ISLAS de cocina | Como elegir la isla de Cocina Correcta | Importancia de la FUNCIÓN ¡Con medidas!

#kitchenisland #modernkitchen #architecture I'm going to talk about the different types of islands you can have in your kitchen and the minimum dimensions for each. A kitchen should be primarily functional, so I'll tell you what to consider when choosing a kitchen island.

The first thing we need to analyze is the space we have in our kitchen. Not only must the type of island and its dimensions be considered, but also the space needed to move around it so that it doesn't hinder its use or circulation. Types of islands and their dimensions. Kitchen Island Classification While space must be considered, the intended use (or, as we would say, the functionality we envision) is equally important. If you haven't yet seen our video on kitchen layout, I've included it above for you to watch. Therefore, I classify them into four groups: Classic Island, Extended Island, Island with Breakfast Bar, and finally, Island with Side Table. Let's discuss each one. Classic Island This is an extension of the countertop work area. The minimum dimensions I recommend are 60 cm by 120 cm and a height of 85/90 cm. Extended Island This type of island differs from the previous one in its width, measuring 90 cm wide and at least 120 cm long. This type of island allows for drawers on both sides. This island is much more visually striking, and due to its proportions, I recommend it for spacious kitchens or those with an open-plan style. Integrated with the dining room. -Island with breakfast bar This island, in addition to extending the workspace, provides a dedicated breakfast area. Overlapping the island can be used to minimize width; choosing this option can result in a width of only 60 cm. -Island with side table A popular solution is to extend part of the island into a table. This allows you to share cooking time with guests while they comfortably enjoy a snack. For this, low, adjustable stools or chairs are recommended. This table/space can be wider than a breakfast bar. Remember that the kitchen is a work area and should be designed according to its intended use, adapting these uses to different kitchen layouts: L-shaped, U-shaped, linear, etc. If, based on these measurements, you realize that an island isn't a good option, don't... Don't be discouraged! You can opt for a table that can be easily moved and even used as an extra for when guests arrive, or a cart with wheels. It will be smaller than an island, of course, but because it has wheels, it adapts both inside the kitchen and if we need one on the patio or by the pool. Now that we've seen the types of islands, we have to think about what function we prefer to put on it, always respecting the order of use we saw in the kitchen video I mentioned earlier. You can place the kitchen sink, the electric cooktop with its corresponding range hood, or it can just be a work surface. This is a matter of personal preference, and each case must be considered individually. If it's a remodel, moving the kitchen sink might be very complicated due to its drain, so keep that in mind.
