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!
70’s hibachi?
Considering the absolute picturesque dreaminess of this house and that price I would deal with it. If I really didn’t like it, I’d have enough money to fix it considering how much money I’d save on buying the house.
I might have rotated the oven 90 degrees counterclockwise and gotten rid of the island (peninsula , I guess) but I like having what would essentially be two prep stations working across from one another with one person right at the range top. This kitchen isn’t actually that big from a square footage perspective but it looks like 4 or 5 people could comfortably work there without touching elbows.
Not me fucking up my sims kitchen for the 6th time in a row
I’ve seen more sensible kitchen layouts in the game Overcooked
Just imagine trying to clean around it.
you would get your steps in, that is certain.
-
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.

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.)
Everyone is fixated on the stove but nobody noticed there wasnt a fridge
Probably behind the photographer
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.
Yeah no. I had a kitchen with a similar wider end and that is perfect for a table, it even has a window ! The commitment to the green is a power choice, I would probably only keep the green doors and get the rest in a neutral colour.
I also kinda think this is a lot of storage space, I would be happy exchanging some for a dinig area.With that green colour, oven placement would be very much a secondary concern.
“How to make avocado green worse.”
Add some olive. Although isn’t that guacamole?
That colour is avacadon’t.
Yeah I don’t think those shades of green belong in any kitchen
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.
ITS AVOCADO YOU C*NT!
I quite like it.
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.
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.
I must be weird. I kinda like it. It keeps the grease and heat away from the rest of the prep space.
I’m with you. I kind of like it over there keeping its mess to itself. Kind of dig the green too.
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.
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!
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.
The kitchen is overall hideous, but I do like that generous prep space adjacent to the cook top.
