Skipping the beach vacation this year? Well, why not get your own island at home by updating your kitchen!
Islands are one of the most sought-after features in kitchen design at present as they bring various advantages to your space. Below are our top reasons why you need a kitchen island!
More room to prep
Having an island in your kitchen enables you more counter space to prepare food and drinks while also entertaining your guests directly, rather than them seeing the back of you during their visit.
It also allows extra room for small appliances and items such as a dishwasher or waste bin, which frees up more space around the perimeter kitchen cabinets.
Extra storage
As mentioned, a kitchen island gives you the extra space to place items on the countertops, but you can also design it to have cupboards and draws to store bowls, plates, cooking and baking utensils, knives, and so much more!
If you are a fan of white wine, beer, cool soft drinks, or need more room to reserve milk for barista tasks, you can even build in a wine cooler to store your beverages – which, in turn, gives you more fridge space for food!
Additional seating area
If you need more seats in your kitchen, an island is a perfect feature for this. Simply talk to us, we have so many design ideas of how to make best use of the space, including where you can best place bar stools or dining chairs to complete the look.
Heart of the kitchen
We have received lots of feedback from clients who have chosen a kitchen island, and they all say the same thing – it is the heart of the kitchen! Having a kitchen island enables you to spend time closely with your loved ones, talking about your day or helping to whip up delicious recipes.
