Seems weird not to incorporate it into the design -- I'm all about having things "look intentional" rather than working around them later. Like could the island have connected to this, rather than extending past it? or been L-shaped, so there's room for an extra stool, and also a wall cabinet? Anyway, hard to discuss that in the abstract without kitchen plans. I'm with miacometlady's original advice to not worry about it right now, and decide how to deal with it once the bulk of your kitchen is in place. You might find that you hardly notice it, with all the beautiful new finishes, or it might seem obvious to put some stainless or glass shelves there, or maybe simple is best and one simple hanging picture does the job. Don't stress about it until After. :)

Hi Option 1 As suggested by Cornerstone above. This way the TV will be visible from dining too Option 2 Move TV to the corner of the entrance wall, next to the window, placed at 45 degree angle. The L shaped sofa can then go to the diagonally opposite corner. The wall can be a see through book shelf/crockery shelf. This is better as the visitors have some inviting empty space as soon as they walk in instead of a sofa. Option 3 TV in current position, but instead of the TV being mounted on wall, perhaps have an open shelf (like below)

So you want to construct the kitchen along the two 7' length walls facing each other and along the 9' wall that joins them? It can be done if the space is used practically. But first please share your floor plan to show the position of the doors and windows too. Only then can once figure out how best to utilise the space

Hi, there are various ways where you can add up a compact bar. The kitchen sharing wall can have a wall mounted unit which can open up into a mini table for two, with this it can act as a space saving furniture. Also if space permits you can even incorporated a small bar unit storage with the Tv unit design.
