Kitchens with an island: design and socializing in your kitchen

Kitchens with an island are the perfect example of kitchen design dedicated to those who love combining aesthetics and comfort.

At the heart of the space, the island becomes a high-impact visual element, where functionality and social interaction merge into a single space.

In a modern design kitchen, the island can house a cooktop, sink, or snack counter, transforming it into an ideal place to cook and entertain at the same time.

At Primopiano, every project is born from the desire to offer custom solutions that adapt to any space and decor style. Thanks to our 100% Made in Italy production, we carefully study materials and details to propose tailor-made design kitchens that reflect your personality and meet your needs, as well as those of the people who will share the kitchen with you.

From minimal finishes to more refined solutions, such as luxury design kitchens, the island can take on an essential look or become a striking focal point.

In our showrooms in Milan, Brescia, and Padua, you can book a consultation to explore all the potential of an island kitchen, including its practical advantages:

• Larger work surfaces

• A seamless transition between living and cooking areas

• The opportunity to create a welcoming open-space effect

Even those with smaller spaces can opt for small design kitchens with an island, using space-saving solutions and concealed systems that maximize usability.

All of this, while respecting modern furniture principles with a design meant to last over time, embodying the solidity and craftsmanship of true Made in Italy quality.

When thinking about a design kitchen with an island, the first thing you should consider is overall space harmony.

The island is not just an extra countertop—it is an architectural element that adds character to the environment, blending seamlessly with the modern design furniture already in place.

At Primopiano, we place great importance on finding the ideal layout. Beyond your needs and requests, our projects are also developed by evaluating factors such as:

• Finishes and colors: from matte or satin surfaces, perfect for a modern kitchen with an essential design, to stone or marble countertops for luxury design kitchens

• Functionality: integrated appliances, hidden storage spaces, and advanced ventilation systems make your island kitchen experience more enjoyable

• Dimensions: while kitchens with an island are often associated with large spaces, there are also layouts suited to smaller areas. Even in compact kitchens, a small or multifunctional island can optimize the cooking space

Choosing the right materials is crucial to defining the kitchen’s personality:

• Wood, matte lacquers, satin glass, or brushed metals all contribute to creating a coherent look with the rest of your home.

• Modern design kitchens can embrace minimalist lines, where the island takes on a geometric profile, while in more classic solutions, ornamental details and prominent handles can be integrated.

• For those who prefer a "completely hidden" approach, an induction cooktop with an integrated hood can be installed, keeping the island surface clean and sleek.

Structurally, the island can:

• Partially connect to the wall

• Form a peninsula

• Remain completely detached, creating a "free-standing" effect

In our kitchen design stores, Primopiano experts will help you evaluate the pros and cons of each option, considering your lifestyle and whether you need a snack area or additional countertops.

The result is an island kitchen that stands out for its build quality, attention to detail, and versatility, catering to various tastes and styles, from minimal compositions to luxury design kitchens.

The real strength of a kitchen with an island lies in its ability to reflect the needs of those who use it daily, while also offering high aesthetic value.

For this reason, at Primopiano, we adopt a highly personalized approach, where our in-house production—fully Made in Italy—guarantees control over every phase of the process.

From the initial concepts to the final installation, our team works side by side with the client, defining dimensions, finishes, and specific functionalities.
