Custom Round Kitchen Islands

The best wood for a round kitchen island from 1BENMU is a stable species with a grain you enjoy seeing wrap around the curve. 1BENMU builds islands in white oak, red oak, walnut, maple and ash. Oak suits a visible, flowing grain, while maple gives a quieter surface. We help you choose the species that suits your floors and cabinets.

Every curved island from 1BENMU is finished to suit how the kitchen is used, with a stain or finish chosen to match your floors and cabinetry. A curved base gets bumped by stools, bags and feet more often than a cabinet run, so we plan the finish with that wear in mind. The colour is confirmed with you during the shop drawing stage.

Custom round kitchen islands from 1BENMU can start from $7,000 for a simple island with a basic storage layout, and can go $10,000+ for more complicated projects, materials or designs. The final price depends on the island size, radius, storage layout, top material and any sink or cooktop, so we quote each project individually. To get your price, send your measurements, a kitchen photo and your layout idea. Consultations and quotes are free.

Yes, every round island fabricated and installed by 1BENMU is covered by our workmanship warranty, which covers manufacturing and installation defects under normal use. Each island goes through our quality assurance process, starting with a review of the approved shop drawings to check dimensions, materials and joinery. After installation, we complete a final inspection to confirm the curved fronts, doors and top meet our standards.

Yes, and at 1BENMU we plan the storage around the curve from the first drawing rather than fitting square boxes inside a round shell. Options include curved doors with round shelves behind them, curved drawers and open shelving. Some interior corners are lost to the shape, so we lay out the shelves around what you actually want to keep in the island, such as pots or small appliances.

Yes, at 1BENMU we can route a sink, cooktop or power into the base of a circular island when the kitchen plan calls for it. The placement is worked out at the shop drawing stage, because a curve leaves less straight run for an appliance and the storage has to work around it. Tell us early what you want in the island, so the size and radius can suit it.

On a rounded island, 1BENMU offers stone, solid timber and microcement tops, and the best choice depends on how you use the island. Stone suits a heavier look and gives a strong contrast against wood. Solid timber brings the grain up to the surface. Microcement gives a smooth, continuous finish. Any curved top needs careful templating, so the outline is confirmed against the finished base.

Before anything is drawn, 1BENMU checks your measurements for the working clearance a round island needs on all sides, since people have to walk, cook and open appliances around it. Round islands can work well in the centre of a room, while a narrow kitchen often suits an oval or a long island with curved ends. Send us your floor plan and we will suggest a shape.

Yes, the team at 1BENMU works with architects, designers, contractors and homeowners on curved islands. If you already have drawings, send them over and our team will review them and develop detailed shop drawings for approval. Our shop handles the fabrication, and our crew can take care of site preparation and installation, so the island is coordinated with the rest of your kitchen work.

A curved island from 1BENMU removes the sharp corners of a standard island, which makes walkways easier to move through and is gentler on children at hip height. The rounded shape also brings people together, since everyone seated faces the centre, and it gives an open-plan kitchen a softer, more sculptural centrepiece.

Seating is a natural fit on a curved island, and 1BENMU can plan an overhang along the outer curve so stools face each other instead of sitting in a straight line. Semi-circle and oval shapes both work well for seating, and the working side can keep storage, a sink or a cooktop. We set the overhang depth around the stools you choose.
