Linda Mathis on Oct 09, 2015Yes you can place any Item on the diagonal. I would box in the space behind it and put in cleaning friendly finished shelving. Good luck with your project.Helpful Reply

Valerie Bradshaw on Oct 09, 2015You can place the range on a diagonal but it uses up a lot of wall space. The base cabinets have to be installed far enough from the range (which is deeper than base cabinets) so that the drawers can pull out and not hit the range OR the handle on the range AND that they range door can open without hitting the cabinetry. Using a 30" (76.2cm) range the cabinetry would start approx. 46" (1.17 meters) or more from the corner. The wall cabinets also have to be positioned so that the open doors do not hit the vent hood if you are using one. Open shelves are probable not an issue. If you don't mind the sink not centered under the window, slide it down (may have to relocate the plumbing a bit) so that it is centered on the left half of the window and utilize the space between your existing cabinetry and door. Put the trash under the sink cabinet. Without all the measurements of the space. its hard to figure out what other layouts could be. Another option could be to a straight run (including the range) opposite the sink wall of cabinetry (galley style). build a half wall approx 6" higher than the cabinet height behind the new cabinet run. If there is enough space between the kitchen area and where the table is, an countertop overhang on the back of the wall could be used for bar height stools.Helpful Reply

The Redesign Habit on Oct 09, 2015You want to be careful how you place your appliances from the start. I would suggest you do some research online for space planning ideas for small kitchen spaces. Anytime you place anything on the diagonal, you tend to end up wasting space so that your surrounding counters can accommodate the angle, which when you have such a small space to start with, you can't afford to do. Plus if I'm looking at your photo correctly, even with your stove in the corner, it would still be somewhat under the window, which can present it's own set of problems. Good luck, would love to see the finished product!Helpful Reply

Valerie on Oct 10, 2015You can hang shelves above Windows, an island of back to back upper cabinets (setting off set to the walkway) with extended counter top creating a place to eat. This would help divide the rooms. The stove n sink going under back window then maybe replace wood stove with a Eden pure (It is a portable heat source) placing fridge where wood stove is setting.Helpful Reply

Z on Oct 10, 2015I drew up an idea for you. It's not to scale since I didn't know your measurements so it's possible that it may not work for you, but thought it worth suggesting. Instead of making an L shape kitchen, why not make a mini galley kitchen using a half wall between the kitchen and dining area where your stove could be placed between two base cabinets giving you more prep space? Click on the drawing below to see what I think might be possible.Helpful Reply

Pat on Oct 11, 2015Can you get a smaller table and put it like Becky drew? When not serving dinner, you could use it for counter space to work on. I did not see a refrigerator...do you have a place for one?Helpful Reply

Terra Gazelle on Oct 13, 2015I have a small kitchen that I needed more work space for. So I used tall pantry cabinets making the storage vertical ...and took an old microwave on rollers with a butcher black top and put it under the counter to be rolled out when I need more work space. Also it has shelves under it..so I have more storage space. I end up with more storage and work space then if I would have kept to the regular box cabinets. I also use open shelves on the top.. Look through places like Pinterest for ideas...it can be very helpful.Helpful Reply
