Wider walkways for sure. Where do the double doors lead? They may impact the fridge opening even though I think it's better in that spot. Move the speed oven to the pantry and reduce your island to get adequate clearances.

No matter the expense or size,kitchens that are actually worked in benefit mightily from

following the best proven configuration of : ice,water,stone,fire.

The butlers pantry was a common feature of large houses with multiple servants.

It was usually situated between the kitchen and dining room,and had plenty of storage for silver,serving pieces,table linens and all the accessories needed for setting the table.

It was a staging area,and often had a window looking out to the carriage way and guest entrance so that the butler and footmen were alerted to coming visitors.

It was also a spot where the butler could take a tea break in between polishing and counting the silver. In modern homes,it can incorporate an extra sink,dw,and storage for

appliances not in daily use, and serve as a place to offload used tableware until wash up .

Which room is on the other side of the two doors swinging into the kitchen? Those doors would be in the way. On the top drawing is it just an opening without doors? If so, that is better. I agree with the others that the configuration of the butler's pantry and what I assume is a pantry for dry goods is suboptimal. I also agree that 48" is much better spacing between perimeter cabinets and an island. I don't know the measurements of the island but I would be surprised if you will really have room for three people to sit comfortably. You need 72" for that. Are you moving things around in existing space or is part of what is shown an addition? It might help if we knew what you are starting from.

Here is existing floor plan. The french doors leading into the new kitchen from living room will be removed in either design that I listed above. The floor plan with the doors was a first draft and I dont have the second one in electronic format.

I would prefer the ref to the left of the sink. I would also prefer the dishwasher to the left of the sink as well so it is not in your prep space. The walkway in front of the stove should be more than 45" for ease of using the oven.

Is the wall between the kitchen and living room load bearing? If not, could you move it into the living room to give you a bigger kitchen? If it is, could you make a bigger opening into the living room so you could slide the island over about 6"?

Also, watch that island size - it doesn't seem to be wide enough to seat 3 especially with the side pieces. You need at least 72" between the 2 side pieces for stools.

God luck

I like sufficient landing space next to the range, so the second rendering doesn't give that.
