Want an island in your kitchen? IKEA+CUBRO is what you are looking for

You're imagining your ideal kitchen and... You think about your favorite CUBRO fronts, which modules will be the most functional, and adding an island!

It's no surprise, for several years now this element has gained prominence, turning kitchen islands into a true object of desire.

An island can be key in open kitchens, becoming the element that merges and gives achievement to the different spaces. But it can also be an essential piece in closed kitchens, improving their storage capacity and increasing their work areas.

Including this element can be a good idea, as long as you have enough space for it to be a functional and useful piece. To do this, it is essential that you can leave a free space of at least 100 cm around it, which allows you to open cabinets or appliances without problems.

If you have the right measurements, having an island in your kitchen is much easier than you think; you just need to analyze your space and the use you want to give it. Once you've defined it, the right IKEA Metod modules, combined with the CUBRO doors that best suit your style, can make it a reality, but before giving it the most appropriate shape... What type of island are you thinking of?

A point of support

A small island, approximately 60 cm deep and as long as your space allows, may be just what you need to increase your kitchen's storage capacity.

You can also turn it into a breakfast bar by adding some stools. A great solution both for connecting to other rooms in an open kitchen and for expanding the functional space of closed kitchens of at least 11 square meters.

Part of the work triangle

The functionality of a kitchen is largely based on having an optimal circulation axis between the cooking area, the sink, and the refrigerator, known as the work triangle.

If you have a kitchen measuring approximately 14 m², you can make your island an essential part of that triangle by integrating the cooking area into it. In addition to promoting natural flow of work in the kitchen, it will free up more preparation area on the main countertop.

By combining IKEA's Metod modules to create a 90 cm x 2.40 cm piece of furniture, and including the CUBRO finishes that best match the rest of your decor, you can enjoy a functional island that provides comfortable and effective circulation when cooking.

Wetland

You can choose to integrate the sink into this space, literally separating the different preparation areas. This way, you can prevent things from getting wet that shouldn't get wet, and you won't have to do extra cleaning.

Washing food and utensils, draining moisture, pouring a glass of water, and anything else that involves moisture will be centralized on your island, keeping the rest of the kitchen splash-free.

The complete kitchen in an island!

If you've opted for a disruptive and original design in your home renovation, and your lifestyle doesn't require a traditional kitchen that requires an entire room, but you don't want to give up a complete and functional kitchen, you can choose to concentrate all the kitchen functions on an island.

Incorporating the sink, stovetop, storage units, and a small refrigerator into this unit will be the perfect solution for creating a kitchen that blends seamlessly with the rest of your home. Are you up for it?
