Design features to make a kitchen less boxy

Question

We have a very square space for our kitchen. We think fitting units around 3 walls again will make it look too boring and boxy. What sort of kitchen design features would you suggest to make it more interesting?

Sean · Answer

I suggest units on 2 walls and a island/ centre unit / worktop with drawers and cupboard space underneath gives the kitchen a open plan look.

Dave · Answer

If the the space is big enough then maybe put an island in it? If not then rather than having the cabinets go around all 3 walls have the end one finish before hand and have a breakfast bar area but still have the units underneath..

Kurt · Answer

Corner units with a 200mm radius door and a corian or stone worktop. If there are any open ends to the u shape you could return the worktop to the Floor even add a curve there if using Corian for a top 
Hope this helps

You could still use 3 sides of your kitchen and perhaps put reduced in depth units on one side, if there isn’t any appliances in that run.

John · Answer

Hi jenny
cut down on the number of wall units use a mix of quality shelving and mix the door coulors maybe light on the wall and a darker shade on the base

Atanas · Answer

If you still want to utilise the 3 walls you can play around with the kind of the cabinets.  It could be full length cabinets with some shelves or wine racks or just a dining table along the wall with some mobile units under it. The other two walls could be done with  the usual units.
