Hey folks! This is my first post here.
Currently, our kitchen is a Tetris "L" shape and has a non-weight bearing wall that separates the kitchen from the dining area. Other units in our townhouse complex have removed the wall separating the kitchen from the dining area to add an island. Other neighbors opted for a different island size (smaller) and positioned horizontally to remain within the kitchen space without encroaching into the dining area (between the living room and kitchen).
We want to remove the same non-weight bearing wall but extend the kitchen area into the dining space to use the island as primary area we would eat.
The previous owners changed out the cabinets and countertops for the kitchen just before we purchased so I went to the store to obtain a rough mockup of how we would like to remodel our kitchen.
I'm including our current floor plan along with the rough mock up from the cabinet/countertop business that we plan to purchase the countertops and cabinets from.
As this is my first time remodeling, any guidance advice on the mock up would be appreciated (ie. distance from island to perimeter countertop, island overhang depth for seating at countertop height, etc). The dimensions of the island (inclusive of 12" seating overhang) is 48" x 90". Wondering if the spacing between the kitchen perimeter and island is too much and whether the island corner is too close to the corner wall of the bathroom that leads up the stairs to the second floor.
