At present, the open kitchen is gradually replacing the closed traditional kitchen. The kitchen island is more and more popular with young people. What are the design forms of the island?
01 Understanding island platform
There is no specific definition for an island platform. In fact, it is a small counter in an open kitchen. It is a part of the kitchen and also the counter top of the kitchen, which can be changed according to your own needs.
What are the characteristics of the island platform?
The space is at least 1/3 of the kitchen space, so the kitchen space is too small to fit.
Flexible design, which can be used independently of other cabinets or in combination with dining tables.
The layout is simple, and the design is generally a combination of cabinet+table top and a sink.
03 Type of island platform
Kitchen independent islands
The independent middle island of the kitchen is equivalent to adding a counter top in the middle of the kitchens, with the operating platform and cabinets on both sides. Due to the limited space, the size is generally not too large.
Partition type island platform
The partition type island platform most often appears in the open kitchen, sandwiched between the kitchen and the dining room, serving as a partition, suitable for the kitchen with small depth and large bay.
T-shaped island
The T-shaped island platform and the dining table are put together, and the closed kitchen is reserved. The island platform and the dining table are combined into one in the living room, which is equivalent to a mini western kitchen and can reserve a space for breakfast.
04 Island abutment height
When designing the kitchen island, it is not only necessary to conform to the ergonomic height, but also need to reserve a certain range of walkways around to make the operation table more smooth.
With an open kitchen+island platform, the dynamic line of cooking and dining can be more smoothly connected, and a richer life scene will bring a completely different experience to life.
