Ideas for filling a space in my kitchen. Help?

Asked by Jude (32207points) June 1st, 2011

Here are a few photos.

I would like to put something under the print/left side of the window. Should I put another plant there (to balance it out. Or, would that be plant overkill)? Or, perhaps a small table, or stand of some sort.? I’m not sure what to do.
Thanks.

You need to have room to open the refrigerator door so I would stick with a plant.

My first inclination was a small table, but then I saw that your refrigerator is in that corner. I’d leave it blank.

It looks like you could put chairs for the table that is there?

Put up hooks and hang different cutting boards and trivets. You need something flat on the wall.

That would be handy for the stove and cooking.

What about a low comfy chair to sit in and look out of the window, catching the breeze? With a wee table next to it for your book and wine glass?

@JLeslie There are a couple of chairs (bar stool type chairs under the table).

Thanks, everyone!

I don’t think the wall needs anything. When I look at your pics, I keep envisioning some sort of window seat/bench along that wall. Something open at the bottom to keep the window view and baseboard heater open and just short enough to cover a foot or so on either side of the window.

What about a antique stool?

I’m thinking leave the wall as is and put down a small rug to pull the space together.

I think it’s very attractive as it is. (And thanks for the pictures) The refrigerator door opening makes that area need to be open space The window is so close to the floor that I can’t see putting anything else there. I might put the large plant somewhere else and add a small rug under the table as @Adirondackwannabe suggests.

I think a red rug of some sort would tie the reds in with the red in the chairs and the paintings. You might want to think about two more floor plants in red pots of different sizes and heights and do a grouping in front of the window with the one you have. The little guy sitting on the window sill looks like an interesting planter, but is lost so low down. Perhaps a shelf at sash level so your eye is drawn up to look at him, rather than down.

I’m partial to picture calendars. I would replace the framed picture with a large calendar.

Could you maybe move the stove over some and switch the refrigerator door to open the other way? Most of them have options for that. Then maybe you’d have some “swing” room for the door and could put something you hadn’t thought of there.

A small table to act as a workblock/island.
