KITCHENS WITH COOKING ISLANDS

Cooking islands are becoming increasingly popular with hobby cooks. Many homeowners combine their quartz countertops with a quartz cooking island. There are good reasons for this. Do you find cooking alone boring? Or do you simply wish you had more space to realize your ideas for delicious food? There are many good reasons to equip kitchens with cooking islands. If a cooking island is available in kitchens, several people can work together more easily on the stove. The island becomes the communicative center of the kitchen and also looks very decorative.

Quartz countertops, island kitchens, and their numerous advantages

A cooking island is naturally a decorative design element. Moreover, kitchens with cooking islands are of course so popular because of their practical advantages. The island usually houses the hob. Those who like it particularly luxurious choose additional gas plates or a grill that is generally integrated into the quartz countertops. With a cooking island in the kitchen you can enjoy these advantages:

– Cooking becomes more communicative! You can cook with several people without getting in each other’s way.

– Short distances! Kitchen cabinets and countertops are easily accessible from the island.

– More work surface! You have more space to try out unusual creations.

Of course, it makes sense to equip an open kitchen with a cooking island. In open kitchens, there is usually enough space. But closed kitchens also benefit from the island solution.

Important tips for equipping kitchens with cooking islands

If you want to equip your kitchen with a cooking island, there are a few details to consider:

– If the stove is to be placed in the middle of the kitchen, appropriate connections must be available. The cables can be routed either under the floor or along the wall.

– Also for an effective extractor hood, the right connections are needed, either with exhaust air and a breakthrough to the outside or with a recirculation system.

– The size of the island should fit harmoniously into the kitchen and still leave you enough freedom of movement.

If you want to design open kitchens with cooking islands, you should also opt for particularly quiet electrical appliances so that the extractor hood, refrigerator, and dishwasher in the living area do not disturb. A strong extractor hood removes unpleasant kitchen smells. An alternative to cooking islands can be an open kitchen in a U-shape. The surrounding U separates the cooking area from the living room in a cleverly designed way and offers you more working space.
