Kitchen Flip: A Fresh Take on an Existing Layout
The only change in the layout of this kitchen renovation was to swap the position of the refrigerator, which used to be flush against this wall, both restricting full access to the refrigerator since the door couldn't be opened all the way, and blocking the flow of traffic into the kitchen from the dining room when the door was open. Now, the cabinet/counter alcove exists where the fridge once was, creating a much better use of the space, allowing for better for traffic flow in and out of the kitchen, and a more aesthetically pleasing design. And the best part is because the refrigerator only moved 36" to the left, no extra plumbing work was required to make this simple switch.
