I would consider putting cabinets on the short wall where the utility wall is. Have your stove there centered on the area. Move the sink so it is centered on the long wall where the cooktop is now. Put the fridge on the end run of cabinets closest to the dining table. That will give you an L shape kitchen with a nice work triangle. If you have your heart set on an island remove all the wall cabinets and install a large island. This is not the style of your kitchen but it does show the layout I described above. L shape cabinetry with stove on short end, sink in the middle with DW to right of sink with cabinet above it for dish storage and the refridgerator on the end run so it is out of work triangle and conveniet to the dining area for serving or work triangle for prep and cooking. Island can be any style you desire. L shape with island and open across from island; you might consider this layout if you desire an island. Something like this?

Hi Shraddha, From the images posted by you it is evident that you already have your under counter storage planned and in place. However, if this is not sufficient for you, there are a number of things you can add to increase storage in your kitchen. Let's take a look - 1] The conventional overheads Pros: Adding overhead units provides you with almost as big a storage space as your under counters. All your additional utensils can be easily accommodated in these cabinets hence making the space clutter free. Also, since the cabinets have shutters, all the mess goes behind them and the kitchen looks neater and cleaner. You may opt for the regular swing shutters or the more modern lift ups. Cons: The overhead cabinets make the kitchen space look smaller. Go for light coloured panels/shutters to give it a spacious look. 2] Ledges Pros: Ledges come very handy for keeping frequently used items such as tea, coffee, salt, sugar etc. They look sleek and can add an aesthetic element to your kitchen space. Cons: Since, the ledges are always exposed to dust, cleaning is a task. Also, one needs to keep the items on the ledges in an organised manner to avoid a crowded and clumsy look. 3] Tall unit Pros: If your kitchen is big enough, you can always add a tall unit. This is big enough to house your grains, pulses and all other kids of items and can hold quite a lot of weight. It occupies somewhere between 1' 6" - 3" of space in the kitchen so opt accordingly. Cons: Tall units are expensive due to their hardware and accessories. It is not advisable to use a tall unit in a small sized kitchen as it requires a reasonable amount of space for operation. 4] Island Counter Pros: An island counter adds a lot of working space in the kitchen. It also serves as a good buffet counter or a breakfast table. You can opt for a regular table to serve as an island or go for a properly designed one with additional storage. Cons: It is suitable for a large kitchen with ample circulation space around it. 5] Accessories such as hooks, rods, baskets and stands Pros: If you want to do more with a limited space and not spend much, opt for accessories like hooks, handing rods, baskets, stands etc. They help you in hanging your spoons etc. and hold a lot of stuff which otherwise cannot be accommodated in your under counter cabinets. Cons: They have to be regularly organized and cleaned to maintain tidiness. Hope these ideas help you. All the best! Regards, RnD Atelier Nagpur

@Cornerstone design studio: Apologies for making big post; thought that more info will help. @Rupal ji, If it sounds like I dont need any changes; my apologies for that. Let me put it in short,"I am looking for options that give modern facilities without leaving good things from old charm/ comforts. " Thanks for the straight forward comments. I shall try to edit my original post to make it simpler and that looks open to new ideas.
