Very often, designers, offering ideas for planning space in the kitchen, give an advantage to the layout in the form of as they say otherwise the islands. Kitchen islands are a room in the form of a letter P or G, where in the middle part of the furniture for the kitchen is placed. The design of such a space can be seen in the photo
The kitchen with the island will be an excellent way out of this situation for a free room, and the headset in the kitchen area will be plus to this along the corners. This will complete the premises of the kitchen comfortable and fashionable. Thanks to a similar layout in the kitchen, a couple of people will be able to walk calmly
Distinctive characteristics of island kitchen design
It will be difficult to choose the necessary option for decor and furniture and kitchen islands, because there are quite a lot of variations, photos of such solutions of designers are on thematic resources in huge quantities. But consider very popular variations regarding the island kitchen:
Corner option. Quite popular when selecting kitchen islands. If the kitchen is not very large, then it will save the place perfectly;
linear option. It is especially ideal in a kitchen design, decorated in the style of classicism;
P-shaped option. It is necessary to choose if your island kitchen is combined with a table room a la cafe.
The kitchen islands are again selected with a large room, and also when the kitchen is connected to the dining room or guest, due to redevelopment and repair
In the island kitchen, you can safely make very different style solutions, but so that the plus to this they were qualified and do not look funny. So, if your kitchen is made in the style of classicism, you can decorate it with various arched shelves, Philiencs, and other decor objects. And if you select today’s types of image, then the kitchen must be a cold maximum in terms of decor
Gently choose colors for the kitchen, do not abuse the dark, because this color visually “absorbs” the room, but the bright, on the contrary, increases and makes it more voluminous.
Placement of kitchen furniture
Thanks to the selection of island kitchen, you will get the opportunity to note two jobs at once. The main line of the room is placed without crossing cabinets in height, but the island itself may be larger or not exceed the main line of furniture
Using such a layout, you can accept the most “hot” in relation to the work in the kitchen. One of these places is considered to be a sink, where the hostess spends up to 60 percent of his own time, sent within the kitchen. The sink is most beautifully placed in the very center of space for work and at a distance of about 1200 mm from the stove and refrigerator from various sides
Freezers and refrigerators will be better placed in the corners of the room to save extension. Look carefully when placing objects of the kitchen environment, so that the distance between the refrigerator, sink and stove is small – this will make your kitchen anxiety easier
In addition to island layout, there is again a peninsula. It is a bend of lines where furniture is placed or a L-shaped layout. The peninsula is perfect when you conceive a universal room, for example, a dining room and a kitchen in one room or a kitchen-living room. Thanks to the peninsula, the kitchen is visually separated from the second territory and is a bar for a bar or a table for serving dishes
What is located on the “Island”
And so how to fill the central part of the kitchen islands? A good option is to fill out the components in order to. We want to present especially popular variations of the filling of this area:
washing and panel for cooking, divided with a wide countertop;
hob and cutting plane;
washing and cutting surface;
The hob and cutting panels, as well as a mini-muscle for small dishes, the main sink will be placed near the wall;
A mini-working surface for the preparation of juices, cocktails and light breakfast. Here they are able to fit very easily a kettle, blender, juicer, toaster and other mini-technology.
Very often the “island” is used in the form of a rack for the bar. Again, often the island part is only partially used in the form of practical, playing in the design primarily the role of decor
In the photo in the note, you can see that the “island” is again used as a place for equipment that is built: a car for washing dishes, a wine refrigerator, an oven and so on
Difficulties in installing the “island”
But kitchen islands are not only a fashionable sight in the photo, but also a lot of difficulties related to communications, installation and other issues related to the installation of the island
If you decide to send a sink to the island, this is one of the very complex procedures, because the drain of water will take place under apartments located below the floor, and for this, most likely, you will need to get permission and bring that you will not cause your own decision Neberty neighbors no communal problems
It is not very easy to resolve the issue of lighting kitchen islands. So, if a panel for cooking is carried out on the “island”, you will definitely need an extract with light sources. Plus, the light on the hood should not “beat” in the eye, and therefore you need to choose light sources, are able to scatter the light
Now about the hood itself: its placement in the kitchen islands asks for a special type of fasteners on the ceiling. This fastener must be beautiful from a design point of view, because, unlike traditional placement, you can’t hide anything in the corner
All the necessary communications should be carried out to the island part until the installation of furniture and appliances. To bring pipes for sewage in the direction of the washing on the island should be under a slope of 2 cm and 1 cm of the extension of the drain
At the step step, the electricians make sure that the contacts are firmly secured from the penetration of water on them, otherwise you can provoke a fire. It will be very better to bring wires on the floor, and not through the ceiling. It is undesirable to overload the surface of the island with technology, even a small one, or provide them with a good raking that can withstand a strong tension
If you have a desire to carry out the installation of island kitchen yourself, then at least for work with an electrician call the master so that there are no significant problems. Again, if you are not sure of your own artistic abilities and think that after your efforts the room will not look as beautiful as in the photo, then again it is better to use the services of an expert on design
