colorlady's right - depends on where your drain is. My faucet is not centered on the drain, and I find that a minor annoyance. Just something I didn't think of beforehand.

There is no reason to not make an exhaust hood wider than the appliance it serves but I know of no national consensus code requirement that it be wider. A wider hood would shift combustible cabinets farther away from the appliance and provide more easy to clean surface but it would not provide additional capture or exhaust capacity; that would require a larger fan. After all, the hood canopy normally only covers about 2/3 of the depth of the appliance unless an exhaust insert system is placed inside of a larger canopy. I still don't understand the issue with the location of the cooktop. It seems fine the way it is drawn.

I agree with Beth and M.E. Light the island with 1 larger or 3 smaller clear or light toned pendants with a metal finish of your choice to match your theme or hardware, or hood, etc. Center it to the island, so that you can illuminate that work/visiting space. It looks like you can pull off 3, because your island looks larger. I am doing the same thing in my farmhouse kitchen right now. I have a very small island though, so will do only one medium sized pendant, and I have no real focal point in the kitchen, so I am going matte black with it, grey cabinets, white quartz countertops, and antique brass hardware. Good luck!

Hi Mousumi, We encountered this situation with another project of ours. We chose to align the 3 pendants over the kitchen island to light up the workspace. It also looks much better aligned over the kitchen island. We would also suggest adding 3 pendants instead of 2.
