Why Homeowners in choose Kitchen Islands
Kitchen islands are more than just an interior design trend — they’re a highly practical solution that brings multiple benefits to homes of all sizes. Here’s why so many homeowners in Tunbridge Wells and across Kent are investing in bespoke kitchen islands:
- Added Functionality: A kitchen island can incorporate storage, sinks, hobs, wine fridges, and more — giving you more space to work and entertain.

- Design Focal Point: A beautifully crafted island adds a sense of balance and sophistication, anchoring the entire room.
- Optimised Layout: We design islands to enhance your kitchen’s workflow and make the most of every inch.
At Peter Alexander Cabinets, we design and build made-to-measure kitchen islands that suit your space and your needs — from compact peninsulas to large, multifunctional islands with seating and storage.

Our Bespoke Kitchen Island Design Process
At Peter Alexander Cabinets, we’re known for our craftsmanship, service, and design expertise. Our kitchen island design process ensures every detail is carefully considered:
1. Initial Consultation
We begin with a one-on-one design consultation, either in your home or at our Tunbridge Wells workshop. During this stage, we assess your kitchen layout, listen to your ideas, and begin to shape the vision for your island.
2. Concept & Layout Planning
We work with you to determine the ideal size, position, and features for your kitchen island. Whether you want a seating area for four, a sink-and-prep area, or storage galore — we make it happen.
3. Bespoke Design & Materials
Every island we build is custom-made. Choose from a wide range of premium materials including solid wood, painted cabinetry, oak, walnut, marble, quartz, and more. We guide you through colour schemes, finishes, and hardware options.
4. Manufacture & Installation
Our skilled craftsmen hand-build every island in our workshop using traditional joinery techniques. Once complete, our expert installation team ensures a flawless fit with minimal disruption to your home.
