floorplan for our kitchen, when I build it, but I’m not too sure how to work it.
I know I want the fridge at an angle between two walls (like, in the corner). From the one side will come a wall and the other side a counter.
At the end of the counter, I want it to L off into a dining space on the opposite side. (like a connected island, at the end).
I want the sink to be in the middle of the counter and the stove to be in the smaller L part, and I really *really* want a wall oven. But none of that logistically seems to go together.
Where is a wall oven going to go with an angled fridge, unless it sticks out. It could be on the other side of the fridge on the opposite wall (before we get to the door), but that would look pretty strange, wouldn’t it. And no cabinets. Only Old European “table” style counters with freestanding ground cabinets (that’s what I’m doing with the other wall. So the problem that presents is.really where is the oven going to go.)
Anyone have any logistical advice.
Thanks. =)

if you can’t use that, then ‘build’ your room on paper, measurements correct/scaled down, cut out your cabinets and counters , scaled right, add the stove and stuff and play with ‘em. I think you might have to dump the corner fridge idea. unless you’ve got the room, like these folks.I do like how they built the walls around the fridge. but those are specifically corner fridges, aren’t they.

no place for a wall oven. can’t find it in your description. is there a ‘pantry’ cabinet, floor to ceiling that could hold the oven.

See ‘meanolma’s answer.
1] You have to plot out a floor paln with EXACT measurements; and measurements for all the appliances you want.
2] a fridge at an angle will take up more room, which you probably can’t afford
3] all this will have to be approved by building inspector too - check guidelines in your town/county.

Your best bet may be to have a custom woodworker (who specializes in cabinetry) come in and give you a hand. Oftentimes, the design component of the process is a big part of the service a custom woodworker can provide. If you pop over to http://www.CustomMade.com, you can use their “search” function to find someone in your area to contact.
Good luck with the kitchen.
