Help with utilizing awkward space between kitchen and laundry area
Not sure what the people before us used this area for, maybe a breakfast nook?

I tried putting a small round table, but it blocks the way to the washer/dryer. A small table on either side looks awkward to me, especially up against the fridge.

What are some other options for this space?

Dytecture I believe this area was meant for a eat in table, even if it's just enough for 2 with the option to be expanded when needed.

Creations Nadia Interior Design would you remove the doors and put your FR there?

Jessi Hardy Behind the doors are our washer, dryer, and our water heater.

A Kitchen That Works LLC Would you consider a Table like this for under the window http://www.potterybarn.com/products/miller-rectangular-kitchen-island-wood-dining-table-stools/?pkey=ctables? Then you could put shelving units on the wall next to the fridge for added storage.

Jessi Hardy Bar stools and a small table was what I was thinking. But what about the opposite wall area?

groveraxle I like dytecture's drop leaf table idea. It would be versatile; you could pull it out and use it for extra counter space when you have to make a bazillion cookies for the bake sale.

sjkingston You could also do a built in blanquette on the left (keeping it small and narrow in scale with e room available and have a table that could be pushed. Up against it when you need to get to the laundry (similar in shape to the you have now but maybe with a narrow drop leaf that can be raised for more table space. On the opposite side what about a very narrow bench that could then be pulled forwarded for more seating if needed?
