Planning your kitchen island
A few key things to think about before you start.
Every room is different. Use this checklist as a starting point, and please contact us if you would like help checking what may work in your space.
- Space & clearance — Allow room to move, open doors and pull out drawers comfortably.
- Seating & overhangs — Plan stool space and worktop overhang before ordering panels.
- Storage & access — Decide which sides need drawers, cupboards or open shelving.
- Plumbing & electrics — Confirm sink, tap and socket positions early with your installer.
- Style & finish — Match or contrast with perimeter cabinets; confirm colour and hardware.
- Purpose — Prep zone, seating hub, storage block or mixed use — design around daily use.
