Island kitchen
The heart of modern kitchen design
Your custom-built fitted kitchen by Varia
A kitchen island is more than just a trend - it has become an indispensable element of contemporary kitchen design. As a multifunctional focal point, it combines functionality with aesthetics and creates a space for cooking, working and socializing.
What defines a kitchen island?
A kitchen island is characterized by its central positioning, which makes it accessible from all sides. This freestanding unit is a prime example of multifunctionality in the kitchen: it serves as an additional work surface, cooking zone, dining area and storage space all at the same time. Thanks to their flexible design, kitchen islands are available in various sizes and designs, allowing them to be perfectly adapted to any room concept.
Advantages of a kitchen island
The advantages of a kitchen island are manifold and contribute significantly to its popularity. Thanks to its central position, it optimizes work processes by shortening the distances and steps involved in cooking. Additional cupboards and drawers in the island provide valuable storage space for cooking utensils and supplies. The kitchen island also acts as a social center that invites people to cook and get together. In open-plan living concepts, it cleverly takes on the role of a room divider, defining different functional areas without compromising the openness of the room.
Design ideas for a island kitchen
- Integrated appliances: Stove, sink or dishwasher can be installed in the island to save space.
- Overhanging worktop: Creates seating for a quick breakfast or social get-together.
- Lighting concepts: Pendant lights above the island set stylish accents and ensure good working conditions.
- Mix of materials: Combine different surfaces for an individual look, e.g. wood with stone or stainless steel.
Planning your perfect kitchen island
- Note the room size: For a functional kitchen island, at least 120 cm of freedom of movement should be planned around it.
- Define usage: Think about what functions you want your island to fulfill - cooking, washing up, eating or all of the above?
- Power supply: Plan sufficient sockets for electrical appliances.
- Consider ventilation: With an integrated hob, an effective extractor hood is essential.
The kitchen island as the center of kitchen life
A kitchen island is more than just a piece of furniture - it is a statement of modern lifestyle and practical design. It combines functionality with aesthetics and creates a space in which cooking becomes a communal experience.
