Island dimensions

5 years ago

Hello,
Beautiful design. Would you be able to share the island dimensions and placement of cooktop. I am at final stages of a similar design except with a t- shape to allow for eating area table. I decided to put the sink on the side to allow for more prep area. Trying to decide if I should go from 42” width to 52” to allow for more prep area near sink. But i am afraid it will look bulky. Thank you

Hi there! I would suggest that if you have the space (room for foot traffic passing by bar stools and the island would not be hanging out too far into an adjacent area) AND the slab size is big enough, that 52" is fine. I think the more space is better if you're combining eating + work space and it will only look bulky if the overall size of the island is too large for the rest of the kitchen. It would ideally line up with or be inside the line of the surrounding cabinetry areas.

This island is 10' long x 56" wide. Most quartz composite slabs are approximately 10' long by 5' wide, so you need to check the dimensions of your selected product and design your island size accordingly if you don't want a joint anywhere on the countertop. Some specific products do come in 'super slab' size, which is usually about 12"longer.

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.

Single wall kitchen with island. Is it possible with these dimensions?

@minipie I could put the fridge freezer on the main run of the kitchen, but that would then reduce the work surface on that wall - and the work surface is sure to be small as it is. If I turn the island 90 degrees to be parallel to dining table then it would mean that neither the hob/oven/fridge/sink would be behind me. I would have to walk from the island across to the main run for everything...... not sure how practical that could be. And if I did do that then, I would have a nice view while working at the island but anyone sitting on stools would be looking at the staircase, which wouldnt be right. @Heather - the space is already 5 x 6 m almost - I dont think we need to add an extension. That should be enough space for a decent kitchen with dining table. I dont need any extra living space either as we do have 2 large lounges. Keep the suggestions coming, thanks!

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.

I prefer the island option. im not sure what you want/need to include but it appears (by eye) to give the greatest amount of space. I’d reduce the island to 900mm and give the extra space between the units. You could have the plumbed appliances on the island and seating like this with a 300mm overhang for the stools. This kitchen is longer than yours but i think a tad wider assuming the tiles are 600. The island could be a lighter colour than the other units making it feel a but wider
