Along with functionality and comfort, the central kitchen island is an element that opens up a space and makes it warmer. It allows the whole family to participate in the preparation of food.
The main island performs more than one function. It becomes the strategic heart of the kitchen or open space during the stay. To plan your kitchen island properly, accurate calculations of your kitchen configuration and area are necessary. Check out our gallery of more central and semi -central ideas of modern cuisine.
