Advantages of a kitchen island:

A cooking island offers numerous advantages:

• Additional work surface:
  It creates valuable space for food preparation and can also be used as an area for communal cooking.
• Increased storage space:
  Cupboards and drawers under the worktop provide additional space for kitchen utensils and supplies.
• Social meeting point:
  A cooking island encourages cooking and eating together by creating a central meeting point for family and guests in the kitchen.
• Design flexibility:
  Cooking islands can be adapted to suit different needs, whether by integrating hobs, sinks or seating.
• Better use of space:
  In open-plan living concepts, a cooking island helps to structure the space sensibly without detracting from the open atmosphere.

Options for kitchen islands with seating

• Integrated breakfast bar: One of the most common solutions is to integrate a breakfast bar into the kitchen island. This counter can either be at the same height as the worktop or slightly raised to create a clear separation between the cooking and dining areas. This solution is ideal for quick meals or breakfast.
   
• Overhanging worktop: An easy way to create seating is to allow the worktop of the kitchen island to overhang. This overhang provides enough legroom for bar stools or chairs to fit comfortably underneath. It is a flexible and space-saving option that can be easily integrated into smaller kitchens.
   
• Two-sided seating: If the island is large enough, seating can be set up on two sides of the island. This allows for a sociable atmosphere where several people can sit at the table at the same time, while the cooking area remains in the middle.
