Makes Cooking Easier
Kitchens work best when they make it easy to move between workspaces and appliances but that isn’t always possible in an open-plan home. A freestanding island can help you create that optimal setup.

Provides Access for Cleaning
Kitchen designs with islands fixed in place sometimes create nooks that trap crumbs. A freestanding option, however, enables you to sweep between the legs, enjoying the style without the hassle.

“Raised kitchen islands on legs are immensely popular. They appeal to traditionalists who love the hand-built farmhouse kitchen look but also lovers of modern Scandi interior design. Not only do they provide lots of useful counter space and an impressive feature for any kitchen; they also maintain a sense of spaciousness.”
– Gerald Jones, Managing Director at Masterclass Kitchens

Ways to Use Your Freestanding Kitchen Island
Cook Ambitious Meals: Offering extra work surface for food prep and storage for implements, an island will help you cook ambitious meals that require a lot of space and resources.
Create a Futuristic Aesthetic: Not only suitable for classic kitchens, an island can also enhance a modern one. Consider a modern-style white kitchen island with a sleek hob and downdraft hood.
Start a Hobby or Business: Kitchen island worktops aren’t just good for preparing and serving meals. Indeed, this valuable workspace could be a place to practice a hobby or build a business.
Entertain Loved Ones: Well-placed areas for kitchen barstools make islands multi-purpose. That means, you can use one to enrich cooking with family members or to occupy visitors as you cook.

What Our Customers are Saying
“We contacted four kitchen companies to design a completely different kitchen. John Lott from the Cardiff store came up with much more than we expected. Every other company told us we had no room for an island but John remodelled everything!”
– Andrew Nash, Trustpilot Review
“10 months in and we are still absolutely in love with our kitchen. It has changed our lives! Such high quality – the attention to detail is amazing, such as the dishwasher location being perfectly in line with the island. I can open the dishwasher and island drawers at the same time without them hitting – something I’d never thought of and I believe would definitely be overlooked by other kitchen retailers.”
– Lanaboo, Trustpilot Review
“The kitchen itself is great, and definitely a notch up in quality over the utility room we sourced through our builders. The finish is fantastic, and we love the no-cost wooden interiors in all our cupboards. Best of all, the kitchen works. I can unload the dishwasher without moving a foot, the kids love the island, and there are no awkward cupboards or dark corners. It’s great!”
– Andrew Parish, Trustpilot Review
Customer Questions Answered
Q: Are kitchen islands dead?
Kitchen islands have timeless appeal. In fact, around 50,000 people in the UK search for kitchen island inspiration every month. That said, tastes evolve, sometimes favouring traditional fixed islands, freestanding ones or handleless ones with a futuristic aesthetic. Fortunately for you, our knowledgeable design partners always know what’s in vogue and what will last the test of time.
Q: How do you build a kitchen island?
Our kitchen islands may look simple but lots of experience and expertise has gone into making them appear that way. Hence, we wouldn’t recommend try to build one yourself without professional guidance. After all, we adhere to all sorts of rules and regulations: the working triangle; safety regulations; electronic installations (if applicable), and more! What you see isn’t simply a kitchen island; it’s the tip of a knowledge iceberg we’ve cultivated over decades.
Q: How big is a kitchen island?
Technically, an island can be any size you want. At Masterclass, we tailor our kitchen island dimensions to fit each client’s taste and lifestyle needs, as well as the availability of floorspace in their kitchen. Depending on your space, your kitchen island could be slimline or the vast sort of workspace you’d see on a TV cooking show. If you’re unsure what size island you’ll need, find your local Masterclass retailer and book a design with a consultant.
Q: Are kitchen islands taller than counters?
There is no industry standard kitchen island height. However, kitchens often look and work best when your island worktop matches the counter height of the base units fixed to your walls. Hence, in most cases kitchen islands aren’t taller or shorter than counters; they’re the same height.
