People like to keep islands in line with the cabinets but if the island is not encroaching onto another space it should be fine. In your case, it looks this will be more or less a passageway so it will be fine if you ok with the look that the island is off a little.

IMO it looks like you didnot finish the right side of cabinets and now the island is in the LR. I would do a nice u shaped kitchen with pull out pantries and forget the island I am not a lover of walk in pantries though so maybe get a KD to work their magic for a better layout. Where is your range going to vent for instance. Maybe a floor plan of the whole space to the left might be helpful

Here's more of the floor plan

Make the pantry smaller (or better yet put in a cabinet style pantry which is actually a better use of space) and move the door so it opens near the stairs. Then rotate the island. Or, make it a U shape or G shape which would provide you a better layout overall.

the island does look like its floating out to sea (maybe rename it an iceberg....?) which blocks the path from stairs to door. it would make me crazy.

if you need more evidence, lay out your planned living room furniture. there will either be ample space, and i'm wrong, or the island will really restrict your layout, and you should rethink.

but generally you want seating groups CENTERED on the fireplace, and you have no hope to do this as shown.

Have you considered turning the island around 90 degrees so it’s more parallel to the living room and putting your sink in the island and your oven where the sink is in your diagram? I’m currently going through a renovation and I feel your pain!

I like the idea of removing the pantry and rotating the island. This will allow more functional placement of appliances and sink. Have a read of this thread full of wisdom and humor. https://www.houzz.com/discussions/looking-for-layout-help-memorize-this-first-dsvw-vd~2699918

When you walk in the foyer and make a 90 degree turn into the living room, you run smack into the island. Not a good design. What's stopping you from changing it from a 7' island to a 5' island?

We would prefer to turn the island 90 degrees and do a corner pantry if possible. We are also open to a square island. We're just waiting to see what the designer comes back with. Thank you for all the suggestions.
