Kitchen islands are my favourite things to talk about! Maybe I should do a whole series on kitchen islands alone! Sizing. Layout. Colour. Lighting for islands. Kitchen Island styles. The topics go on and on! What do you say??? Yay or...this one video is enough. LOL!
As I'm a retired contractor, don't forget that an island cook top with a down draft vent requires a duct for the exhaust and a sink requires a waste line with a vent and water lines. If your home has a pier and beam foundation with accessible crawl space this if feasible. If you have a slab be prepaired for a $10K to $15K plumbing bill to do the trench and tie in work.
Thank you, for this information. I am opening up my kitchen and inserting an island where the stove sits now. I wanted to switch the sink with the stove but we are on slab. That extra 10k+ is just now worth it.
This is John Maguire from Denver Colorado thank you for the tips. I’ve been a general contractor for 30 years never did an island but I’m gonna tackle it thank you very much for the tips God bless and stay safe
Brad the Pitts Mine was a wooden square with dark marble top. I had it painted white & took granite off & quartz countertop on called minuet that looks like white with marbling. I elongated it on each end to form a rectangle but rounded on ends. It matches regular cabinets & countertops. Going to mop today & just roll to the side mop & roll back. Still loving it but wish it had brakes but it doesn’t. But is very heavy not prone to rolling away.
As always, excellent advice. I totally agree with you on not putting the sink or cooker on an island.1) mess in full view 2)only a top gives a great wide space for food prep,rolling pastry etc etc etc,as 60cm tops are usually cluttered with small electric appliances. 3)should you or future buyers rather have a kitchen table one day....
Great video! Just wanted to add, if you are putting a sink in the island don't forget about venting the drains. A beautiful sink centerpiece can become and embarrassment if it "Gluggs and gurgles" when in use. Thanks!!
Great video I feel that all the information you gave me will help me make a decision about the island that I want to put in the kitchen thank you so much for this video👋🙌😀
I have an island with no sink or cooktop on it. I designed the kitchen that way but when I moved in the electric hob and down draft vent were totally in the middle of it. I think it’s very bad form having either on the island and yet it is still happening! Builders are not using good designers and in fact few designers even consider putting a window in the kitchen and a lot of kitchens are black holes requiring the lights on in there most days. I also think not many designers put electric sockets either side either.
The advantage of barstool-high seating, is that guests are closer in height to the chef as she cooks, which is less awkward than looking upwards to talk to her.
I love your videos ! have you posted a video of the completed/designed row house renovation from last year? I hope I didn't miss it. Keep the lessons coming, thanks!
Ugh... I'm trying to get to that. Now that the row house is complete, it's difficult to go back to those reno days. LOL. But it's coming. I promise you'll see the end result! Thanks for your interest! :)
I’m meeting with people at the design center in a couple of weeks. My goal is to have a bigger than normal kitchen island. Thank you for all the measurements that I have to consider!
Thank you, Thank you. That was a lot of very useful information that I was wondering about because I am considering finding an old piece that I can make into an island. Also I am considering having a few inches cut off my bar height stools and hoping they don't come out wobbly. Love your channel because of so many greats ideas to think about using in our home. Thanks again.
I don't know about having a cooktop at the island if it's a pro-style rangetop. The current advice generally is against using downdraft venting for pro-style ranges and pro-style rangetops -- especially at an island, due to the physics of dealing with air exchange (i.e., make-up air) and venting water vapor and smoke. For example, what about the capture of smoke from distant burners and the water vapor from any burner on the pro-style rangetop? Maybe the use of a downdraft unit for a consumer lower-output cooktop is doable but remains questionable for a pro-style rangetop that has a high output of BTUs.
I love how the cooktop looks in the island but I´m concerned about not having a backsplash specially if we do frying in pans. Can anyone share their experience ?
Would you do Part 2 for this video on how to style the island. Mine is quite big 2.2 meters (over 7 feet) I have my sink there and a basil plant (temporarily) but I don’t
Thank you for including measurements. Although downdraft exhaust systems look nice, I read they're not the most effective at removing odors, oil, and hot vapor from cooking. Nice aesthetic but functionality may not be the greatest.
what material do you suggest for the countertop of the island if you want to use it mainly for prep and a baking area in terms of function and maintenance?
Hi, thanks for your video . Is 1 meter (39-40 inches) good walking space between island and counter perimeters? Not a lot of space to work with , small kitchen. The dish washer is away from the island but the fridge , oven doors would be within the island space Your advice would be appreciated. Thanks
Thanks I’m looking for ideas in small to medium size condos in regards with kitchen layouts as well as corner sink usage and organization without a pantry and not enough cabinet space.
Question please, I am building a home in Mexico. All my doors y windows will be black metal. My kitchen will be two toned, black lower cabinets, white upper shelves y cabinets. Focal point will be a black metal range hood ( idea from a previous video of yours, thank you). slate and stainless, faucet, appliances, white porcelain sink below a huge black metal window. My question is the color of the hardware, ? should I use the same color hardware for the black lower cabinets y white upper cabinets? next question, please, since the appliances and faucet are a cool toned stainless color, could I mix brass colored pulls? what is your advice? Last question, in the adjacent room will be a pantry / laundry area with medium toned grey cabinets, what color hardware would you suggest? All ceilings will be exposed brick mexican boveda style with black steel. I love your tutorials.
I have a kitchen table that i want to use in my new kitchen as an island (remodeling old house) I don’t want to change the table much like enclose it or add doors/drawers. I just want to make it counter hight tastefully. Please advise!
What If your kitchen is extremely small and its a eatin kitchen aswell as cooking etc How Many inches/centimetres should the island/meal table be from around it?
I just found your channel, Love your style and ideas. As you asked for questions- do you know something about Bauhaus? How to decorate, what elements are typical? Found an article and are curious what an expert thinks. Thank you
@designchickee How do you feel about a large island for dining at counter height rather than a dining table? Prep space is more important to our family of 4 than a dedicated eating space in our small to medium sized open kitchen/dining. We’re also more comfortable sitting at counter height. Is having only and island a mistake? It’d also open up opportunities for more much needed storage.
Love your videos d way u explain n make it clear for us ,,,really appreciate your efforts,,,, cn u make video on couple bedrooms ,,,specifically with red feature wall ,,,,actually I have it, n not getting any idea how to give it a style ,,, I have one big wall with bold red n rest 3 with light grey walls
PERFECT I'm remodeling my kitchen an knocked down a wall to open everything up an put an Island in. I'm thinking of making my seating area with a radius so we can see each other without standing or leaning over the counter top. I've noticed most are a stright bar. What's your opinion. Can I send you some pics of my before an after progress an get your advice? Thanks love the video.
I have a problem with working triangle. Is it OK it we can have sink and stove on the island? What should be the size of the counter top? We need to have 3 chairs also.
Thanks for another inspirational and informative video! :) I would love for you to make one about wardrobes, especially for those of us who don’t have a luxurious walk-in closet.

