It looks good, nice layout.

The basic layout looks good but could do with some tweaking, IMO.

You could reduce the width of the island and maybe a bit of the length. Reduce the opening into the family room and shift it south (on the plan) a bit. Then you would have room (I think) for a small table in front of the porch doors eliminating the seating at the island. You might want to switch those swinging doors for a slider or a single door with sidelights. (Just noticed that the porch doors are outswinging. The porch doesn't appear to be wide enough for outswinging doors. This could also be a problem in that the doors will probably have to be special ordered...and, you should take into account the exposure of the house and prevailing winds--which could slam into an outswinging door and either slam it shut or slam it into the side of the house....)

Also, I can't determine the aisle width on the plan, the aisle between the sink and island. It appears to be a tad tight. By reducing the island to something like 40" wide, you will gain some space to be able to open that aisle up a bit.

As drawn, there is a lot of wasted space...like the area in front of the porch doors and the 'hallway' behind the island.

Another suggestion is to use a larger sink under the window and perhaps eliminate the prep sink on the island. As drawn, the main sink on the exterior wall is actually closer to the cooker than the prep sink is.

?? What do the two black boxes on the plan, on the powder room wall, represent?

it feels like the passage from the foyer is tight given its the access point to the whole living area from the front door - since the whole first floor plan is not shown its hard to tell but the wow/welcome in factor may be missing?

Quick responses to questions so far:

ci_lantro - Those two black boxes are a pair of ovens. The porch beyond the french doors is an interior room that's chopped off in the drawing. That room is longer and wider than it appears in my wonky drawing, but I got tired when I got past the kitchen. Thanks for the suggestions!

deb s - The passage from foyer area is poorly drawn and not as tight as it looks, but it's true there isn't a wow factor because there's no direct path right from the foyer into the kitchen. A person either comes in through the living room, from the dining room, or sort of sideways off the foyer.

The prep sink seems unnecessary, it’s so close to the main Sink

Ephma - I would LOVE to get a range. Good idea!

The magic word may be 'peninsula'.

I think the right question is, for example, do you need a prep sink and do you prefer a separate cooktop and an oven over a range? What are your habits in the kitchen? Do you use it heavily? Knowing your habits and needs will help you design the kitchen space better. Functionality should be your number one priority in my opinion. Otherwise, this layout looks already great to me! Good luck with your project!

I think you could alleviate some of the issues changing the powder room/ pantry space

You could turn the powder room and add pantry space over by the garage laundry entrance.

I also moved the doorway to the living room over to get rid of the useless corner.

I am not a kitchen designer, but just some off the cuff ideas.

Your layout is close to a mirror image of my new kitchen (in the works), except that my prep sink is closer to the fridge so we won't have bums bumping and people can rinse berries etc without having to enter "my space" too much (family of 6, 2nd sink is a must). I have large aisles, 50-52"" between perimeter and island, and 7' between island and pantry...and I will have pocket doors to the reach in pantry to eliminate the door/bar stool situation (which I have right now). How wide are your aisles?

I even have the same family room addition coming up but your living room is my dining room (my kitchen is moving to a new location).

I would do away with the prep sink, seems unnecessary. Also, consider a range. Could you extend a table off your island?

It's fun to read these suggestions! Some are very creative. I've wondered about a peninsula instead of an island. I've also toyed with re-configuring the pantry and powder room areas. Never thought about moving that living room door.

I'm guessing budget and spouse will both constrain the extent of this project, but we can definitely look into moving or eliminating the prep sink, adding seating to the end of the island, and considering a range.

For those who asked, the aisle between island and sink side is about 40 inches and between island and pantry/oven side it's more like 48 inches. The island itself is 44 inches wide. I think my sketch is a bit "off."

Thanks, all!

Definitely increase your aisles to min 48" to avoid congestion. I have 36" now and we have some serious traffic jams! If you go with a range and eliminate the wall ovens, you could push your pantry back to be flush with your powder room wall...and get more space between bar seating and the pantry.
