With that green colour, oven placement would be very much a secondary concern.

Reminds me of my grandma’s kitchen growing up. Way more character than the soulless granite countetops, stainless steel appliances, and neutral cabinets that is in vogue now.

That colour is avacadon’t.
Add some olive. Although isn’t that guacamole?
Thank you for saying exactly what I was thinking. If they painted it and changed those ugly ass cupboards it wouldn’t be a bad kitchen.
Yeah, it wouldn’t take much - new doors and some paint. Happy days.
I feel like having everything prepped right there next to you would probably be a benefit not a detriment. The colors will eat your soul though - absolutely horrid.
ITS AVOCADO YOU C*NT!
There’s a salmon colored room at the back too. My entire house was pepto bismol pink with green rugs when we bought it, and I thought that was bad. This place might actually be worse.
Yeah I don’t think those shades of green belong in any kitchen
I must be weird. I kinda like it. It keeps the grease and heat away from the rest of the prep space.
Really depends where the fridge is… Triangle is optimal, but if the fridge and sink both require walking around that counter it’s gonna get annoying fast.
Also lets them have a little breakfast area as well.
Seems like the most efficient use of space to me.
It looks like a good use of space if you have never really used a kitchen before. Very difficult to use in any real world cooking scenario.
There should be laws stopping people who don’t use kitchens from designing them. I see so many terrible choices like this.
Oh fucking please.
The sink situation is easily solved with either filling up that kettle, or using a stock pot. The fridge being out of frame means you’re not having to go around the partial island.
This is a nice utilization of an awkward space. The stove placement means you don’t have to teach young and/or stupid housemates ‘hot behind’ because there’s space for both mis en place and to set a hot dish, in a way that doesn’t mean someone has to scooch behind you and bumping butts.
This is far from the worst design this room layout could have and is actually pretty damn smart given the layout.
The kitchen is overall hideous, but I do like that generous prep space adjacent to the cook top.
Turn oven 90° counterclockwise, counter along the wall left of the oven instead of where it is now.
Bonus: You can now have storage above the counter!
I’m with you. I kind of like it over there keeping its mess to itself. Kind of dig the green too.
Placement of the oven does not concern me, what does and always do, is that pathetic exhaust fan above it, which may or may not be connected to the outside by a duct, but in either situation, it’s a low quality system that does not even remove 50% of the cooking aroma, it’s like no one has ever figured out how to make one for home use that is effective and not sound like a jet engine. I’ve seen $2 million dollar condos that have that problem.
Ok it’s not just me. The one in my house clearly had a duct but the previous owners removed it. Now the range hood exhausts out the front directly into your face.
Maybe they had an olfactory disability and needed assistance with identifying when they were poorly cooking their meals
I’ve lived in a couple of apartments in Norway where they had a genius solution to the problems you mention (except the jet engine sound): it sends all odours to your NEIGHBOURS who have their kitchen right above or below yours 😎
(warning:it works both ways. So if your neighbours are cooking you better turn it on, and you better set it to superjet mode, because the strongest decides where the odours go.)
I love to imagine the excitement of these listing agents when they see a spike in views hahah
Naughty cooks are sent to the Oven Dungeon
I kind of like the place one of the oven.
You can open the door and there’s no way it’s going to block the path for anybody else who’s walking in the kitchen. So you got a lot of people in there cooking say for Thanksgiving no worries.
It would also be very hard for say a kid to come in on the side and potentially get hurt. I know there have been many times I’ve had to keep a sharp eye on some very curious young ones.
Cleaning it might be a bitch though.

“Okay, hon, who’s prep and who’s oven tonight?”
Like playing Overcooked
yeah I sorta liked it. I can cook while someone else is grabbing stuff from the fridge or lodaing/unloading the dishwasher and we are not in each others way. Just have to prep well with stuff on the counter to the right.
This house is pretty cute (and priced within reach!), but that kitchen would annoy me…https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2429-Woodley-Rd-Montgomery-AL-36111/72810736_zpid/
Well it’s priced that way because Alabama. No one wants to live in AL.
Is it that cheap just because it’s in Alabama?
I pay like double that for a flat
Wow, houses are still cheap in AL, I remember when they were cheap here (near Nashville, TN)
I mean, it’s an electric stove that wouldn’t be all that hard to change
-
Tear out that oven, hood, and the extended counter to its right.
-
Replace with new oven and hood, rotated 90° so they’re facing into the kitchen.
3: STRIP OFF THAT FUCKING PAINT.
- Wood stain newly cleaned wood.

I dig the oven placement. If I need to chop something, the counter is right there and I can have a beer closeby. Less space for people to crowd around you getting to other areas of the kitchen.
Agreed. Husband and I are constantly bumping ass because the space around our stove is just a hair too small. There’s plenty of space to prep and drop cooked dishes.
I would enjoy a cubicle cooktop, i think
That’s an… odd… placement. I do like the counter immediately next to the stove like that, but, yeah … no.
I thought the same thing, but it needs to be shorter!
I hate when they put stoves next to walls like that. they’d be covered in oil and crap.
Not me fucking up my sims kitchen for the 6th time in a row
Tbh that counter would be a great staging area for all my little stir fry ingredient bowls
Assuming you didn’t knock your hip while rounding the corner and spilling them everywhere!
It’s the sink being so far away from the stove that bothers me. Those two things need to be together
