What to consider when designing a kitchen with an island?
When designing a kitchen with an island, it is essential to consider the functionality and distribution of space. The location of the island should facilitate access to the main work areas: storage, cooking, and washing. It is also key to think about adequate lighting and the integration of sockets for appliances.
In addition, the choice of materials should reflect both aesthetics and durability, maintaining coherence with the rest of the kitchen.
Surface area needed to assemble a kitchen with an island
To install a kitchen island, a minimum space of 15 to 20 square meters is recommended. This allows for comfortable circulation and ergonomic design. It is important to ensure at least 90 cm of distance between the island and the furniture or walls to facilitate transit and the opening of drawers and appliances.
Most frequent materials
The most used materials in high-end kitchens with islands include quartz, granite, or marble countertops, which combine aesthetics and durability. Islands often incorporate solid wood, stainless steel, or high-quality lacquers, offering resistance and an elegant finish according to an exclusive design.
Types of distribution
Kitchens with islands can be adapted to various types of distribution, such as U-shaped, L-shaped, or linear distribution. Each design allows you to take advantage of the space according to the needs of the user, creating differentiated areas for cooking, storing, and socializing, optimizing the functionality and aesthetics of the environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much space do I need to put an island?
Ideally, there should be at least 1 meter of free passage around the island. This way you can open doors and drawers comfortably and move without obstacles, even if there are several people in the kitchen.
What height should it be to work comfortably?
The standard height of a work island is usually between 90 and 92 cm. If you are very tall or prefer a stool-type bar, we can adjust the height to your measure so that cooking and eating is more comfortable.
What can I include inside the island?
In an island you can integrate a hob, sink, sockets, storage or an area for eating. We design the interior based on how you use the kitchen: more technical, more social or a mixture of both.
Is it possible to have an island in small kitchens?
Yes, there are compact islands and peninsulas designed for small kitchens. Sometimes a semi-island or a high bar offers the functionality you need without overloading the space.
