@minipie I could put the fridge freezer on the main run of the kitchen, but that would then reduce the work surface on that wall - and the work surface is sure to be small as it is. If I turn the island 90 degrees to be parallel to dining table then it would mean that neither the hob/oven/fridge/sink would be behind me. I would have to walk from the island across to the main run for everything...... not sure how practical that could be. And if I did do that then, I would have a nice view while working at the island but anyone sitting on stools would be looking at the staircase, which wouldnt be right. @Heather - the space is already 5 x 6 m almost - I dont think we need to add an extension. That should be enough space for a decent kitchen with dining table. I dont need any extra living space either as we do have 2 large lounges. Keep the suggestions coming, thanks!

On Aliexpress the diameter given is of the overall diameter, here is a deep tone chime set on their site; https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33inch-Hanging-Wind-Chime-Large-Deep-Tone-Resonant-Wind-Chimes-Church-Bell-Outdoor-Garden-Yard-Home/32975926622.html?spm=2114.search0104.3.29.4c3c26462ghPcr&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_10_10065_10068_10547_319_10891_317_10548_10696_10084_453_454_10083_10618_10307_10820_10821_10301_10303_537_536_10902_10059_10884_10887_321_322_10103,searchweb201603_6,ppcSwitch_0amp;algo_expid=e37168ed-1610-4a32-ab42-8738116496b1-4&algo_pvid=e37168ed-1610-4a32-ab42-8738116496b1 Excuse the huge link.

Miriam Do you actually mean columns as in structural elements or do you mean decorative pilasters? The size of a column is dependant on the load it is carrying and if these are load bearing elements. I would consult an architect and an engineer. There are standard sizes but the choice is driven by the structural requirements. If they are pilasters. Then a starting point would be to talk to suppliers of the plaster replica's https://www.lassco.co.uk/a-pair-of-english-cast-plaster-pilasters or others. They should be able to give you some guidance on the choice and size modules. Hope this helps Best David

How narrow is the room? Need min 900mm walkway between fixed things (kitchen units, island, walls) - ideally 1000-1200mm really.
