In place of Island platform you can simply place a service platform or dinette near refrigerator so the serving gets better.Also please revise the sofa arrangment as it is blocking the vision and creating contraction.make the Passage and kitchen partition wall align to dinning table.Please add some crockery unit near dinning table.thanks.

Hello Purvi, I don't think you can plan for an island as it requires the island plus the movement area. The entry door and the refrigerator are side by side which might not be practical.

You are going to have to leave your comfort zone on this one. Walnut is "brown", you have "pink" as a counter top. I would suggest going with another version of the colours already in the room. you have gray/beige and white. I would hesitate going white...but it can be done. You can move into the grays and be very happy (it would look very modern) or you can move into a beige that holds a hint of pink in it (not pink...but a blush of warmth). Or you could go really wonky and add in something like a brushed stainless steel look to the cabinets and have it go "space age". There are specs of blue/gray in this counter top. The next think to look at is an "ashwood" or dark gray wood presentation that has some blue in it. It would lighten the space yet still add drama that dark cabinetry offers.

there is many types of support to be used for counter top for long lasting work... as ... 1) brick wall which takes 2" , 4" or 6" thickness space which is not good for below space as we will waste space for storage under counter... this is used where heavy material is used on top of counter for cutting any food items... 2) marble support... which will take 35mm thk space double support... 3) furniture base if the kitchen working person is using the sink properly for washing purpose and the gaps between the sink and counter top has to be sealed properly for leakage free to avoid any damages for below storage, as i will not prefer this in other area... this can be used only in foreign countries...

A McSo. Couldn't the base of 15cm overhang be supported end to end with steel. As a single steel structure mounted on the larger cabinet area visible here. It should be sufficient for supporting the extension. Corbels will provide additional support but IMHO may not be required. Have you thought about an semi circular or a D shape counter to avoid sharp edges. Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs, Bangalore.

Thanks Walter for your valuable suggestions. Even I was thinking of a sliding counter which can be of multiple purpose use.
since I also belong to creative field I have visualized most of the things and I wanted few IDEAS and opinions to ensure myself that I am going in correct direction.
Just one more thing I would love to have your opinion about that is of dining table, I would be glad to hear from you soon. Thanks

yes...in place of dining room you could expand the kitchen and have an island... you can use the lounge area as a dining area

Hi Purvi, for open plan kitchen you can change the fridge door position to front facing instead of balcony facing. One more option is, you can plan for pocket doors. The advantage of that is if you wish to have the open feeling you can keep it open or close it.

My personal advise will be, instead of asking for individual queries you should consult a person and take complete details as per your requirements.
