A laundry area tucked inside large, modern kitchen cabinets rescues your washer from the basement to give you easier access, but leaves your guests none the wiser. If placed strategically, the cabinets can serve as an island that's as perfect for dinner prep as it is for folding clean clothes.

A stackable washer and dryer in the bathroom gives you a convenient place to tackle the laundry. Clothes can go straight from the bathroom hamper into the wash, and because this room already has plumbing, it should be a no-brainer for your contractor to install. The addition of a sliding barn door in this bathroom allows for privacy when clothes and people need to get clean at the same time.

Kitchen Island: How to Plan an Island Kitchen Design
Editor's Note: First published 2015, updated 2019
Found Associates
Island kitchens need to be gigantic [No] Not only a millionaire can buy his own island. At least when it comes to the kitchen. It is widely believed that only owners of huge apartments can afford island cuisine. Or at least huge kitchens. Indeed, in the interiors of a giant square, the island layout of the kitchen is almost a salvation from emptiness. nine0005
Douglas Design Studio
But the island can perform exactly the same task in a kitchen of quite familiar sizes.
Look at the photo and mentally remove the island from it - the passage will seem too wide. Without an island, extra steps would have to be “wound” from one work surface to another.
A kitchen island is a storage system [Yes, but it's not the only one]
An island is essentially the center of attraction for all kitchen life: a multifunctional kitchen area where all kinds of kitchen activities take place on one patch (actually, an island). There may be a place for eating, a sink or a solid working and cooking surface for cooking. nine0005
Indeed, the basis of a kitchen island is usually kitchen cabinets with various contents: from shelves for dishes to built-in household appliances. Their number and configuration determines the "capacity" of the island.
Hortlund & Co
Pictured is an island. The kitchen cabinet was expanded with a countertop, beating the ledge

You can sit behind the kitchen island [Optional]
Planned landing scenarios for the user kitchen.
However, this is a desirable but not required scenario.
What exactly to sit on is the second question. The height of a standard kitchen is about 85–90 cm, and the height of the chair is designed for a surface of 75 cm from the floor: it will be uncomfortable on a regular stool. Bar required.
Nobilia Moscow monobrand kitchen showrooms
Fact: An island can look like an array of kitchen drawers. Sitting behind them is just plain uncomfortable. And then solutions are born, like a mobile bar counter, rolling over the island (forming a countertop).
Architectural workshop za bor
Kitchen island needed for zoning [Yes]
Even in a small studio space, an island can be used to conditionally divide the room into a kitchen and a living room. Or the kitchen and dining room.
The simplest possible design is the table island. Ask, why fix it tightly to the floor? The thing is that it may not be a simple table, but an architectural one - its position will affect the perception of space and proportions. Stationarity allows you to play with fulcrum, shift the center of gravity, bring electricity. An ordinary table cannot have a built-in outlet, but on an island one it is more than real. nine0005
OH, BOY! Interiors with a contemporary character
A sink is placed on a kitchen island [Yes, often]
A sink island is an engineering challenge. The supply of hot and cold water pipes, and most importantly, the device of a working drain will require raising the floor level, at least in a city apartment (in a private house, the possibilities for laying communications are much wider).
Author's design bureau Maria Chikunova SENSTYLE
According to current regulations, for the implementation of the flow, it is necessary to provide a pipe slope of 2 cm for each meter of its length. So consider: with a room size of 4x4 m, the center, and therefore approximately the sink, will be at a distance of about 2 m from the drain riser. Accordingly, it will be necessary to raise the floor by at least 10 cm, taking into account both the possible difference in floor heights and the diameter of the pipe itself. nine0005
But if we consider the same situation in the studio space of the kitchen-living room with an island, then the kitchen on the podium is a perfectly reasonable solution. The height difference serves as a conditional boundary between different zones.
Elena Gorenstein's workshop
Electrification and ventilation on the island [There are nuances]
It is not difficult to conduct electricity to an island or a peninsula.
In addition to the socket, household appliances can be built into the island base cabinets. A microwave or ice maker requires an elementary shelf or compartment to fit, but the hob also needs an exhaust hood. And this is where the nuances begin. nine0005
Anton Likhtarovich
Just like that, stretching ventilation ducts along the ceiling will only work within the framework of the loft style. To be in harmony with other design options, cooking on the island will require the installation of a second (sewn or stretch) ceiling that hides communications. In extreme cases, a drywall box on a frame that masks the ventilation passage. And the end does not always justify the means, especially if the ceiling height is less than 3 m. Those that resemble a lamp - as in the photo - work in recirculation mode. That is, they do not need to be connected to the ventilation duct. nine0005
Kartun Architectural Bureau
There are peninsula-style kitchens [Yes]
If the island does not fit into the framework of a small kitchen, you can stop at a compromise solution - a peninsula.
He acts in the "ocean" of space, while remaining connected with the "mainland" of the furniture set.
The peninsula is already possible on areas of about 8–12 sq.m and really improves practicality by creating two working triangles at once. And besides, it adds volumes for storage. nine0005
Geometrium - Interior design studio
The dining table adjacent to the kitchen set can also be considered a conditional peninsula. In this case, we are not talking about the usefulness of the design, but, as you can see in the photo, this option is also possible for 6 sq.m. At the same time, space is saved due to the adjoining.
The kitchen usually has one island [Optional]
Especially if the kitchen is very spacious and several people can manage the kitchen at the same time. Sometimes architects even plan twin sinks on twin islands. nine0005
Kronfoto
Rectangle kitchen island [No]
Indeed, to have a traditional island in a traditional kitchen, about 16 square meters of free space are required.
Johnny Gray Studios.
However, the island can also be of non-traditional design - we see an excellent solution in the photo of the project by British designers. The ergonomically shaped island with a worktop slanted according to the trajectory of movement in the kitchen made it possible to accommodate comfortably even in a modest area. nine0005
John Cole Architect
The predominantly rectangular and square outlines of the islands fit into spaces of regular shapes. But they are uncomfortable with their protruding corners. Fans of Feng Shui will definitely be against it. Corners do carry some risk of injury, especially for children. After all, unlike an ordinary table, the island is unshakable, which exacerbates the consequences of a collision. However, you can choose both a streamlined shape and a combined one - for example, the one in the photo: a sector one. nine0005
SF Architecture
From all the previous examples, it can be seen that the island is tolerant of different interior styles.
Many will surely be attracted even by such a decorative solution as a “desert island” in the kitchen. Kitchen furniture in the color of the finish seems to fade into the background, and on the first place there are a wooden board table top and dishes in ethnic style. Complete relaxation, you can eat with your hands!
Nataly Komova
There are islands with “relief” [Yes]
A multi-level tabletop will successfully separate the work surface from the place for a feast or a bar counter. nine0005
Olga Klevakina
An example in the photo: the upper level of the island can generally “go up to the sky”, connecting with the ceiling. Electricity, and if desired, water, can be carried through the top
Modern sewer pumping units are able to pump wastewater under pressure from the point of consumption to the sewer riser of the apartment, including vertically. There is always a place for installing fairly compact equipment in the depths of the island.
The diameter of the drain pipe, taking into account the load, can be selected to the minimum, so that the wiring of all pipes, water supply and drainage will require no more than 5 cm in height. Just keep in mind that the sewage pumping unit is slightly noisy during operation, and turns on automatically when the built-in tank is full. nine0005
Intimate Living Interiors
Fact: The island can have protrusions not only on the top, but also all kinds of recesses in the side parts. One of the most common is for placing chairs. But there are also unexpected options like the one in the photo: so that the bowls of pets do not roll underfoot, nests were provided for them in the lower part of the island. The feeder was set to the height and depth, taking into account the size of the muzzle. How convenient! The pet will no longer rattle dishes, moving them across the floor. nine0005

