Sarah Beeny was very anti island units on Property Ladder and as I am thinking about putting in an island unit in my kitchen (though it won't be for a year or two yet) I thought I'd ask what other peoples experiences are cos I've not lived with an island before.
My kitchen is quite large and at the moment I seem to spend a lot of time traipsing from one side of the room to the other as I move between sink and hob and fridge and an island unit would bring things much closer together. I would design the kitchen so there is nothing 'kitcheny' on the other side of the island because I expect it would be extremely irritating to have to walk _around_ the island all the time.
So what does Sarah Beeny have against island units? I find her ideas to be mostly very sensible but I can't figure this one out.
