Which order should kitchen sink/cooker/washing machine go?

[stev]

Only got a small space for sink, washing machine and cooker to go into, and the boiler is at the far right which means the cooker can't go there. Which order would you recommend? Sink has to go far left, then its currently washing machine, cooker, drawers - but does that leave hobs too near boiler?

Alternatively sink, cooker, washing machine, drawers, but would it be odd having cooker right next to sink?

Hope that makes sense!

I would want sink at window, cooker NOT next to the sink.

washing machine close to door, sink next with drainer over washing machine, work top, then cooker

Move the boiler controls to the return wall, move the cooker switch to under the boiler, then you have room for a bank of cupboards and an integrated extractor and a double outlet in the in the middle of the the worktop between the cooker and the sink...300mm is all that is needed from sink edge.

The most efficient "work triangle" for cooking has the sink, fridge and cooker at the three points of a triangle, as close as possible to each other, but as stated above you don't want the sink right next to the hob. That said I once lived in a flat where the hob was right next to the stainless steel drainer - so not quite hob against sink. That hob had a fold down top when meant when the hob wasn't in use the glass top could be folded down and used as a work surface. Simarly, if I could be bothered to put away the dishes off the drainer (well I was single back then), that, too, became a work surface and a sort of pan trivet

Sink, washing machine, cooker for me.

That would mean that the sink would have its drainer over the washing machine, with nowhere to put any dirty plates etc...

I had a mental picture of a sink/drainer combination thing.
