Love the island. Dimensions?

10 years ago

Can you share what the overall size of the island is? What cabinet size(s) and how much overhang. Love how this combines the look and functionality of of cabinets on the working side and table "feel" on the other. Thanks much in advance!

To have an island or not to have an island?

I agree with many of the comments on here in that if they really work in the space you have then why not? However they don't work for every space and other ideas can make the kitchen easier to work within and still have an impact. In our kitchen a peninsular worked best. It is 90 cm wide so I have kitchen units one side and on the dining side I have a long shelf for all my cookery books, drawers underneath that, and a cabinet for our water softener. There is an overhang at one end with stools for 2 people. I could have fitted an island in, but it would have ended up much smaller and less useful than the peninsular, with less storage.

Oh, you sound so stressed! Other than the 3D rendering, I would recommend the old cardboard box trick to show how tight all the spaces are. Not only will you not be able to stand in front of your beautiful sleek drawers when you open them - you'll have to stand next to them - imagine coming in the door from the hall with a bag of shopping or your kids coming in with backpacks and then sliding through an 87 cm space. You need a lot more circulation space for a comfortable, working kitchen AND you won't be able to visually appreciate this island of your dreams where it is currently (as Jonathan said). Perhaps move the kitchen and island down in front of the internal bifold doors so you can see the island from a distance and gain more width and then have the seating at the end with the TV on the wall you already suggested, like this photo that J posted: Good luck!

How do I achieve the love island lighting look?

It's LED strip lighting. It comes on a sticky tape , can curve and needs additional fixing at the end of the strip to supply power to the tape. Just a couple of notes- some but not all can be put on a dimmer switch, there are difference colours available but in my opinion warm white is kinder to our homes, sometimes the cheaper ones don't look like one long light but instead look like lots of small individual lights and personally I don't like that so much.

Would you put in an island or not?
Q
Comments (13)
I would live in it for a while and try to put things where you will want to keep them and then give it some thought. For example, where the current cooker/hob is, there is not much worktop space for putting down hot things and it looks a little closed in with the upper cupboards - you may want to remove these. You may not know how you will manage with a single oven until you try. Looking at the first image, I would consider removing all of the upper cupboards and block of storage on the left wall where the fridge is. I like the idea of an island on legs as it would not look too heavy and could be in a contrasting colour. Will you be keeping the integrated fridge freezer of do you have an American style one? We lived with our truly vile early nineties kitchen for a year which was awful but it enable us to really understand how to design our new one. Good luck.
