Hello everyone,
I would like to get your opinion on the topic of kitchen islands.
We received a design from a kitchen fitter where both the cooktop and the sink are installed on the kitchen island.
The advantages are: most of the time when cooking is spent at the sink and stove, so it makes sense to have them next to each other. Additionally, when entertaining guests, you can keep the conversation going without having to turn your back on anyone. I can also keep an eye on my small child while washing up. Plus, there’s no splashing water between the sink and cooktop.
The disadvantages are: there is limited countertop space on the island, only about 50cm (20 inches) left. However, sufficient workspace would be available elsewhere, where we have a continuous 2m (79 inches) counter.
Dirty dishes on the island are always very visible, which of course spoils the aesthetic appeal of the island.
What would you do? Keep it traditional, or put both sink and cooktop on the island? Maybe someone has experience with this.
Best regards, Kathl

Is there actually a kitchen photo thread here? Yes, someone created one. But you're asking the wrong person to remember who it was and where it is. Usually, 11ant knows that kind of thing. 🙂
Our solution:
1 sink on the left edge of the 240 x 120 cm (94 x 47 inch) island (used most often);
1 sink with a draining board and the cooktop on the 5 m (16 ft) long countertop with (wall-mounted) base cabinets under the tall strip window.
This provides plenty of workspace and allows for easy collaboration. The little son also likes to sit on the island and be right in the middle of the action.
