Is it possible to let me know the island size?! It looks perfect and I am currently having an island nightmare!

If you are going for a natural stone /granite etc type top - that might limit you, if you don’t want a seem, as they are only available in certain sizes . Also its wise to go for a size that you can easily wipe without over stretching yourself ! Think about how you will get it into the room too -as they can be pretty heavy !

If you find the right worktop installation company they can normally handle a join with little fuss making it quite seamless. It's normally best to speak directly to the stone installation company you're thinking of going with as they will be able to give you the best advise on whats possible, and probably have some images of previous jobs so you can work out if it will bother you. I Hope that helps a little Jess

If you have the space, definitely the first option, mine is 1200mm x 2300, I have no hob on island but it's definitely not too far to have conversation with someone on the other side :-). I'm just imagining it, if you have 900mm that is too close for guests sit, they won't have much space to put their drink down if the hob is right in front of them. Also it's a safety thing, if they are sitting down in front of you cooking they could potentially end up with oil on their face if it spits or having their face steamed lol. I'm not sure about having 4 seats in a row on the island, they do look nice in photos but what about when guests are sitting there and you're not cooking, everyone will be sitting in a row and it's hard to talk to people. I have 4 seats towards one end of the island, 2 on the one side and 2 on the other in a L shape, when I have people round, it's quite socialable as we can all see each other without turning our bodies or heads too much :-). Also as you have mentioned, lots of storage options in your first option. As clemfandan said, make sure you incorporate an overhang on the island on the seating area ( usually 300mm ) otherwise people will have no where to put their legs :-)

Hi Jon, I'm afraid your design does need a rethink. I agree with @jonathan that the diagonal corners date a space really quickly, also looking at the back of the corner pantry will be really intimidating so keep those to corners if at all (I don't like them at all!). Secondly, best practice says that the hob can't be in front of the window for safety. It was for blowing the flame out but I like to follow gas safety for all hobs. I also agree the island is small for the room. I think stick to a L kitchen so you can fit a bigger one, or turn it so you've got more length to make a feature. With a table for 8, I would consider using a large kitchen table as my island. I love a table (if it suits the feel you're going for) as it's such a family hub and a great height for baking (mixing bowls are high) and cooking with kids. This will then give you the chill out end of your room that doesn't involve watching TV over the table! If you'd like to have a no obligation zoom chat to bounce around some ideas, feel free to book a time on my website www.thekitchenladyuk.co.uk Good luck Emily
