Hello everyone,
My name is Peter, and we are now entering the final phase of planning our single-family home. We have received the following kitchen layout (see attached photos). The distance between the countertop and the kitchen island is currently planned to be 1.08 m (3 ft 6 in) to keep the dining area from feeling too small.
What do you think about this? Would you increase the distance to 1.2 m (4 ft)?
Best regards,
Peter

Attached is the photo of our original design. We had a U-shape, but that resulted in even less continuous straight countertop space (see photo) and even less storage. A U-shape open to the window would have created very long walking distances from the main door (see photo) Funny! The kitchen layout is almost identical in shape, room positioning, and appliance placement to ours. Our kitchen will be installed in just under three weeks. I like it (apart from the choice of cabinet fronts and the wooden breakfast bar). 😎

Regarding the original question: we have planned 125cm (49 inches). However, it is not in use yet, so no experience is available.
