Kitchen Layouts Made Easy

To design your own sleek modern kitchen there are more options than IKEA or spending big bucks on a designer. Henrybuilt from Seattle has launched a new line of modular kitchens called Viola Park.

The goal of the company is to simplify the process of buying a kitchen, making great design more accessible for the do-it-yourself renovator. The official site went live this weekend and includes a configuration tool that provides kitchen layouts based on a simple series of questions about a customer's particular space and appliance locations. Pricing for any option chosen is immediately presented within the configuration tool.

    My kitchen is awful. It's 10' x 13'6" with an exit door to the back yard, an small exit 'hall' to the former butler's pantry (now 3/4 bath) and dining room, an exit to a tiny mudroom between the kitchen and foyer and basement stairs, and an exit with stairs leading to the second floor. There's also a good sized window between the stairs and the outside exit, and an island between the outside exit and the butler's pantry. I think if the island was gone or at least smaller, it might feel less cramped (not to mention it blocks out the whole "kitchen triangle" concept). I'm not much of a cook anyway, so I don't use it all that much, but aside from the tiny 3/4 bath that used to be the butler's pantry, it's the worst room in an otherwise lovely house, and short of extending the house farther back, I can't imagine how to fix it.
  • That does sound like a tight fit. Give this kitchen configuration tool a try. We found it to offer a number of solutions depending on type of layout you have. At least it might give you some ideas you may not have considered before.
