Mudo1991Hello everyone,
I need your help with kitchen planning, specifically with the orientation of the kitchen island. This also affects the placement of the dining table. Please excuse the presentation, this is from a free planning tool (Home-by-me) 😉.
Option 1 (Kitchen island 120cm x 270cm (47 inches x 106 inches)):
Option 2 (Kitchen island 240cm x 110cm (94 inches x 43 inches)):
For this second option, it must be noted that the walkways on both sides would only be 90cm (35 inches) wide, or the island would need to be shortened.
What do you think works better? Where do you see advantages and disadvantages?
Thank you 🙂

Good morning!
From my perspective, option 1 is clearly the better choice.
Both the kitchen island and the table seem to be “correctly” oriented in my opinion.
1. When standing or working at the island, you have a full view of the room and never have your back to the main living area.
2. Similarly, (almost) everyone seated at the table enjoys the same view of the garden through the large window. Otherwise, some would have their backs to the garden while others would be facing glare 🙂 (option 2)
3. Visually, the table creates a certain separation between the living area and the kitchen, which looks nicer than the long “corridor” effect in option 2.

Option 1 fits less well proportionally and extends too far into the room. Option 2 visually separates the space. A 90cm (35 inches) passage is sufficient. You can also comfortably face your family/guests at the table from behind the island and interact with them.

Kitchen island option 2, table option 1,
cooktop moved off the island; the TV chef is the only one cooking while facing the camera. He always says, “I’ve prepared something,” and that’s you.
If the cooktop remains on the island, shift it towards the window side with 30-40cm (12-16 inches) clearance for placing a pot, and on the aisle side allow 1.5m (5 feet) of countertop workspace.
