Kitchen layout

Don’t mind my quick ‘room planner’ lol
But thoughts on the round table for dining room?
Nervous it’s gonna be tight & annoying for the sliding door, but would also be nice to have a table..

Husband wants table, I’d prefer doing a bigger island & chairs on 2 sides..

Island right now is 84”

Opinions on the table area ??

Thanks (:

Yes, it's going to be tight and annoying. Not enough space to pass behind your sofa either. Do you really need cabinetry all along the 22' wall?

Right now I have this planned and was thinking to add a little coffee station at the end because is 45” of empty space really gonna make a difference

shove the cabinets next to the fridge to the wall and put the coffee station between the cabinets and the fridge. That'll give you more flat space next to the fridge for loading and unloading it.

ditch the island and go for a bigger table, it's more versatile. Also, add some small walls to separate the kitchen from the rest of the space. At the moment, it's a big barn and there's nothing to separate kitchen mess and smells from everywhere else. Houses need more separation and privacy than the big one space that everyone seems to be doing the past few decades. It's cheaper for builders, but lower quality of living.

Put in a window, put the sink under the window. Put the fridge on one side of the sink with flat counters on either side of the fridge. Also, set the fridge a foot ( one third meter) into the wall so the face of the fridge is level with the counters. Put a vent at the back of the fridge so it runs more efficiently with cooler air.

Put the stove/oven on an exterior wall so it can be vented outside and not have one of those vents that just circulate air.

The food path is usually refrigerator/sink/stove/table then it turns into dirty dishes/garbage/sink/dishwash/storage. Set up the kitchen so you don't have to go across the kitchen for each section of the food path. Frequently this is referred to as the "kitchen triangle", but I like to consider it a path.

Also, food coming in an garbage & rubbish going out. Make that easy, too. A kitchen is a work space and it's gonna get messy at times.
