A vital part of the design plan when it comes to your kitchen is the kitchen island design. When I renovated my old house, the number one thing on my wish list was creating my dream kitchen.
To me, that meant classic style including marble counters, wood floors and a farmhouse sink, all centered around an island where my friends and family could gather.
Almost anything goes when designing a kitchen island. Whether you decide to go with classic materials or a taller island where you can gather lots of bar height stools there is something for everyone.
An antique chest of drawers adds character to this white kitchen as well as extra storage.
A double-sided island allows for an easy flow of conversation and can replace the need for a kitchen table.
Don’t think you have enough space for an island? A stainless steel cart on wheels can be moved in and out of the kitchen as needed and the open shelves are perfect for storing everyday items.
The kitchen island design above is the focal point of the kitchen with a live edge counter and a pop of fun color.
Islands can take on any shape to fit the space, as can be seen from this small square island with a dramatic light fixture centered above.
Can’t find it? DIY it and build your dream island to perfectly suit your needs.
