Choosing the Right Kitchen Island

No matter how well designed a kitchen is one thing we all crave is more counter space. And with a kitchen island we can have just that. No matter the size or design of your kitchen there is an island that will meet your needs.

Here is our list of the top kitchen islands, one of which is sure to fit into your kitchen:

1. Built in Island – the kitchen is the heart of every home and your kitchen island can be the heart of your kitchen, with space for your family to gather, work and play together in the cozy environment of your kitchen and under island storage for pots, pans and other kitchen essentials.
2. Mobile Cart Island – an island that is there when you need it and moves out of the way to create more space when you don’t need it. Consider a mobile cart with storage underneath to meet dual purposes.
3. Re-claimed Islands – it may have been a dining table, a dresser or even a butcher’s block. Now, it is the extra counter space that you need in your kitchen. Restore and restyle an old piece of furniture to fit into your kitchen design.
4. Small Space Island – an island with open storage underneath will give the illusion of space and light while offering extra storage space. Make your island work even harder by affixing hooks for towels and other kitchen items.
5. Islands with Seating – the island can become the centre of your kitchen, with space for kids to do their homework while you prepare a meal. Consider tall stools to fit into a working height island to make it multi-purpose.
6. Update your current Island – replace hardware, even doors, to give your kitchen island a face lift, or strip it back to the wood and give it an entirely new treatment to update your kitchen’s style points.

As you can see, there are kitchen islands to fit every space and meet every demand, so give your kitchen a makeover by adding an island that makes your kitchen space more versatile.
