Hi and thanks for the suggestions. The length is approx. 3m where the fridge is, so I think there will be room? . I think I would prefer the sink to remain on the island?

Thanks everyone for all your feedback and tips. Below is the plan I have come up with. Not sure how clearly it will show up. Have wrestled with the position of the ovens and sink - thought about swapping them and about having them centred but then think there would be too far between fridge and cooktop/ovens. Cooktop is 600m gas, then two below bench 600mm electric ovens, 900mm rangehood. Sink is double drain, double sink (1550mm in all). I know this seems excessive and against trend but I could not live without my double drain as always defrosting meat, bottles of milk etc and like to have one clean side and one dirty side of the sink. I love the idea of a bi-fold door appliance cupboard for toaster, kettle, microwave but not sure how practical it really is. Will the doors when open be painful and stick out near the fridge???? Do like the idea of having all that stuff tucked away though. What do you think of dishwasher position? Think I will make that gap between island and bench with dishwasher 1300mm as suggested. The only drawers I'm planning on having are a bank of 3 x 3 800mm in the island. I know that are more economical space wise but trying to keep costs down. Should add that behind the L-shaped benches will be windows as much as possible. Looking forward to your feedback. Thanks greatly.

Laminex and Dulux got together and have colour matched their white palettes. For example Dulux snowy mountains quarter matches the Laminex. White Linen. The lexicon Dulux paint goes with polar white Laminex. Go onto the Laminex web site and check out the colours. We did a kitchen in Laminex Polar White silk finish, the Chalkstone tops and Lexicon quarter paint with a grey oak flooring and Kit Kat tiles which worked well.

thanks oklouise for your input. Plan is pretty much finalised. Area/ alcove beside Bathroom will be for dumping shoes, bags etc, and the entrance to kitchen on that side is closest access from carport for groceries, and probably our personal access without stairs. The other kitchen hallway near Bed 3 will be the main access for guests to bed2 and 3 and bathroom. Yes our cooker is a big present to ourselves, we are both big cooks ( one chef), so question is.... can we get away with a cheaper cabinet style ?
