A kitchen with a central island has more than one advantage. Whether the island is fitted in a large modern kitchen or an open-plan kitchen, it provides additional storage space and allows for the integration of a cooking appliance and/or a worktop, making it easier for several people to cook together. For many, it’s a wonderful meeting place for afternoon tea, pre-dinner drinks or just a quick coffee. Once you’ve tried a kitchen with a central island, you’ll never look back.

A piece of furniture with multiple functions

A central island does not necessarily have to be placed in the centre of the kitchen. When it comes to designing modern kitchens, bespoke solutions offer precisely this freedom to arrange the units however you wish. The island can house a sink or a hob (with an extractor hood above), or be extended with a worktop or a high table. The kitchen island may even become the most personal piece of furniture, which is precisely why it is such a… central choice.

Investment considerations

Depending on whether your kitchen is wide or narrow, its generous length naturally allows for a variety of layouts. The central island can be positioned parallel to the main units in your modern kitchen (worktop, cupboards, sink, etc.) or, conversely, placed at right angles to create a visual and practical divider. It can be transformed into a high table with bar stools, or combine a worktop with a dining table. Anything is possible.

Total design

Italian-style kitchen design is one of our specialities at BeHome Interiors. The central island is no exception to this trend in modern Italian design and offers a wide range of possibilities in terms of layouts and combinations. The combination of contemporary materials, the choice of modern appliances and the way in which you wish to use your kitchen with a central island will result in a bespoke design that looks absolutely stunning.

Cook and dine in one place

In a kitchen that is separate from the living room, or one that is large enough to eat in, the central island can serve as a dining table. Whether fitted with high chairs for a touch of originality or at standard height, a modern, made-to-measure central island can combine storage and/or cooking units with a table, which is sure to make the kitchen the most pleasant room in the house.

Design on the menu

The central island, a feature that has been highly popular with our customers for years in all types of kitchens, whether classic or modern, is a piece of furniture that has evolved to become a real focal point. Its design, its shape and the ways in which it can be configured to serve multiple purposes (as a place for culinary creativity, dining, socialising, working and conversation…) lend it a truly modern feel, reflecting the new habits we have adopted.
