kitchen layout for main sink on island
Comments (3)Hi there, If at all possible we would suggest to not have the sink on the island. It is completely up to you, but we have found a lot of our clients like to have the sink against the wall. The sink area tends to be a bit messy with pots and pans waiting to be washed. You could fit your tall cabinets, hob and sink area along the back wall and leave the island completely clear of appliances or the sink. As the island will be a nice size it will give you tons of prep area and when you have guests around it'll be a great social and serving area. Do you have a plan of the room? We would be happy to take a look at it to help you along with the layout of the room. We hope this helps, The team at Modus...See MoreKitchen Island - hob or sink?
Comments (58)@Damian Farrell, the induction hob I've had since... what.. July or August? I think? Not that long. Took a while to get used to it, having always cooked on gas. Advantages: very quick, easy to clean, you can let it automatically turn off after a certain time. Disadvantages: sometimes the pans make annoying noises, has something to do with the resonance of the magnetic field I think? I don't know. But it can be a bit annoying. Make:Schott-Ceran, but the downdraft is from a Dutch company called Airo Design. Don't think they export to other countries. Anyway, almost every company does them now. Bora gets good reviews, Miele, Siemens... The videos on youtube show that the steam goes down and you think, yeah... right... But it really does go down. It works just as good, if not better than a regular one that is over the hob. I'm happy with it....See MoreHob or Sink - What do you do on your Island?
Comments (20)I hate islands. Why have a big kitchen and turn it into a little one? I reckon they'll soon be getting ripped out all over the UK like hatches were. Remember when they were cool? The secret of good hosting is to prep and cook as much in advance as you can, then sit and drink wine (or tea, vimto, absinthe etc if you must) with your guests. I'm a bit of a design snob, I admit, but these things have the stench of 'nouveau ' all over them. Don't do it people....See MoreSink in island - two dishwashers?
Comments (11)Given the enormous bifold I don’t think you have any reason to believe a smaller roof light would be insufficient. Separately you might need a creative solution to having no ceiling over the island to put electric lights into. Because at night you will need light in your working/socialising area of your kitchen you might want to invest in a portable lamp- these amazing miners lamps are available online and have a solar panel on top to take advantage of your oversized roof lantern during the day....See MoreGina P
