Functional kitchen islands - perfect for any kitchen

A practical and elegant kitchen island is a dream for many people. It allows for optimal use of space, providing comfort to household members when preparing and serving meals. Elegant islands or peninsulas can be arranged in many ways depending on the size of the room, individual preferences or budget. The island is usually built from kitchen cabinets from the same collection as the rest of the kitchen, although not always.

Many modern projects combine different types of kitchen furniture. For example, a wooden bar with stools will work well as an island. Models on wheels or on a metal frame are extremely fashionable. A kitchen table with chairs can also function as an island. There are many ideas for arrangement, and elegant kitchen furniture at attractive prices can be found at Furnitop.co.uk.

How to choose the right kitchen island?

Kitchen islands should be ideally suited to the interior in terms of dimensions and functionality. A hob, dishwasher or other household appliances are often installed in the island. It is also an additional place for a worktop. You can have breakfast or drink your morning coffee at the island. It is a kind of center of family life. It will work perfectly in both a modern kitchen open to the living room and in old buildings, where the kitchen is a separate room.

On Furnitop.co.uk you will find original collections of kitchen furniture, including ADELINE cabinets – an ideal solution for a kitchen inspired by Scandinavian, Provencal or classic style. The ADELINE furniture set will appeal to both lovers of modern aesthetics and supporters of classics. White fronts will match many types of decor. The furniture is available in several color variants.

Two-colour collections, combining, for example, black with a shade of wood, are very popular. One of the proposals of our e-shop are MADERA kitchen cabinets , including a module for the oven and sink, a kitchen column, a hanging display cabinet, a cabinet with drawers and much more. With their help, you can arrange a full kitchen, including a practical island or peninsula offering additional storage space for pots, dishes, food products, etc.

Kitchen island in a modern arrangement: How to use it?

A kitchen island offers many possibilities. First of all, it helps to keep the room tidy, because it offers additional storage space. Secondly, it can act as a dining nook. Hanging lighting looks great above the island. Currently, white kitchens with wooden countertops are a fashionable solution. It is therefore worth deciding on a kitchen unit with white fronts, and in the middle of the room, arrange an island in the color of wood. An alternative to it can be a wooden table with chairs, for example the CEZI model with an oak-colored countertop, placed on a black metal frame.

Functionality and style: How to choose the perfect kitchen island?

Functional kitchen islands should have the right dimensions (no smaller than 60x80 cm). A small island or peninsula will work great in a small kitchenette. Under the countertop there is space for kitchen appliances, drawers for cutlery, and even an oven. In addition, you can place a sink with elegant fittings in the island. The most important thing, however, is to provide yourself with enough space for work - cutting, chopping, sculpting, etc.

A kitchen island fits any kitchen – regardless of style. So if you have enough space, feel free to place an elegant island or peninsula between the kitchen and the living room. In our online store you will find a wide selection of unique furniture at attractive prices. An example is the STILL collection, available in various color versions. White with wood will introduce a cozy atmosphere to the arrangement, while brightening the interior. It consists of hanging and standing cabinets, including models with drawers, glass, under the sink, hob, etc.

The optimal distance between kitchen cabinets and the island is 100-140 cm. It is important to be able to freely open the cabinet doors on both sides. It is worth remembering the so-called work triangle, i.e. placing the fridge, induction hob and sink in close proximity to each other. This will significantly improve the comfort of using the kitchen.

Kitchen Bar on Wheels: Practicality in Small Spaces

If you have a small kitchen, you don't have to give up the kitchen island. Instead of an extensive countertop, you can opt for a smaller kitchen bar on wheels, which you can easily move from place to place. Wooden, metal, with hangers, storage compartments or closed cabinets and drawers – the choice of models is huge. Thanks to this, you will be able to design an interior tailored to your needs.

Kitchen islands for small kitchens will allow you to optimally arrange even a small space. You will have all the necessary accessories, spices, bottles of wine or other food products at your fingertips. Bar carts have the advantage that you can place them wherever you want - by the stove while cooking, in the dining corner, by the wall or window (you can place fresh herbs in small pots on the counter of the mobile bar).

Kitchen Island or Bar Cart: Which is Better for Your Kitchen?

Modern kitchen islands are gaining more and more supporters. Regardless of whether you decide on a large countertop with extensive cabinets and storage underneath it or a compact bar size, you will add a modern touch to the arrangement. Which option will be better? In a small kitchenette, a smaller bar cart or a peninsula will work perfectly.

In a large kitchen open to the living room, a kitchen island will symbolically separate the relaxation area from the area where meals are prepared. Ideally, high stools or chairs can be pushed under the counter. There is room on the island counter for smaller household appliances - a coffee machine, toaster, kettle, etc. A wine rack will be practical and decorative at the same time. In the glass display case under the island counter, you can display elegant glasses. In our e-shop you will find a wide selection of countertops, including wooden and extremely fashionable models in the shade of natural stone (marble, granite).

Kitchen Island as an Alternative to a Table: Ideas and Inspiration

Custom kitchen islands are often used as a replacement for a traditional table in the kitchen and dining area. When arranging a kitchen with an island, it is worth remembering a few tips.

  • Leave some free space around the island so you can move freely between different areas of the kitchen
  • When deciding on an induction hob in the island, remember to install an odor and steam absorber. This can be a traditional hood hanging from the ceiling or an extractor hidden under the countertop.
  • In a small interior, a peninsula or a bar cart will be the optimal solution.
  • Make sure your island is well lit
