What do you think of this new kitchen layout?
Comments (25)Hi there, Many thanks for your positive comment. As a rule leave at least 1 meter between the kitchen island and the rest of the kitchen. If I have space I like to leave 1.2m/1.4m and at a push I will reduce this to 0.9m. Hope this helps....See MoreIdeas of what to do with the back of our kitchen bench/island
Comments (5)I would clad it in horizontal wide timber flooring planks. Myself I'd go a grey, weathered timber like an oak, the engineered flooring can be bout in packs, so a single pack would create a feature inexpenssively.

Natural timber softens modern interiors, relaxes and adds character to traditional looks like provincial or hamptons styles. The wide plank will enhance the flow as a walk through, but still provide an intersting visual texture to the adjoining lounge area....See MoreWhat do you love and hate most about your kitchen island bench?

Comments (11)In our last house we had a small peninsula bench that allowed an overhang with space for two barstools. Our new house allows space for maybe three or four. Realistically, it's nice to have a place that folks can sit on, drink in hand, and chat to the cook. I don't find overhangs on island or peninsula benches attractive for actually having a meal. At all. I think a lot depends on how much space you actually have. An overhang and a couple of barstools can give you a bit of flexibility without taking up too much room but if the space can be better used elsewhere, go for it....See More
