Important factors you should consider:

Custom-made x premade island

Deciding between custom-made or premade islands typically involves many circumstances. There are many things to think about when making that decision, from budget to usage goal. If the purpose of your island is to provide additional space, a premade island is a good fit. If you intend to add appliances to the island and use it as a completely functional part of your kitchen, custom-made might be a better choice. But don’t worry, our experts will guide you through these decisions and advise you on the better options for your project.

Available space

Space and location where you plan to install your island should be one of the first things you think about. There must be enough space between the island and the other items in the kitchen, like cabinets or walls. It is also important to keep appliances and fixtures at the proper distance from each other to ensure maximum functionality and efficiency in your daily routine, so the size of your new kitchen island also needs to be discussed at this stage of the project. 

Purpose

Another important thing you need to consider before beginning your project is the purpose of your kitchen island. This is important because it is at this stage that our team will plan which features should be added to your island. 

You will need to consider: 

• If you will use it only for the extra counter space;
• If you will use it as additional storage space – which will require cabinets; 
• Whether or not you would like to add fixtures and appliances to it; 
• If you want room for prepping meals and using it as an eat-in area, among other considerations. 

These decisions can only be made after you decide the main purpose of the island.
