I like the idea of having no sink on island but it may compromise the functionality? It feels like there is some distance to walk between stove, sink and fridge?

So generally you would go from frudge to island. Island to sink. Island to cooktop. I have never had a kitchen island. Do you think its ok then to put the sink at the servery window? Is there any other advice you could give in terms of placement of any of the other items such as bins, pantry, tall cupboards, overheads, open shelves. Etc. I am clueless ππ Re: New kitchen design help needed 10Dec 30, 2020 3:05 pm Thank you. Your kitchen is amazing. Is it ok that we place our DW in the scullery? Re: New kitchen design help needed 12Dec 30, 2020 3:44 pm I agree with not putting the sink on the island. I think between the two some of it comes down to what's important to you. Number 1 has a bigger scullery, number 2 has a bigger laundry. Personally I think number 2 with the sink at the window is best. The scullery is plenty big enough and you have more space in the laundry. With number 2 is the fridge in the scullery? Looks like you have two of them. You need a bin in the main kitchen and you will also need one close to the DW so you can clean scraps. If you put the DW in the scullery you will have lots of walking to put away dishes but it will help keep the kitchen looking neater.

Do you think it excessive to install two DW? One of the main reason for me to place DW in scullery is because I'm messy. Also do you think our overall house plan is ok? Re: New kitchen design help needed 15Dec 31, 2020 12:19 am Installing 2 DW is a bit of a trend at the moment Personally I think it might be overkill unless you are a big family and do lots of cooking and entertaining. We are a family of 5 and get by with one. The DW ideally would be in the main kitchen so it's easy to put dishes away but the whole idea of a scullery is to have somewhere to put the dirty dishes and mess so it makes sense to put the DW in the scullery but try and get it as close as possible to the entry so you don't have to walk right into the scullery. Definitely have two bins. Install double bins one behind the other so you maximise your cabinetry for storage.
