Mainly talking about where the appliance placement is. Any advise, help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Not understanding why the pony wall in the middle of the island.

Never break up a counter run with full height cabinets (your double ovens)

Also not asked but corner fireplaces make arranging furniture much more difficult. You might want to reconsider that.

Would you consider a better layout that doesn't crowd everything on one counter? Are you amenable to having a prep sink and a cleanup sink?

What are your aisle widths?

Sina, it looks like the dining space is at the top right. Where the bar sink is.

Ahh thanks cpartsist, I missed the bar sink!

I am 100% in agreement with Sina's suggestion on moving your appliances. Especially your wall oven.

I would also suggest making your island slightly shorter so that the end of the island lines up with the left side of the fridge.

The way it is now it looks and I think will feel like the island is creeping into the door way.

Also agree with Sina's suggestions to move the double oven to the end of the run, put the sink where cooktop is, and move cooktop to where oven currently is. If you put the double oven where it currently is, you will literally never use the counterspace past the oven towards the fireplace.

I like H202's suggestion but I like the converse of that better. Put the ovens where the fridge is and slide the rangetop left a little more. Put the fridge and sink on the other wall with the fridge at the end of the run and the sink centered between fridge and corner. I, too, don't really like sinks in islands but sometimes they are necessary. In your case, you could put a small prep sink in the island.

@cpartist, I've known some people to use a pony wall under cabinets as an alternative to paying for cabinet panels on the backside or especially if they are doing a raised bar area.

Thanks for your comments! This is a new build. The island will not have a pony wall. It will be one same level counter top. Have asked the architext multiple times to fix that. I would love to not have a sink in my island but my concern about moving the sink is that none of the walls are outside walls so I would be staring at a wall with my back to everyone. I agree with the living room space but tried to make it 3’ bigger and it added lots of $$$ to final cost. My husband is insisting on the corner fireplace. Ha!

I like shead's plan, and I would also remove the island entirely. You don't need it and it takes up tons of space. Maybe hang a mirror over the sink if you are concerned about light.

The corner fireplace is a space hog. We had one in our last house and if I had it to do over again, I wouldn't have done a corner one. I even framed it up myself and had to use trigonometry skills to get all the angles right....lol. It did make furniture arranging more difficult.

I like shead's revision, but with the sink right next to the fridge, you probably don't need the prep sink unless you have two cooks working simultaneously. Moving the fridge there allows family to access it without interfering with kitchen work. I've never had an island, but I can see where using it as prime workspace might be tricky. I would eliminate cornering anything. You have room for the FP and TV to go on that wall with neither being cornered. You'll hate it otherwise. We hear so many complaints about working around corner fireplaces. Save yourself the trouble up front.

Here is what I'd do. In both cases I'd keep the fridge where you had it because it's closer to the dining room area.

The first version has the prep sink in the island. However I moved it down towards the fridge a bit more so there is room for prepping to the left of the sink and a wider expanse for baking, etc. I moved your ovens to the end of the run and the cleanup sink and dishwasher to that wall.

The one disadvantage is the cleanup sink is further from the dining room.

Thank you all so much for all your comments! It’s been very helpfu!
