Here are some basic tips.

The island should be at least 80-90 cm deep or have a back wall. Ideally, the cooktop and sink should be about 80 cm to 1 m apart.

Place the sink faucet centered in front of the window so that the handles open to the left and right. Let the countertop rest against the window.

Always choose cabinets as wide as possible; each cabinet makes it more expensive and destroys storage space.

Avoid corners; corners destroy storage space (yes, even in corner cabinets, unless you choose built-in shelves-but they're ergonomically suboptimal), you're in the way of each other and block out as many cabinets as possible.
