I have a sink, dishwasher and draining board in my kitchen among other things but for the purpose of this discussion I am focusing mainly on these three items .
The dishwasher is first on the left with a worktop on top.
The dishwasher is plumbed into a space next to the sink, on the right. It's a modern house, I believe that this space is Custom Designed to house a dishwasher.
The dirty dishes go atop the dishwasher, ready to either go into the sink or into the dishwasher.
The sink comes next, I call this section 'the middle'.
Under the sink is a cupboard space which also houses kitchen sink pipery. I call this space 'under the sink'.
To the right of middle (not unlike our protagonist's politics most days) you will find my draining board. Underneath the draining board is another built in space.
I use this space to house my washing machine.
This machine is different from the dishwasher inasmuch as this is used to launder clothes and other soft fabrics.
Occasionally harder things like training and sports shoes but this doesn't always go well.
The other side of the room can be addressed at a more appropriate time.
