A kitchen with room to pass
A narrower island gave two cooks room to pass and freed up the path from the back door.
Kitchen · Fictional case study
The starting point
In this sample scope, the back door opened straight into the cooking aisle. The old island had storage on one side and stools on the other, so pulling out a stool blocked traffic.
Scope of work
- Remove and replace cabinetry
- Resize the island
- Install counters, flooring and backsplash
- Add task lighting and reposition island outlets
Design decisions
- Painted cabinet doors
- Light stone worktops
- Brass pendant lights
Construction notes
Keeping the sink at the window left enough budget for new cabinets. The crew checked the floor opening and electrical route before setting the island dimensions.
The finished plan
The new island seats three, gives the refrigerator door room to swing and keeps a clear path past the prep area.
