Here at MLS Kitchens, we are Manchester’s leading kitchen design specialists. As a result, we have produced this guide to everything you should know about slimline kitchen islands.

What is a slimline kitchen island?

A slimline kitchen island is a rectangular kitchen island that is thinner than the regular or standard design. With less width, this kitchen island can be installed in a wide range of kitchens, adding practical storage or seating space, as well as an additional work surface area.

What are the advantages of choosing a slimline kitchen island?

There are a number of advantages and benefits to choosing a slimline kitchen island. These include:

  • A practical solution for smaller kitchens
  • Being useful for a range of purposes

A slimline kitchen island is a practical solution for smaller kitchens

Many small to medium sized kitchens, including those that are an unusual shape, or even galley kitchens, cannot make much use of a regular or standard kitchen island. This is because it is generally too big and takes up too much space in the kitchen. However, slimline kitchen islands are designed to provide a practical solution for small kitchens. With less width, these kitchen islands can fit into a range of spaces while maintaining the practicality and functionality of the kitchen.

A slimline kitchen island is useful for a range of purposes

Just like a standard kitchen island, a slimline kitchen island can be used for a number of different purposes. These include:

  • Adding seating- a slimline kitchen island can be used to add seating to your kitchen. This can be occasional or casual seating such as a breakfast bar with stools, or a more permanent seating fixture.
  • Adding storage – a slimline kitchen island can be a great way to add storage to a small kitchen. With cupboards and drawers installed underneath the work surface of the kitchen island, you can add usable storage space for cumbersome items that are difficult to store elsewhere.
