How is the practical experience with a kitchen island?
Currently, I have a standard kitchen countertop. But I’m considering a kitchen island. I’m just wondering how it is with grease splatters and similar issues. Sometimes the grease splashes quite a bit, and the area around the stove gets covered. I’ve also noticed some on the floor, since my cooktop is only about 5-10 cm (2–4 inches) from the edge.
With a kitchen island, would this mean you need at least 20 cm (8 inches) clearance on the front, back, and both sides from the edge of the countertop to avoid grease ending up all over the floor?
My sink will probably be on the opposite side. How is cleaning handled in that case? It probably creates more mess if you have to carry dirty dishes across the floor, right?

We decided against having a kitchen island. Otherwise, only a peninsula would have been an option, and we would have had less space.
However, we have a preparation island measuring 90x140 cm (35x55 inches), which is finally large enough to prepare pasta dough and strudel dough on. Have I mentioned that my husband is the best cook and does this with great dedication?!

I actually don’t think your kitchen islands look bad at all. But it seems like you have a lot of space. I seriously wonder what you could possibly fit in there
At the moment, I have one frying pan and one pot, and that’s really enough When cooking for five people (and of course the fridge and pantry are stocked accordingly, and the necessary dishes are available), and if the lady of the house likes to keep a lot of food storage containers, the space runs out very quickly
