Kitchen/ dining room has u shaped kitchen at on end with central island.
Large plates are stacked on edge in plate racks either side of the cooker. Smaller plates and bowls in cupboard opposite the cooker, in the central island. Work surfaces both sides of the cooker. Freezer built into one end of the island with fridge facing it. Other end of the island has bottle rack and lowered work surface for baking/pastry mixing, particularly by the grandchildren.
Sink and dishwasher are on opposite side of the room. Easy to transfer cleaned plates etc. to the island and put them away from there so the design triangle is not so violated as you might think.
We spent a lot of time designing the kitchen and decided that we have come up with a better one than the three "experts" that we consulted presented us with!
