What to consider when designing a kitchen island?
When designing a kitchen island, it is essential to consider the functionality and layout of the space. The location of the island should facilitate access to the main work areas: storage, cooking and washing up. It is also key to think about adequate lighting and the integration of sockets for appliances. In addition, the choice of materials should reflect both aesthetics and durability, while maintaining coherence with the rest of the kitchen.
Surface area required to assemble a kitchen island
To install an island kitchen, a minimum space of 15 to 20 square metres is recommended. This allows for comfortable circulation and ergonomic design. It is important to ensure at least 90 cm of distance between the island and the furniture or walls to facilitate transit and the opening of drawers and appliances.
Most frequently used materials
The materials most commonly used in high-end island kitchens include quartz, granite or marble worktops, which combine aesthetics and durability. The islands usually incorporate solid wood, stainless steel or high quality lacquers, offering resistance and an elegant finish in keeping with an exclusive design.
Types of distribution
Island kitchens can be adapted to various types of layout, such as U-shaped, L-shaped or linear. Each design allows the space to be used according to the user's needs, creating differentiated areas for cooking, storage and socialising, optimising the functionality and aesthetics of the environment.
