Dimensions:
galley kitchen 8ft X 8ft x 8ft open space next to 8ft X 9.5 ft X11.5ft
I want this room to feel more masculine/feminine/neutral:
Neutral
What type of sunlight does this room receive?:
Mid-day light
What do you currently dislike about the room?:
Cramped space, lack of storage, functionality, limited food prep space, dishwasher needs replacing sink leaking, want larger refrigerator/more freezer space. Would like more functional eating space. Sliding door takes up a lot of potential wall and counter space (although we are not looking to replace this necessarily). No pantry/food storage.
What pieces of existing furniture, lighting, art or accessories do you want to keep in the design?:
Everything can go! Would like new appliances, new flooring, new lights, new counters, new table/chairs--thinking a bench seat would be cute/functional for storage perhaps!
Are you open to changing your wall colors?:
Yes
Do you have a preference for either paint or wall covering, or are you open to both?:
Open to both
Are you open to changing your floor covering?:
Yes, Tile, Stone, Concrete
Additional comments to designers:
We cook nearly every day in the kitchen together so maximizing workspaces so we can do that at the same time without bumping into each other too much is ideal. I make a smoothie nearly every morning with frozen ingredients, mason jar ingredients and refrigerated items so having a station/set up for this is ideal. We have no food/pantry space currently so it ends up on the counter. My husband makes coffee with a French press and electric kettle so another station/set up for this is ideal. We would love a more functional space for eating in the kitchen with potentially a bench seat along the wall adjacent to the sliding door. We like cool tones blues and grays for accent colors. We would like more neutral counters, leaning white or light cabinets and hesitant about but open to dark counter tops (the material must be easy to keep clean! Black granite, for example, will not stay clean/streak free!). All white kitchens feel sterile to me so a fun backsplash with maybe a pop of color would be nice. Would love some ideas/inspiration for what to decorate the cut out/half wall space between kitchen and living room with. I have some sad plants now, but would love to incorporate more greenery!
