Well I’m not a professional but that’s the craziest idea I have ever heard. 5’ x 10.5’?

First and foremost, you need an overall kitchen layout overhaul. The way you have it now is inefficient for *actually* cooking OR eating.

***

As far as the island goes... your kitchen is already quite large, with plenty of counter space. If you want seating for seven in the kitchen, you'd be better off with a table. But I think that's the least of your concerns right now.

Edited to add: I just looked at the house's overall floor plan: you have no dining room, so an island would be your only dining area? No, that definitely is not a good plan!

Yikes...it looks like a landing strip. How much space does a dinner plate take?

This houzz photo shows a narrower, counter top height island, (with a sink) to seat 8.

My island is 6'5" x 10'5" and I have 5 stools, could fit one more but I think that is it. It is a super large island. and more like an L shape with an island, so not cabinets all the way around. Seems like your layout might feel a bit tight. I might mock it up with boxes to get a feel for it.

I'm not a pro, but this doesn't look like a good layout to me. The placement of the frig and range looks impractical. The distance from the sink to the range is too long, too short from sink to frig, and the island gets in the way of the first path. Which room does the door next to the frig lead to? What is to the right of the island on your drawing?

The island may theoretically be large enough for seven, but practically speaking I think everyone would be bumping elbows. If you're not already using a NKBA kitchen designer it's probably time to bring one in.

Carrie, thanks for the input. There is currently a small dining room off to the right when you walk in the front door but we rarely use for dining. As part of our renovation we are adding a new family room off the back of the house and turning the existing family room into the dining room.

Curious as to what make you think it's inefficient for cooking? Here's a picture of the rest of the kitchen elevations. Thanks again.

Kandrewspa, thank you for the feedback. The door next to the fridge goes into the laundry room. Those are 6' windows to the right of the island.

What makes it inefficient: you take your stuff out of the fridge, and bring it to the sink to wash veggies/meats, etc. Then you have to back track, walk around the corner of the island, hoping that you don't clip your hip on the way, and also hoping that someone isn't walking out of (or into) the laundry room at the same time that you're carrying an armload of dripping food over to the island, where you're likely to do the prep since there's just not much counter space on either side of the range, with those pullouts.

Then, you carry your food (which is still wet, but now chopped in smaller pieces) across the aisle to the range for cooking, again, hoping that someone else isn't heading to/from the laundry room, or maybe to the fridge for a beverage.

If you're going from the sink the the double wall ovens, you're not so likely to clip your hip, and you have plenty of counter space, there, for prep. Maybe too many steps, though, and you might still run into traffic, and now the dishwasher might be in the way.

Agree. You need a new designer. And definitely a second sink.

IMO no good independant KD did this design . Never have pullout shelves behond doors they will make you crazy. If you cannot reach across an island to clean it the island is too big I agree about the back track from sink past the fridge again to get to the range. A48" range is a huge expense to vent and honestly unless you cook for 20 3x a day you never need one. I run a catering biz from my home with a 36" all gas range 6 burner. even that was expensive to vent well.No venetian plaster ever in a kitchen and for sure not for a hood. You will need a prep sink with this design and honestly where you have the stools pretty much negates having the prep sink in the proper place . If you must have a TV it belongs where the seated people can see it .Stools take 2' each so what you show menas the island is longer than 10' with the overhang. Get a real designer not some cabinet salesperson . I always tell my clients when looking at any kitchen design just imagine doing a really simple pasta , salad and some protein dinner and count the imaginary steps to do it.

Oh for goodness sake...your plan is fine. My main criticism is the location of the microwave/oven. Do you need three ovens? Or will this be rarely used? I sometimes use the microwave to thaw things I will ultimately cook or bake with, so I do not like how far it is from the main cooktop. If you can get the microwave closer and add a prep sink to the island, I think this would be a more efficient space.

5x10.5 is not crazy. Maybe a bit wider than normal but still fine. I think you will comfortably seat 6, but 7 will be tight. If you really need 7, get small backless stools. 
Agree with prep sink in island. Might think about a wider aisle on one side...3'-11.5" is a bit tight for seating aisles. I might consider putting the fridge in the lower right so it can be accessible to others without walking around the island. But it's also fine where it is.

Justin- if that drawing is to scale, that primary bedroom is teeny tiny. You will not be happy with that. And a 50" TV in the kitchen? If there will be 7 people eating there, you are better off with a second refrigerator in that kitchen.

I can’t tell from the plan— what are the clearances around the island? I’m worried that you won’t be able to get around or open cabinets/appliances if people are sitting at the island, . I really recommend getting a second opinion from a certified kitchen designer.

A prep sink in the island across from the cooktop is a must.

And a pocket door to the laundry would help with that fridge placement.

Thank you all for the comments and thoughts.

loobab: There will be a second fridge in the laundry room. The primary bedroom will become a guest room and a new primary will be added off the back of the house. I agree that 50" tv is probably too large for the kitchen.

Kristen: thank you for the feedback and the photo of the island. You're right, we don't need 3 ovens. We do use the microwave often.

10’5” island length will limit your slab selelection.

My island is 5’ x 12’ , i only have 4 stools at it, probably could fit one more easily, but mine are on one side only. i agree that micro location is off.

Btw, regarding TV size, the 50” Samsung Frame is only 25” H x 44” wide, I don’t watch TV in my kitchen , but that size doesn’t seem unreasonable considering the size of your kitchen. I have a 55” Frame in one of my rooms, it’s very unobtrusive since it mounts very flat to the wall & displays “art” when not tuned to television.

The only thing I would add about the frame TV is that depending on what frame you get for it, you may want to look at a smaller TV in that space. Otherwise the frame itself might cover your window trim. Unless you're not planning on using a frame for it, I suppose. The one we are getting is about 3" wider than the TV.

It’s a magnetic bezel that frames the TV, ours, in teak, adds almost nothing to the width.

@K Laurence, this is why I stated it depends. Yes, you can by the skinny bezel. Or you can buy a bigger one, like we did. I mentioned it so the OP is aware and plans for it. If it is supposed to look like art, it should also be sized like art for the space. And if he wants the look of a larger framed piece of art, he should plan for it.

Just a sketch. I know I'll get killed, but I'd worry more about cooking and eating in the kitchen and much less about the TV. It won't be too long before none of them want to sit with the others to watch anything because they'll grow to have different tastes.

bmorepanic: thank you for the different perspective.

I like bmorepanic's design a lot better.

-It flows the non-cooking traffic around the prep area

-It has the fridge on the outskirts, so people can access it without crossing paths with someone cooking or cleaning up.

-It has more comfortable seating (I'm assuming it's dropped down to table level)

-the fridge-->sink-->prep area--> stove is a lot more compact and efficient.

However the prep sink squashed between the fridge and stove doesn't do it for me. I'd move that to the island, across from the range. If you're feeding 7 at a time, you'll appreciate separate clean-up and prep sinks.

I like bmorepanic's direction, but if you want an island with all one surface, have you considered flipping the seating? A small TV could go above ovens.

You could have a wall of shallow storage as you enter from the garage/laundry, and encourage traffic to go around the work areas.

I would include a sink on the island for extra prep, snack prep, handwashing, etc., to keep those activities out of the main prep cooking zones. Primary prep could stay between the clean-up sink and cooktop, with DW and dish storage to the left. Trash pull-out on the corner of the island would be convenient to all zones.
