Deffo put the washing machine and dishwasher to the left of the sink. The needed deeper worktop is always nice. Easier with plumbing too.
Also, yes, uniform 60 looks nicer, but I also like wide 80cm drawers and then thin 20cm apothecary drawers next to them for spices and whatnot.Why do you want the island though? Is it essentially a very large cutting board in the middle of the space? That's where I'ld put the hob, with the full height oven and fridge across. Also why do you need that ashp thing in the kitchen? Can you not put it underneath the stairs to the right if fire regulations don't make that impossible?
IKEA still do these planning sessions with designers in store right? I really think you'd benefit. Also 3D helps to really see what your doing.
On a similar note, why squeeze the table in the corner?

Thanks, v top tips there.
Gonna move the dishwasher to the left of the sink. What's wrong with the washing machine in the island? Note: the washing machine door will be facing to the left, towards the windows/garden. This way, there'll be plenty of depth for the door to be left ajar if needed, and to swing more than 90deg open.
ASHP plant cupboard is incontrovertible, under stairs is way too low to fit all the gubbins in, and has leccy meter etc in it. We also need it as coats/shoes/hoover storage.
Dining table is tucked by the bench seating corner for obvious reasons.
Island breaks up the space, and adds necessary cabinet volume and integrated bookshelves.
Did a planning session with IKEA this morning, the dude had a few good ideas involving drawer configurations and larder design.

Managed to squeeze the ASHP plant cupboard down to allow for full-height unit with chest-height oven next to it, and made all units 600mm-wide to look unified (does this even matter?).
Green-coloured units are full-height. 800mm-wide hob now straddles three 600mm base cabinets, with 500mm worktop space to the right.
Thoughts?
