The minimum clearance space surrounding an island is 36". Ideally 42" - 48" is better for an area that has more traffic and work space.

Instead of worrying about the shape of the centerpiece, find something you really love that you that you think would work there. Don't become overly concerned with following some arbitrary design rules to the point you allow them to prevent you from going with things that suit your personality and that you love.

work out the wall space you want to cover, measure this on the floor. then start laying out our design within the space on the floor to create your design. There has to be lines running through the collage so there is a method to the madness- we don't want a messy looking arrangement, there must be a flow. You can line up the matts with outside edge of other frames etc. Layout all of your pics on the floor and mix up the frame styles and sizes amongst your layout. Take photos of your layout and then start hanging. My tip is don't start hanging until you have your plan 100% !!! lots of neck stretches too! i recently put together this collage and need a neck massage afterwards ;-)

I very much agree with what Beverly said regarding adding shutters to your home. You don't have the space on either side of the windows to accommodate appropriately sized shutters. Awnings would definitely be an option. Since you're in the Caribbean, you can add color by using a brightly striped awning. One shutter option that you could consider would be a Bahama Shutter. Since they mount at the top of the windows, you wouldn't have any problem adding them if you like.

Not having an island in your kitchen is against the norm these days, and I personally love islands as they're a good sitting space as well as workable when you're cooking up a storm.
