Around this central island, we prepare and share the meal or have a drink in good company. First of all you have to choose the right layout design. Do you opt for an open kitchen or a closed kitchen? If you want to create a closed kitchen, the minimum recommended area is 15 m² to install an island and facilitate traffic. The open kitchen is a choice that will make your kitchen island the focal point of your living room. It will delicately mark the separation between communicating rooms: everything will become friendly and will end your insulation when you cook!

The size of the island depends on the size of your kitchen and the desired functions. The island can be square, oval, rectangular or even of another original form. It is possible to create different levels by placing the corner of the bar higher or lower. The usual height when installing an island usually varies between 85 and 90 cm. For a harmonious layout, it is important that the central island is proportional to the size of your kitchen. The idea of ​​a central island is space saving. Its main function is to make the room functional and to facilitate circulation. The correct calculation of dimensions and proportions is of major importance for you to feel comfortable in the kitchen.

Do not forget the diagram of the activity triangle. The island is built around three main areas: that of preparation and cooking, that of washing and that which is called the cold zone. Optimizing space is a matter of thinking carefully about what the priorities are when installing the island. The best known configuration is that of the classic central island. There is also the so-called semi-islet or island on the cob. In case you have a small kitchen and you do not have the opportunity to have the necessary clearance around for a central island, you can place it along a wall. This will allow you to optimize the space, facilitate the passages and make your small kitchen friendly without isolating it.

The choice of colors for a living space is often difficult. We all have our favorite colors. Some like hot or cold colors, others wear only black.

And yet, this task is not obvious. Our living space is a set of other small ensembles. It’s like a LEGO game to build. Fortunately, the kitchen is one of those spaces of the house where you can afford everything. This dynamic space welcomes white as well as red, black and yellow.
