Kitchen island considerations
Size and shape
Even small kitchens can benefit from an island, as they come in various shapes and sizes. While measuring, ensure you account for at least 1m of clearance on all sides for safe movement and accessibility to drawers and appliances.
Consider the shape that suits your space: while most islands are square or rectangular, larger kitchens can accommodate L-shaped or double islands. For a unique look, a curved island can add visual interest to your kitchen.
What will you use it for?
If you envision enjoying breakfast at your island, be sure to include breakfast bar seating in your design. For enhanced storage, opt for deep drawers instead of cupboards; they provide easier access and can be customized with dividers for everything from cutlery and plates to spice racks and jar organizers.
Consider how you’ll use the island beyond meals. If you plan to incorporate a hob, ensure you have enough space for cooking, prep, and pan storage—the recommended minimum size is 1m x 1m. Lastly, think about adding pop-up sockets for convenient access to power while using blenders or food processors, keeping your workspace tidy and efficient
