Ideas For Dream Kitchen!


ptkds

Recommended Posts

ptkds Community Regular

I have this tiny kitchen which was fine before going gluten-free, but now it is WAY too small. So I have been thinking about what features would work best in a kitchen. Hopefully we will move in the next 2 yrs, so I have to figure out what I want. Here is what I have so far:

Double oven

Island

Walk-in Pantry

Half the special cabinets from Kitchen Aid!! :lol:

Plenty of counter space.

A huge commercial freezer (but not in the kitchen!!)

Granite countertops

Built in spice rack

So, what do you guys want in your "Dream" or ideal kitchen?? Have fun and dream big!! I am curious to know if I am the only one sitting around dreaming about a better kitchen!!

Under the counter wine cooler.

I don't personally like granite as it is so hard to keep clean and if you drop something on it - it is hard to repair. I like LG HI-Max Volcanic series with no shine. Easy to clean, repair and does not show scratches.

I also had built in spice racks in the past. But, because I have so many spices I keep them in the freezer door. Easy to reach and they don't lose their peak flavors so fast.

Garage doors to keep appliances out of sight and be sure and put plenty of outlets inside them.

I have a pop up shelf for my mixer which is my favorite thing. My mixer is always ready to use and all I have to do is open the doors and pop it up and in to place. It is counter height. Be sure and put a plug inside this cabinet.

I kept a folder for many years with all of my dream ideas.

Have fun!!

I love doing these types of things.

Walk in pantry

A side by side fridge with ice maker (we rent now and have a stackable and for my gluten free foods I have no room)

One of those huge 6-burner gas stoves, stainless steel.

All my appliances I would prefer to be stainless steel.

A double sink with a spray gun

More cabinet space

An island

Isn't it fun to dream :)

I don't really care for the side-by side frigs. So, I'd like the one that has the freezer on the bottom, black to match my dishwasher and oven. I'd like a new paint job and some wood flooring put in. The shelving that pops up the Kitchen Aid sounds great!!

Oh, can I also order a hot gluten-free chef with my new kitchen too?! :lol:

A chef!

An Aga Cooker.

Granite counters.

I had both of those in my old kitchen and am getting both in my kitchen when we remodel :). We're working on plans now.

TrillumHunter Enthusiast

Fun! I've been planning mine for years :P I want a separate counter with marble inset for baking, especially now. I'll trade my side by side for a french door fridge. Pull out pantry shelves would be very nice. A convection oven with a power gas top--they actually make these. LG solid surface counter top with undercounter sink is a must have. The only thing I'm unsure about is the floor. I dont want tile or vinyl. I love the look of bamboo but there is oak flooring adjacent to the kitchen so I have coordinating issues. :rolleyes: More outlets, many more! My husband says it would be easier to move-haha.

Since my husband and son eat gluten bread etc... I would like two kitchens. A regular kitchen for me to cook in and a mini kitchen for them (microwave, small sink, mini refrigerator, counter top and a cupboad)

gfgypsyqueen Enthusiast

Open kitchen florr plan to living room or den area

Indoor counter top grill

Gas range!!! We have electric now and it kills me!!!!

Double oven plus microwave

Side by side fridge with filtered water and ice in door (26cft min)

Any Fridge or freezer in garage too

Bread drawer

spice drawer

knife drawer

plus at least 4 more drawers :)

big pantry in kitchen

island with eating area (stools at counter min)

wood cabinets

pendant lights

under cabinet lights

bill pay/desk area

plus, of course, the free interior designer/decorator :P

I can't wait to remodel the kitchen ... someday....

Pot drawers! (Or should I say saucepan drawers. :ph34r: )

That's really the big thing. My knees don't work well, so I'd like to never have anything on a bottom shelf, but the drawers would eliminate me buggering up the ol' knees to root around for something in the bottom cabinets.

