get the curved island look in your kitchen with this kaboodle hack

You will need 18mm MDF to create the curve templates, 3mm MDF to form the curve and timber mouldings to clad the curve.

Plan everything out in advance and think about how you will construct the island. You may need to run a piece of MDF across the back of any cabinets to attach the mouldings to, so factor that into your design. Also keep in mind how you plan to construct the curve form, as you may need to trim down the middle rib to fit the vertical panels.

Once you have finalised your design, create the templates for your curves using 18mm MDF. Each curve form will need three templates to act as a top, bottom and middle rib.

Depending on the design of your island, you may wish to include a cabinet in the curved space - this can be achieved by using a 300mm deep wall cabinet instead of a base cabinet.

If you plan to include a cabinet, you will need to measure up your chosen cabinet and cut a cavity for it into your curved templates.
