no room for an island, what is where the chair is? take photos of all four walls and a measured floor of existing layout. Doors and windows, etc.

you will get incredible help on here if you post a measured layout as @Lyn Nielson suggested - be careful with AI in this scenario - it is not picky about measurements and will often fudge details to make things look better - good kitchen planning is all about the inches

Is the dining room open to the kitchen? How about a photo of that?

can you add any cabinet storage on the perimeter of the dining room?

a very limited space, but I would swap the stove with the refrigerator so you don't have such a barrier as you look down the hallway. it would feel more open and let light into the hallway.

You'd have to upgrade the power source to handle the stove load.

I Always like a window over the sink, but your could also move the dishwasher to the left of the sink and get a kind of a wing/peninsula for more counter space, and a couple stools on the patio door side of the countertop.

Have you considered replacing the patio door with a single door to give you more kitchen space?

Considered doing that yes we can block off the dining room with cabinets for storage

I personally really like open concept layouts. They make small spaces feel much larger.

Since that wall is load-bearing, have an engineer determine what can be removed and where the beam and posts will need to go.

We removed the fridge load-bearing wall in this project and opened it to the dining room. The photos are the before pictures and in the link you’ll see the project after it was completed.
