## Plan the island arrangement first

This Island example starts from the room, not the colour: appliances and tall units are placed first, then storage fills the remaining width. Enter your real wall lengths before judging it, and mark doors and windows so the checks reflect your room rather than this 480 × 420 cm rectangle.

## Balance charcoal with white oak

This example keeps the deeper charcoal on the upper cabinets and lets the white oak grain ground the lower run. That order keeps the darker colour at eye level without closing in the worktop. Try the reverse split in the editor if your room gets little daylight, and compare both from the doorway before deciding.

## Check the working gaps

Facing runs and corners decide whether a island layout feels generous or cramped. Review the plan with doors and drawers open, compare the elevation for wall-cabinet clearance, and use the 3D view from the doorway before keeping any unit that narrows the route through the room.

## Questions before you start

### Does this island example fit my room?

Only if your walls match it. Enter your measurements in the editor; cabinet sizes stay real, so a smaller room will show you honestly what has to give.

### Can I change the colour without losing the layout?

Yes. Finishes apply to the whole kitchen or to one selected cabinet, and the arrangement stays untouched.