Easy to access corner cupboards. Yes, I'm living in a dream world. We have three bottom corner cupboards and while I am an expert and feeling around for the slow cooker, wok, whatever, and tilting it just exactly right in order to get it out, I'd rather not have to.

The other thing is a floor that conceals dirt. So, a mud coloured surface. But pretty mud :rolleyes: . With a dog and two boys and a Mom who hates mopping, a floor to camouflage dirt is essential.

I'm sure there's more, like a better fridge/stove, but those are the big three. The rest is wishful thinking. One thing I do have that I love is an upright freezer.

whee!! fun topic!! i love thinking about kitchens and cooking. i would gladly take everything listed above... plus pretty copper-bottomed pots hanging from the ceiling over an island in the middle of the kitchen. i don't know why i've always been fascinated with that!

loco-ladi Contributor

In my dream kitchen I want it open to the rest of the house, I have being "cut off" from friends and family when I cook and they are all visiting!

I want those drawers for the pots and pans mentioned above but in EVERY cabinet!

Corners will be outlawed!!! I hate searching and finagling to get something out (in my last kitchen) or the "lazy susan" corners where the stuff falls off into the back and you can even open the dang door (current kitchen) there HAS to be a better way! (maybe that free room designer will think of it, I would hate to see my free chef suffer needlessly!)

Laurelfla... I have the copper bottom pans... stainless insides (revere) and I do love them just dont have your hanging thingie for them or the island but I do like them.

Adelle Enthusiast

Everything ya'll mentioned PLUS a magical gluten sensor. If anyone has 1 speck of gluten on them an alarm would go off preventing them from having contact with me. Maybe that should go at the front door..... Yes. Oh and a levatation machine. I'm barely 5'4" so I can't reach hardly any upper cabinets!! It'd be lovely to use them!

DH and i live in an apartment (tho for an apartment my kitchen is good sized and well organized) so I dream A LOT about what our future kitchen will be!

Generic Apprentice

I like all the ideas, plus built in cubpoards or something to that effect for recycle bins. And somewhere to stash the stupid plastic bags I get from the store since I like to reuse them. Slide out shelves make life easier when your trying to find something.

      @MegRCxx, it is common for people with celiac disease to have other food intolerances as well. Most common offenders are oats (even gluten free oats) and dairy. Soy, eggs and corn are less common but not rare. So, factor into your consideration.

      Thank you @Scott Adams!! I will definitely have a read through these! If anyone is curious to what i had eaten and am worried about it was the tescos finest frozen bourginoun and creamy mash, only allergen stated was milk but it does contain yeast extract which i am aware can be a bit of an odd one. Once again thank you 🙏🏻

      The short answer is that it would be good for you to learn more about how to read labels, but sticking to looking for "gluten-free" on packaged foods is a great place to start. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):    If you have some time for a good read, here is chapter 1 of a full book published on Celiac.com that deals with the social aspects of celiac disease:

      I have recently started a gluten free diet (waiting for confirmation via endoscope biopsies) I had started to reduce after the biopsy and then had a McDonald’s which confirmed to me my suspicions so decided to go full gluten whilst on holiday as i wanted to enjoy myself, since being back i have noticed that i have got increasingly more anxious due to feeling sick when i had accidentally eaten some on holiday. And not im reading labels worrying if everything doesnt state is gluten free but the ingredients look like they check out may still have gluten in.  Im panicking myself making myself feel worse and seem to be at a bit of a loss, i dont know anyone else with coeliac disease and am finding it all quite overwhelming. any advice is greatly appreciated:)

      We've done some articles on this over the years: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=colleges&quick=1&type=cms_records2 You might also check College Confidential or Reddit’s r/Celiac for firsthand student experiences. Some schools, like the University of Arizona and Oregon State, are known for their allergy-friendly dining halls—calling their nutrition services directly can give you specifics. If you’re touring campuses, ask about dedicated prep spaces, ingredient labeling, and student support groups. A guide focused solely on this would be so useful—maybe someone here has found one?