Kitchen Island: 90 kitchen island design ideas with photo
The kitchen island, as you might guess from the name, is a working module, independent of the rest of the kitchen furniture.
This layout has many advantages: you can approach the working area from any side, cook at once with the whole family, and the usable area of \u200b\u200bthe kitchen increases. Here you can place not only a cooking area, but also storage shelves, a sink, a hob. The design of the kitchen island can be very different - our selection of ideas will allow you to feel all the delights of island life. nine0005

1. Smooth out the corners
Due to the fact that the corners are smoothed out, you need much less space to walk around. Such a kitchen island made it possible to free up more space for the actual kitchen set.

3. Everything in sight
Don't be intimidated by the open shelves inside the kitchen island - the color and shape of the dishes placed there can create a rhythmic pattern of the room.

The U-shaped kitchen island is very roomy: cupboards for storing dishes, a cooking area, a bar can be easily located here. But for this option, you will need a fairly spacious kitchen so that you can freely approach the island. nine0005

The purity of the experiment
Since the working and dining areas are combined on the kitchen island, it is necessary to provide an exhaust hood above the hob. It must be the same or larger than the panel size. nine0005
Matt Podesta
28. Size matters
If the island hood is smaller than the hob, there is a good chance that grease will settle on the kitchen island.
29. Passing moment
It is also important to set the correct width of the passages between the kitchen island and the set. To ensure that nothing interferes with your movements, they should be at least 1-1.2 m.
Kim Duffin for Sublime Luxury Kitchens & Bathrooms
30. Keep level
A kitchen island can have a multi-level design: the work area should be on the same level as the kitchen set, and the dining area should be slightly higher.

35. High level
It is better to pick up bar stools for the island table - as the height of the island is focused on cooking, which takes place while standing.

36. A level below
In this example, the designers, on the contrary, placed the table below the level of the working area. The table top is built into the drawers of the island at the usual table height.
37. Light at different levels
The dining area in this kitchen island is higher than the working area: this difference is reflected in the height of the pendant lights. nine0005
38. Three in one
This kitchen island consists of three modules of different heights - table, work area and shelving. This gives dynamics to an overly homogeneous interior.