We have a kitchen already built 8x10 and now we are renovating the house. We are removing the wall between kitchen and ding and planing only for two side counter. Still an island 4x5 ft is not feasible my architect says. But I am tired os u shape counter by now.can you suggest the placement of island such a way that its still workable?
Thanks so much for this video! I'm planning to add an island to my kitchen soon. Would you happen to know the name of that amazing blue on the island cabinets at 4:24? Please and thank you!
We are renovating our kitchen. Is it necessary for our island to be centered with the stove ? As it stands now the island and stove wouldn’t be centered. 😬
What do recommend for the cabinets under the island? I’m trying to finalize cabinets for a u-shaped kitchen and not sure what the island cabinets should hold. It will be a clean countertop, ie no sink or range on the island. Purely prep and seating. Thanks.
I want to have a cooktop (plus grill under) on my kitchen island ... so I can make cooking videos. How do I place the gas cylinder outside without running a pipe on the ground? (My place uses gas cylinders and concrete floors that we canot break to run a gas pipeline).
I have an island in the middle of a U shaped kitchen. I want to add seating but I can only increase the length of the island not the width, any suggestions?
Awesome tips. I've been trying redesign our island so the sink is relocated. It will be additional,costs but worth both having dishes piled up esp with big families. I like the higher b3ach seating area...Cheers for great tips. Best I've seen ever for kitchen. Q. Can you do a video on laundry design for families please?
42"? LOL. I've never had that much space between things anywhere I've ever lived in my life. If I provided that much space, I'd come home and there'd be an clothes rack, aquarium or a cat castle set up in there within a week.
In my opinion, raised Island blocks the messy view of work area. Flat one make kitchen looks spacious if not clattered, not just on the island top but also counter of back cabinets area. I can never be able to keep my kitchen showroom ready, raised Island would be my choice.
Hi designchickee i would like to make my island an appearance of floating in other words the support to be under the center i have a dilemma though, the dishwasher! Any ideas obviously i cant put anywhere else, in advance thanks for any advice

Can I make my kitchen island taller or do I need to follow the height of the countertop? Your input is very much appreciated. Thank you!
Hi there... Might be a bit awkward to have a 3" difference between the perimeter and the island. I'd hate it if you hit the edge of your island with something hot in your hands. So I would try to keep it as close to the 33" height as possible. Maybe split the difference? 34.5"?

@@deliasanchez201 Be sure to have electricity in your island and the plugs must be GFI'S if the island is within 6 feat of the sink
My architect suggests keeping sinks & cooking appliances off the island. That's fine if you have enough space in your kitchen. 😂🙏
Or put everything in the island and nothing elsewhere.
Dimensions to decide if your kitchen has room for an island is very helpful
Thanks for these tips.
I love how you actually spoke about specific measurments.
Thanks and good job.

Bought a house that had an island on rollers. I really like that & would have never thought of it.
My kitchen has traditional (white) cabinets and a FUNKY island on wheels. If the trend changes, the island is easy to repaint or replace entirely.

Hi designchickee i would like to make my island an appearance of floating in other words the support to be under the center i have a dilemma though, the dishwasher! Any ideas obviously i cant put anywhere else, in advance thanks for any advice
If you are a DIY person, some codes *require* an electrical outlet in the island. Something to do with not having an electrical cord dangling across to your counter. Might be an issue if you sell.
If you have the room, can you have a 54 " (4 1/2 ft) space between your wall countertop and the island?
