Island Kitchen Designs for Puducherry Homes
An island turns the kitchen into a place people gather rather than a room they pass through. It adds a second work surface, hides considerable storage in its base, and can carry a hob or sink if the plumbing and ducting allow it.
Ideal for open-plan homes and villas
What to know before choosing a island kitchen
- Needs roughly 1 m of clearance on every side — plan the room before you plan the island.
- Base can hold deep drawers, a wine unit, or seating on the overhang side.
- Carrying the hob or sink into the island requires ducting or plumbing routed under the floor.
- Best suited to villas and open-plan apartments where the kitchen faces the dining or living area.
