How to choose and design a kitchen island?
A kitchen island is an elegant solution that perfectly complements any kitchen and its design and adds extra functionality. Find out more about the benefits of a kitchen island here, where we’ve given tips on why everyone should include an island in their kitchen project if possible – but it’s not always clear where to start and how to go about it!
First of all, as with any furniture or other design element, you need to understand what you need, how much space you can allocate and also what your rough expectations are for the choice of materials. It is important to determine what the island will be used for – as a place to sit down or as a place to store extra utensils and crockery? Or, for example, an extra surface on which to carry out kitchen work?
So every modern kitchen should have an island:
-functional
-tasteful and blend in with the rest of the design
-comfortable to use
-for a diverse
If, for example, you have determined that your existing kitchen project without an island has too little space for storing utensils, then you need an island that integrates various storage solutions from Vauth-Sagel and Blum, such as functional kitchen baskets or Blum mechanisms and utensil organisers. You can see these solutions on our website or ask our designers about them. It will definitely be a great investment that will definitely improve the pleasure of cooking!
It may be that you don’t really know where to sit guests in the kitchen, but there’s no need for a large dining table. In this case, you should consider designing the kitchen island with an overhang so that you can also sit at it and have a cup of tea or dinner.
When it comes to kitchen design and visuals, there are several ways to link the island to the rest of the kitchen. One option is to design the island in exactly the same shade and with the same materials as the rest of the kitchen project, or, conversely, to use different shades for the front island to make it stand out and bring a nice contrast to the kitchen. There is also a third option – choose the same fronts as the kitchen furniture, but change the surface choice and combine it with different materials to create a unique and truly elegant design solution.
