This looks great! My only suggestion was going to be to combine the 15" and 9" base units to the left of the fridge, but it looks like that was done in the lower sketch showing the same view. And do as many drawers or pullouts as possible, as they make life so much easier! Good luck with your project!

why dont you add 12 inches to the island and place sink there? corner sink seems too big a compromise . You have very small amt of counter.....I'd want the right angle corner and no sink in that key spot.

@herbflavor I agree about a corner sink not being ideal, but as someone whose main sink is in the island, I tell everyone that is the thing I hate most about my kitchen.

The sink-to-dishwasher arrangement is awkward. It’s kind of behind you and blocks the island walkway. Go through the motions of people clearing the table, and scraping, maybe rinsing, dishwashering the dishes and utensils and pans. Does it work?

What about putting dishes away from the dishwasher?

What about making cold(ish) meals like cereal or toast, sandwiches, drinks for any meal? How is the flow?

Our Virginia condo had a corner sink and I loved it.

How much space is between the cabinets and the island?

Instead of that bar sink, I would put the washer/dryer there in a closet and incorporate your laundry room into the kitchen.

I like it! I've had one corner sink, with DW in a similar position. It worked really well. I like that your laundry is in a separate room. You get noise reduction, and the ability to set down a few baskets of clothing without making the kitchen look messy.. You might consider a pocket door there, so that you can use the wall behind for storage--narrow shelves, broom hooks, etc. I like the beverage cabinets where they are--presumably on the path to the dining room? Will there be a kitchen table in the area between beverage station and slider door?

You aren't labelling any room dimensions. Be sure that your aisle widths, counter edge to counter edge, are at least 45". 48" is better.

getting rid of the diagonal corner will help. the sink can be aligned in a 90 degree corner. the diagonal makes the person standing take up extra aisle inches and those passing behind from fridge to stove and back again will be forced to bump the corner on island or jostle the person at sink as they turn and pivot etc. Major traffic lane. pull the sink into a 90 degree corner if you think this kitchen needs the sink there

Thank you for all the helpful comments so far. The corner sink is preexisting and I'm going to keep it in place. I have two windows already right in the corner of the house so when I do dishes I can look out on my property, the mountains, etc. I don't want to get into putting in additional windows so sink will remain in place. It will work better after remodel as trash will be in island (or that's what's planned) and a bit more walkway width than I have now. I wouldn't have designed the house with corner sink but that's what i have to work with! One thing I am struggling with is that I wanted to have single upper cabinets doors to L and R of stove that each open away from stove but to do that, we would have to lose the symmetry. I am not crazy about having a cabinet door opening towards me on either side. Seems awkward to get items out when you're cooking. Thoughts? Thank you !!!

Oh, that's a really good point. You won't want a single door any wider than 24", but even that may look off with the scale of all your other doors. You could do a wider range hood, but not wide enough to account for 8" on each side, so your uppers would end up having to sit in from the base units and lose a lot of storage. Would you be willing to do a 2-shelf pull-out in place of your 20" 4-drawer base to house your oils/tall spices? Though make it narrow (like 9") and add the 11' to the base unit to the right. What items were you planning for those upper cabinets -- maybe some could go in the island? It sounds like you've already planned out where everything is going -- if not, do so. I've always struggled with what to place in that 3rd shallow drawer in my kitchen, lol, and would much prefer a 3-drawer like you have in your island!

This point you brought up also made me notice something else to consider: for your uppermost (short cabinets), could the doors be combined with the ones below? Not quite sure how to explain, but I did something similar, stacking a 20" on top of a 40" but used one 60" door to cover both. While tall doors were pricey, I actually saved because I needed fewer hinges and pulls. That's just something to consider. Your cabinets appear custom...I also just noticed the pantry cabinet to the right of the fridge -- could the door heights be adjusted so the bottom of the center doors align with the bottom of the uppers to the left of the fridge?

Just had one other thought on the uppers around the stove. You could have 2 separate cabinets on each side ~16" wide. Have the ones closest to either side of stove with hinges in the center/pulls in toward the stove for easy access. For the outer uppers, instead of a visible pull, do a push button opening mechanism. Still not ideal, but trying to get creative!

Please post a 2D layout with all measurements.

I had a corner sink once. Worst layout ever.
