i generally prefer not to keep knives in a drawer. Get a nice magnetic bar (like this) for them and have them on display and away from where someone might cut themselves reaching into a drawer
If prep is on the island, knives might be better there also. Utensils by the hob, where you use them.
Spices by the oven - might get too warm, which they don't like.
Mugs & hot drinks between prep & cook means nobody can do hot drinks during meal prep.
Similarly, dishwasher by the oven - the other side would mean that it can be emptied at any time.
Does the island just have drawers on one side? It's all where the prep & cooking is being done - lot's of scope for overlap & being on top of each other.
