It is huge!! It's 4.5 m long by 1.2 m wide and does have a subtle join towards one end.

Dear Wombatchild The two double ovens are on that back wall. The distance from them to the end of the island is 2.6 mtrs. The bank of units is mirror imaged from the centre of the ovens and that means there are two slim pull out larder cupboards on that wall. That 2.6m means that they can be pulled out and it is still no problem for traffic to be flowing past. My hob is on the island itself and the extractor comes up through the granite when in use. That far end of the island is great for taking things out of the oven and checking on food ...... turning potatoes over etc... To the left of that bank of units is a door to my boot room so I need walk way space there. This thread is quite old now and I may be repeating something I typed earlier but I love my kitchen ( think it is about six years since I had it out in) ..... The only things I would have done differently would have been not to have stainless steel sinks as they are a devil to keep looking nice! And I would like more contemporary pendant lights over the island instead of those chrome chandeliers - can change them but still working on husband on that point!!!! X

Does this layout look weird?

Having looked at this a lot, i've decided that you really need to see it in context with the whole kitchen. Especially what's on the left. The boiler cupboard troubles me, as, it's more than likely going to be quite a deep cupboard. Deeper than some 'average' wall cupboards. Ours is both deep and tall, in fact, there's only 22cm under it and it's nearly 1000mm high with the plynth. Luckily it's in the corner like this one, but it throws everything off balance, I presume the kitchen is like this then, with the breakfast bar on the right. However, you (again i presume ), will have stools right by the door?I think you need exact dimensions of the boiler cupboard and where it is from ceiling to counter top in order to get a proper visual. The sink looks wrong. Also, bear in mind the boiler cupboard depth as it could be deeper than the average cabinet and so you need the depth too, do the cupboards need to be the same depth? I'm beginning to think that the boiler cupboard should meet the counter top and that the sink should move over, and the run extended right a little. I think in summary - boiler cupboard on counter top, move sink over and centre.

Structural Post in Kitchen Island?
Q

We had this in our last house. The post was extraordinarily useful as it housed plug and ethernet sockets for running stuff on the island, as well as the master heating controller for the house, and extra switch for the island pendant lights (H section steel beam, so lots of room for running cables along two sides of the post). Really did not detract from the kitchen very much at all, and was a lot cheaper than the goal-post steel that would have been required otherwise. I'll try to find a pic. You can also, as others have said, make a feature of it with a round post, or even just the painted steel beam itself for an industrial look.

Thank I you so much everyone. Daisy, I’m thinking the same as I can face into the room with everyone else while I’m cooking and watch TV etc, but my husband does have the concerns of people sitting around it near the hob... that he cooks lol, I guess that depends on the size that has yet to be determined. Unfortunately the area around my sink is never clear of dishes in a house with kids...so would definitely need A a bigger sink as suggested and B the dishwasher right underneath which I hadn’t really thought about to be honest. So a sink would also need greater consideration as this may appear messy in the middle of the room. It would be a gas burner hob not induction, so don’t know if that makes a difference to the extractor. Thanks, food for thought
