For many homes, the kitchen is at the heart of it, full of memories, creativity and family moments. A well-designed modern kitchen combines practicality and design, maximising space and amplifying a cosy atmosphere. One of the best ways to achieve this is by installing a kitchen island, which helps to enhance the experience regardless of the size of the kitchen.
Why a Functional Kitchen Matters
Whether you’re an avid chef, a parent on-the-go or you’re a foodie, a functional space is essential. Because it’s not just about cooking; it’s about being able to move around easily in a room that is organised and inspirational. A practical kitchen helps you create meals quickly and easily and that’s where the kitchen island comes in.
- It’s the perfect place to prep food.
- A kitchen island can be used for dining, and its especially useful for quick meals like breakfast.
- It can provide extra storage space and shelves.
Kitchen Islands Aren’t Only for Large Spaces
Let’s dispel the notion that only large kitchens can have islands. Smaller kitchens can benefit from the extra seating and storage space. We design custom kitchen islands to meet your needs and fit the overall aesthetic of your kitchen. We can implement multifunctional features, like making the island narrower or add wheels so it’s mobile.
Innovative Design Ideas
Contemporary kitchen islands are more than simple seating areas. They help to keep your kitchen organised and add additional countertop space.
- Integrate appliances like built-in dishwashers, washing machines and fridges.
- If you’re limited in space or want to create a dedicated food preparation area, you could install a sink in your kitchen island.
Create Additional Storage Space
For those with lots of cutlery and crockery, installing additional drawers and shelves can help you display them and make them easy to access, freeing up your cupboards.
You can also use shelves to display decorative items to add extra flair to your kitchen. For large collections of pots, pans and equipment deeper cupboards can be fitted for extra storage space.
A Place to Gather
The kitchen island can add a space for family and friends to gather around while cooking or enjoying a meal. It’s also the perfect way for others to enjoy the kitchen communally, turning it into a social space. You can add bar stools for seating or a bespoke bench.
Material and Style Choices
We can help you select the best kitchen materials to bring your vision to life. We offer designs that evoke traditional decor, such as the Shaker design; we also provide modern, cutting-edge styles that suit a contemporary home. We can implement materials like wood, granite, steel and more for a luxury kitchen design.
