Building a Custom Kitchen Island Using Kaboodle or IKEA Flatpacks

Kitchen islands are the focal point of modern open-plan Auckland homes. You can build a custom island by combining back-to-back IKEA Metod or Kaboodle base cabinets. The key is structural stability: we anchor the base frames to the concrete floor slab or timber joists using heavy timber blocks, wrap the sides in cover panels, and secure the stone or timber benchtop overlay.
