Can I ask what size the island is please? I'm looking to redo my kitchen but it's only 5m X 3m.

Thanks

Love the pendant lighting, a really lovely open and bright space! The banquet seating in the far left looks lovely and cosy too!

Mine was an 800 before I removed the glass - the main fan section is smaller of course so I presume that it’s the actual canopy that makes the difference ie if the extractor canopy is 800 with an 800 hob then most of the steam that rises, should hit the top of the canopy and be drawn towards the extractor. Even though we removed the glass on ours, it will be set into a suspended wood canopy so in effect, the steam should do the same thing. I’m told induction hobs are super steamy, ha ha. We got a Neff extractor which is also v quiet so hoping it does the trick!

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 :-)

A couple of thoughts on the design that may help you replan...... There seems to be very little counter space between your hob and sink, once you set dirty dishes on one side and clean on the other, where will you prep? Perhaps you could put the hob in your island? Or move it or the sink to the other wall? It’s worth considering a change from your wall oven to fitting one (or two) under the counter one. You’ll get back the worktop space, and thus could easily move your fridge next to the pantry. We opted for two full size Neff slide and hide door ovens under our counters , one regular oven, one steam oven, with our hob directly above them and it’s one of the best decisions I made. I have the ergonomic and space benefits of a range cooker, but superior capacity and functionality for my needs. An induction hob not only looks sleeker, but effectively gains you work space too. You can stick a cookbook / chopping board/ etc directly next to your pot while cooking and it will be fine. Karen from One Plan is terrific and will draw you a proper well thought out plan. Alternatively a virtual planning appointment with Ikea will also result in a plan, and unlike Howdens, an actual price, too. Both companies work in standard cm dimensions....a 40cm wide cabinet is a 40cm cabinet is a 40cm cabinet. (One difference is depth and height.... Ikea units are a little bit deeper, and a little bit taller, so they have a little bit more capacity). Hope that helps.
