Builders are booked in to start in 2 weeks, structural plans are all finalised so I feel I now need to get a real handle on the kitchen design/layout now as I'm not great at making decisions on the hop.
So I would really appreciate any thoughts/critiques on our plan as it stands at the moment.
Both images are the same other than the island's rotation is flipped. Not sure which way would work better.
The fridge on the island is an under counter/integrated one. Figured we may as well resuse our current one and it can be used for milk/beer, etc.
The room does extend further than the picture shows, with room for a table, sofa, etc. We do have another totally separate living room.
I was thinking that the back wall would be a bank of floor to ceiling units ( bit like the 3rd pic which I have saved from pinterest but I have a feeling it's maybe Bax's from the extension thread ) incorporating tall integrated freezer, fridge, ovens side by side and a larder/cupboard either side.
Thanks in advance. Please nit pick away - there's bound to be lots I haven't thought of/totally overlooked.

Newsflash.....the wood burner is moving Grin Grin] Grin
We have an appt tomorrow at Wren as it's nearby and they could fit us in. I need to see things visually but I think it'll be something a bit more like this but will also incorporate a prep sink next to the hob for draining veggies, etc. Ovens opposite the hob ( ish ) fridges and freezer somewhere, a corner larder/pantry type thing...plus we thought we could either have a narrow dresser type unit built in front of the chimney breast, or a shallow cupboard but we'll see what looks right.

Hoping they will send me back with the visuals so will update later.

Bubbles the dogs will no doubt commandeer a prime spot somewhere. One of our dogs is quite old now so he gets away with all sorts!

Oh and that was great knowing we could move the water to the island easily enough. Wasn't sure if it was possible.

Could you move the loo? You could have an amazing L-shaped kitchen with table/island in the middle if you didn't have that odd corner taken off like that.

No other spot for the loo I think. Plus it's partly under the stairs so a chunk of it isn't full height anyway

Well the visit to Wren was a disaster. Appt for 12, said the designer was finishing up with the previous people, come back in 20. We did, then an hour later still no sign so we gave up. Grrrrrrr.
Anyway - it helped having a look around and I've come up with this idea.

So hob and prep sink still to be on the island in front but what do you think of this idea?
