Memories are made around the island and meal prep starts in the sink, so combining the two is the latest trend in kitchen island design.
An island has become one of the most asked-for elements in new kitchen layouts and remodels. It’s more than just a beautiful feature of your home and a place to prepare food. In today’s busy family home, the island is a gathering place for friends and family, a spot to eat an afternoon snack, a makeshift office, and so much more.
A sizable island should include many functional aspects of the kitchen. A big trend right now is the workstation sink, offered in an array of accessories like drainboards, cutting boards, and colanders. They come in sizes ranging from 36 to 60-plus inches, making meal preparation easy. The modern island can include many hidden appliances such as cooktops, dishwashers, microwave drawers, or a wine fridge. Incorporating appliances or sinks allows you to enhance your kitchen aesthetic while maximizing its functionality. Large kitchen islands have become almost standard in new homes, in some cases replacing the dining room table.
When accommodating a large island, ensure the space around the island itself is ample enough to have room for walking, meal prep, and other regular kitchen functions. It is important to work with a designer who understands the construction needs to incorporate all the functionality you will require.
So many memories are made around the kitchen island, make sure they are beautiful.
