You could add the 30 cm to the drawers making them just over a metre each. They would likely house all your crockery, cups and cutlery- much more accessible than cupboards and easy to unstack straight from the dishwasher. This would ‘push’ your bin to the end of the run - handy for people outside the kitchen to use and easier to empty bins as well. This set up would also move the sink closer to the end leaving a larger uninterrupted bench space. It may also be worth considering whether you need a double sink. We have had a single in our island for more than 15 years - including recent replacement during a kitchen reno) with up to 4 young adults living with us at the same time (6 of us in total) and never found it an issue. This would free up more bench space and give you an extra cupboard as cupboards with the sink in them don’t have a lot of room.

I have a 300 cupboard and have chopping boards on top shelf and a couple of small appliances - toasted sandwich maker and blender in bottom as these get used on the bench frequently, Don’t forget to add PowerPoints to side of bench and make the cupboard pull out

Agree, the 30cm will come in handy. Our’s is a similar set up. We do have a double sink, because we wash our dishes, only using the dishwasher for gatherings. Therefore the 750mm of space from edge to sink is used for putting dishes prior to washing. As said use the cupboard for chopping boards, trays etc etc. set up recycle bins under your sink. Glass and paper, soft plastics, Nespresso capsules. That is what I’ve done and works a treat.

Hi Jillian, if you put a two compartment pull-out rubbish bin (like a Kimberly KRB06) in the cabinet below the sink, then you would be able to have another bank of 3 drawers 850mm wide on this left hand end.

Hope this helps, Malcolm.

Thanks Malcolm. We are wanting to avoid a bin inside a cupboard. Weve We’ve had that previously and the one action of pulling the bin open ia prefered over opening a cupboars and then pulling out the bin
