I'm looking for a ceiling mounted extractor hood for a kitchen, however it has to be a 90cm one that also has an inline motor. I'm not looking to spend thousands, and I've seen one on eBay by Avanti that would have been perfect. The only issue is that its 100cm which makes it slightly too wide. Any advice appreciated!

Add a ceiling extractor ( heat rises !) As a general guide , if you had an extractor previously, then you need to replace with one that's is as efficient or more efficient when you update your kitchen. Technically this doesn't actually need to be in a specific place - so could be a wall extractor that's a bit more powerful. But to make sure you are being compliant, double check with your local authority before you order anything.

Hello. A lot of people underestimate how important extractor fan is. We have done a lot of large and luxury bathrooms for our clients. We have been using for many of our projects the following model: https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/SLTDK250T.html?ad_position=1o5&source=adwords&ad_id=45425533757&placement=&kw=&network=g&matchtype=&ad_type=pla&product_id=SLTDK250T&product_partition_id=174056537107&test=finalurl_v2&gclid=Cj0KCQjwub7NBRDJARIsAP7wlT-3YE78H7KmyUGh4rMvZMq88rs0bvOVkcD6gwI9OeenOWQ-7hQM57saAnQREALw_wcB  The problem with that fan is its size and that you have to plan in advance where to install it. It is a bit expensive but I find it worthy as you can not compare with the quality of £30 extractor fan. Hope that helps.

Option 3 is the best one. If you have the tall cupboards at the back of the room it won‘t affect the amount of light into the room. The peninsula works better as it keeps the kitchen space together (i.e work triangle). When you enter the room you won’t need to go through the kitchen to get to the dining/living area. just because you have enough room for an island doesn’t mean it’s the best option!! You could have a ceiling mounted extractor fan like the ones from Luxair so it doesn’t block your sight lines into the dining room/garden/living area. I would definitely keep the stools as they are always used. The ideas for the pillar are brilliant for extra storage. I would only have base units as adding wall mounted units will make the area appear smaller. Perhaps you could put a larder cupboard in the utility room for extra food storage. Definitely have as much lighting as possible. You could have the lighting set out into zones (i.e kitchen/dining/living) so that you don’t have to have the kitchen lights on when you are all in the living area etc.
