Table height kitchen island for hob.
Comments (3)Hi Judith, I'm not aware of any of the lower price point kitchen manufacturers (Ikea, B&Q, Howdens etc) doing different height units. However, the premium manufacturers (Miele, Porcelanosa etc) and any of the bespoke joinery companies will do units at different heights. You will probably be limited by the height of the oven or other appliances that are going into the island. Using lower feet on the units will also reduce the overall island height...See MoreKitchen Island with or without Hob for cooking
Comments (8)If you like to entertain, I would recommend not putting anything on the island. For several reasons: 1) It's great to be used as a buffet when entertaining a large group, 2) I like to incorporate seating around the island, because friends and family love to sit and talk with the chef during the food prep and 3) they are easier to keep clutter free, no dirty dishes waiting to be cleaned or grease splattered everywhere....See MoreIs our kitchen island big enough for a hob?
Comments (2)Hi - in UK that's an acceptable size and as a designer I would say that's totally fine - although most islands tend to be 900mm deep. In USA you'd need a bit more depth behind your hob - it's a min of 12inches clear landing space one side and 15inches clear the other side of hob then 9inches behind....See MoreSink beside hob or on Island?thoughts please!
Comments (3)Hi Dub M, Your kitchen looks great! We would suggest putting the sink on the back wall. The reasoning for this would be a clear island is very useful and also the hob run looks big enough to have both hob and sink. As you mentioned above if you are a keen baker the island is a great spot for this kind of work. Also when guest come over a clear island is a great place to serve from. Islands tend to be very social area so this is why a lot of clients like to keep them clear. There are pros and cons to everything, you must decide what works best for you. If you feel you'll get more use with the island being clear then that is the way to go. Please keep us up to date on your progress, The team at Modus Kitchens....See MoreOnePlan
