Often the sink is placed in front of a window, but this is not necessary. The main rule here is that you should provide at least 18" to 24" of counter space on both sides of the sink. The sink base cabinet is usually 30" to 36" wide. The dishwasher should be located directly to the right or left of the sink. The dishwasher is almost always 24" wide and you should provide at least 12" of cabinet to the other side of it. See above illustration.
