I have a L shaped kitchen. I have an area of 9'x7' remaining to put an island. Should I put one in? What size?
Thanks

I am in your shoes, but wondering if removing a peninsula is worth it to get the island I want.

I don't see where you have room for the size you want. You need more than 2 to 2 and a half feet clearance. Try taping off the floor or bring in a card table with a piece of plywood or cardboard on top.

There are great looking freestanding butcher blocks you can purchase online for around $700 that measure 2 ft. square.

It depends if you need it.

Can you post a floor plan and pics of your current kitchen? It is hard to tell without photos and a floor plan with dimensions if the island would help or hinder your workspace.

Besoin de conseils pour choisir les rideaux pour un salon scandinave

bonjour, ils sont très bien les rideaux que vous avez trouvé, le bleu est bien clair et dans les tons pastels que nous utilisions beaucoup en Scandinavie. Le bleu assortie pour le coussin est parfait. Si vous souhaitez vous rapprocher du style Scandinave il faut choisir entre rideaux et voilage comme on ne mets jamais le deux, beaucoup trop lourd pour nous intérieurs ou on essaye toujours garder une luminosité maximale. En Tunisie vous avez le problème contraire donc il faudra s'adapter et trouver une équilibre entre le style Scandinave et vous besoins. Si vous souhaitez avoir une voilage je conseillerai vivement un blanc uni, sans rayure! votre tableau bleu et jaune sera très bien avec l'ensemble, il est très beau!

Comment améliorer ce plan de cuisine?

Microwave next to the table would solve the bad looks and the height issue. Normally upper cabinets can be about 48cm above countertop, but since it looks better to have them on the same height as the built-in hood, you'll need 60cm. But if you're 1.60m you could consider a free hanging hood and some upper cabinets next to it, otherwise all uppers would be too high for you and you'd only use the lower shelf. And even better: Buy an oven with microwave function! (already posted that I think) Oven with microwave is different than microwave with grill. I even have a 12 year old tiny Panasonic combi that makes perfect bread and pizza!

Bonjour! J'ai déjà fait une publication à ce sujet récemment, mais je voulais apporter quelques précisions. Je désire installer un dosseret de céramique dans ma cuisine. Tout d'abord, je vais enlever la bande de céramique foncée existante puisque je la trouve trop foncée et trop chargée. Il y a une rampe DEL sous mes armoires. Enfin, la cuisine, la salle à manger et le salon sont à aire ouverte et les couleurs sont neutres (blanc, gris, beige, brun, noir). Dans les photos, vous verrez aussi les chaises et la table que je vais avoir. Sur la dernière photo, vous verrez un espace vide entre la cuisine et la salle à manger. Je ne suis pas encore sûr de ce que je ferai de cet endroit. Je n'y mettrai pas de meubles, mais je pensais à y mettre des cadres ou un tableau noir. Merci!

You need to keep at least 36" all around the island for clearance. That would leave you a 3'x1' island according to your 9'x7' dimension. It would be more helpful to have a layout or pics of your kitchen.

7 feet is too narrow of a space to put an island. You would need to have at a minimum 3 feet on either side (preferably more) for clearance. That would only leave you with a foot, unless you used something movable.

If you left 42" on both the 9' side of the kitchen and the 7' side, you'd have space for an island that measured 42 x 66" IF, and it's a big IF, if you have already allowed space to get by the island on the other sides of it. Do you have a photo you could show us of the kitchen please. If not, a rough sketch with dimensions would help.

Here's a layout of the kitchen and eating area. I made the dimensions accurate to scale 1cm=1ft.
Thanks for the quick responses.

A peninsula coming out from the left side there would be more appropriate than an island. You don't have enough clearance with the way your kitchen is constructed for an island.

The picture includes my proposed island (3'x4') with spacing to the Dishwasher being 3', spacing to the range and fridge being 2'-2.5' and spacing to the pantry being 3.5'

Hope it helps

Is your proposed island moveable?

As someone else stated, 36" (3') would be the minimum space required on all sides of an island. I'd prefer 42" (3.5').

The 2-2.5' between the island and the range & refrigerator is especially tight. It's a little tight by the DW also. Are you planning on having seating at this island? or is just a working island?

If you wanted a sittable isalnd you would have a depth of 36" leaving 40" from sink to island and island to pantry, OK. If you wanted just a working island you would have a depth of 26" thus leaving 45" from sink to island and island to pantry. As far as how long to do the island I would not go any wider than 39" leaving 42" from fridge to island and not incringing into the dining area.

I would agree with New England Kitchens on size and spacing. Don't forget that if you ever need to replace or pull out the fridge or range, you need to have adequate clearance to do so. I went 26" on my island to accommodate for extra clearance and am really pleased with the width.

Maybe consider extra deep counters instead so appliances can be placed near backsplash, allowing plenty of space for food preparation, etc. I wish I'd done this in our kitchen.

You could do a small moveable island or prep cart. I have one of these in my small kitchen and it gets lots of use without cramping the space.

You could put a decent sized one in there...your kitchen is about the same as mine...I just removed mine and am happy about it. I'm not completely done yet, and I'm keeping a mobile island as an option...was thinking about 32 x 52" type of deal, or smaller...also thinking of getting one with a drop leaf for bar sitting

It is also the last thing that may go into my kitchen, so I'm not worrying about it : )

Before you get deep into the island, I don't think there is enough space between the sink and the range. If someone is cooking at the stove and someone is prepping salad or veggies there isn't enough room for two. You could move the sink and the dishwasher closer to the eating area to get that space. Then, perhaps, a small peninsula with a place to tuck a rolling island underneath. Questions to ask yourself...how do you cook? Do you have young children that you want to teach to cook (or anyone else)? Do people like to pitch in and help?
