Kitchen Island Design

The simplest kitchen island is not very different from a table. Even at this simple form, an island can make it much easier to get things done in your kitchen. However, there is so much more that a kitchen island can do for you. Many islands have drawers and cupboards that increase your storage space and keep your kitchen organized. They can hold the tools you need, such as mixing bowls, pots and pans, right where you prepare the food.

Many people design their kitchen around an island. This is no surprise; after all, you can improve the design of your kitchen greatly when you add an island. Think about the things that you use most often in a kitchen. If you use spices, invest in an island with a built-in spice rack. There are also built-in knife racks and paper towel holders. There's no need to clutter your counter space with things that could be part of your island.

Plan Your Kitchen Island Design

An island can be an attractive addition to your kitchen decor, but practical design issues come first. You need to choose an island that is the right size for your kitchen. If you aren't sure what size to get, stack some empty cardboard boxes in the kitchen. Leave enough room so you can comfortably walk all around them. Leave room to open drawers and cupboard doors. Measure the boxes to find the right sized island for your kitchen design.
