Due to some reasons I have to reconfigure the living, kitchen and family areas. I am not sure how the below setup looks like and would be great if you can let me know your views or changes you would like to see. The changes which I don't know how they would look like are - 1. Kitchen Island as 2x2.2 configuration which we will have done in such a way that it can be used as a meals area as well for 4 people. I have to do this as I was not left with much clearance space around island in the kitchen for a slim and longer island. 2. I am not sure which way I should keep the Media door - Towards Kitchen or Towards Family. Just want to make sure the media space can be opened and utilised along with Family area for a bigger gathering. 3. I am feeling that the space in between Kitchen Island and Media can be better utilised but not sure if I should make Media long long or do something else with that space. 4. Is Family area getting cramped or its okay ? 5. If I move Family in place of Media then would family become too dark as the property south is towards backyard i.e. Family is west facing and alfresco is in East South Corner. It would be great to have your thoughts please Thanks ! .

Kitchen islands are certainly not for every kitchen and I think in your case you could be much better off without island at all, with just an informal dining table (which you can move further down and fill in this space between kitchen and media and also free up a lot of space in the kitchen). You have enough working/cutting space in your kitchen and I don't see much of practical usage for an island over there. It is better to have Family/Living facing North and also makes complete sense to extend that french door with windows to the left and to the right as well as move that south family room window to the north. Do not put any windows on the West for your media room, put those small windows on the southern side (once you swap Family and Media).
