But a few points to consider: There isn't much pantry space in your kitchen of that size. What's the alcove on the opposite side of the kitchen backing the WIL used for? Perhaps put some kitchen pantry space and doors there? Your kitchen island is currently around 90cm deep. I'm assuming you're not going to use it as a breakfast bar and put bar stools on the other side, because if that's the plan you'll need to increase the depth a bit. You wardrobes are around 150-160cm wide and 45cm deep. I'd try to increase the width a bit (there's still a bit of space to the door) and increase the depth so that the sliding doors don't hit your clothes on the hangers as they open and close. And are you sure you'll need that "naughty corner" study nook in front of the WIL?
