Planning a kitchen island?
It’s one of the most sought-after features in modern kitchen design — but it’s also one of the easiest to get wrong without expert planning.
Some of the most common mistakes we see include:
• An island that’s too large, dominating the room and leaving little space to move
• Or one that’s too small, adding little real function or storage
• Poor positioning that interrupts the natural “work triangle” between sink, hob and fridge
• Not enough clearance for doors, drawers, and comfortable walkways
• Awkward stool placement that interferes with cooking zones
• Overlooking lighting and electrical planning until it’s too late
👉 The right design makes all the difference.
A well-planned island should feel proportional, elegant, and practical — a seamless extension of your kitchen and a focal point for family life.
At The Brighton Kitchen Company, we create bespoke kitchens tailored to your lifestyle, with island designs that combine luxury with everyday functionality.
