Kitchen islands can be divided into two types: "island" and "peninsula". The island is a functional design of the cabinet, independent of the cabinet area, and is generally used in an open kitchen. In addition to having a very powerful design effect, the model also has a very efficient kitchen workflow. Peninsula Kitchen, it is not a complete island. The word peninsula comes from the Latin "almost an island". The peninsula platform and the complete kitchen island are mostly functional, but fixed at one end. The peninsula is a small kitchen with both practical and functional functions, because one end is fixed to the wall, and it occupies a small area.
The functions of the island
1. Combination
The kitchen island platform is a versatile kitchen furniture, not just for putting food dishes, but also for bars and dining tables. At the beginning of the design, the kitchen island platform was mainly used to deal with the dishes cleaning. Then, according to people’s habits and preferences, the kitchen island was innovated and combined into a bar table and a temporary table. It can be used for leisure. In the kitchen, simple meals can be done without cleaning the table separately, and it can also be very convenient to operate and reduce redundant links.
2. Collection
The function of the kitchen island is not only reflected in the overall space of the kitchen, but also in the design of the island itself. It is used to collect various items, such as kitchen utensils that are not commonly used in the kitchen or wine and other related items in dark cabinets. In addition to dark grids and drawers, it is often designed on the kitchen island. The space effect is excellent, making the kitchen space neat and orderly.
3. Decoration
The kitchen island can be used to partition the kitchen space and increase the decoration of the entire kitchen space. The kitchen is usually independent. They can clearly distinguish the kitchen area, leisure area and other functional areas. In most modern home environments, the kitchen is mostly open design, with independent islands to separate different functional areas. This design can also add a decorative effect to the kitchen.
