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..

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.

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.
