Island kitchens are probably the dream of many housewives. With an island you can implement stylish and unusual design ideas, often seen in Hollywood films. It was from the West that the fashion for this element of the interior, even if not the most necessary, came to us. Despite the fact that most residents of Russia cannot boast of a large kitchen area, such a layout can still be implemented even in a relatively small room. And the IKEA kitchen island will just allow you to find a compromise between your dream and real possibilities.
If you buy a set at IKEA, then most likely you will look for the island there. Here the company offers 2 solutions:
- buy a ready-made island;
- plan from kitchen cabinets and countertops. Due to the fact that cabinets using the METHOD system are assembled as a constructor, it is possible to create a module of any size.
Let's take a closer look at each of the proposed options.
Spacious white kitchen with an island from Ikea in a country house
It takes ~2 minutes to read.
The owners have long wanted to buy a country house for a summer vacation, so they were actively searching for options. They drove around the outskirts of Minsk and looked at suitable houses. I liked the building where the school used to be located. Its area was 400 square meters. But during negotiations with the school owners, an old house was noticed standing in the tall grass. I really liked him.
The owner of the building was found very quickly. He didn’t need home ownership, so he sold it for a ridiculous amount. The price was only 500 dollars. Including registration, the cost was $1,000. The place turned out to be simply ideal for a comfortable life.
Attention!
An online 3D kitchen designer has launched on our website. You can get acquainted with it and design the kitchen of your dreams here completely free of charge!
Today the house looks completely different. Construction took two years. The building was purchased in 2007, and the move took place in 2009. Currently, only the first floor is residential. Considering all the upcoming work on the second tier, which has already begun; a completed garage, the necessary costs will be approximately 150 thousand.
The meaning of this building lies in the balance that was achieved. The owners work and spend a lot of time with their family. They don't eat meat in this house. But you always have fresh fruits and vegetables from your garden at hand. They are perfect for making dinner. Various herbs are collected for tea, which are incredibly beneficial. This is not just a home, but a special lifestyle. It is comfortable to live and relax here.
The kitchen was created as another room. The cost of materials is $1000. A birch tabletop was very expensive, but you could buy it at Ikea for much less. The style is quite simple. Columns are made and cabinets are installed in them. There are no hanging structures, and there is no hood. The last one was already done, but then the need for it disappeared. It was decided to abandon it.
The only problem is the space behind the cabinets. This is real happiness for mice. In winter, cats catch them. It is quite possible to wake up and witness bloody showdowns. That is why it is necessary to ensure that there is no free space behind the cabinets. In this case, mice will not be able to follow them. Foam was used when installing the windows. It also has holes made by mice. Everything needs to be redone.
