Island dimensions

Sofia Weinstock

May I ask what the dimensions on the island are? I'm wondering if I can get away with hanging three pendant light fixtures over an island of similar design shape.

Hi Sofia,

I dont recall the exact dimensions but I would think about 1500mm x 4000mm.

Kind regards

Nick

It really depends on how you like to use the space. Are you a big foodie - always in the kitchen experimenting with a new dish? Do you love to entertain with lots of people round for dinner parties? Or does the large dining table only really get used a couple of times a year? Do you eat at a diner table daily or do you tend to watch tv while you eat? Or are you really into films and chill out sessions? It just depends on priorities and lifestyle. Do you expect there to be children in the space or will it just be you for the foreseeable future? Etc etc, the more information the better interior design can help to make the space fit your life. I’m not an expert in this, I work as a luxury goods designer rather than interiors. There’s lots of brilliant professionals on here that can help though.

Help on kitchen layout

Yes true. I have a friend who has her loo as per Jonathan’s first layout, but the rest of her layout is completely different: her kitchen is actually at the back adjoining the dining room (so where Jonathan has put the sofa/tv area in his first layout). She has a peninsula facing the garden (but you could have an island) and she doesn’t have access through to the dining room, that is blocked off to allow more kitchen units. Then in the part nearer the garden she has a large dining table and a sofa. Dining table on the side nearer the kitchen, sofa on the other side. Would something like that work for you? I think you have room for kitchen, dining table and a (not huge) sofa, but not a full sitting/tv area, if you see what I mean.

Island or no island

We have a kitchen similar to your design with the big island and no dining table and find it great - we cook a lot and having a big island that works as a worktop and a table for meals is great, if difficult to keep uncluttered. I would add that we do have a big dining table elsewhere for when we have guests, so you may want to consider if you have space for it elsewhere. Islands also provide with good storage, and you can always put a sideboard or dresser where the armchairs are in that design of you really need more, so wouldn't really go for the design with no island and no table. Never had a peninsula but I can see how it may not be very practical in such a big space. Best of luck!!

Support brackets for worktop overhang on island
Q

We did this in our previous house (in US) - they builders built a steel frame and routed it into the chipboard/MDF/whatever goes under the actual worktop. It allowed an overhang of 450mm on both sides. It was a total bugger for them to do though and they didn't enjoy doing it. In UK (and probably in US too I expect), everyone's told me max of 300mm for an overhang so we'll stick to that this time I think.
