Thinking of remodeling your kitchen? Kitchen islands are a popular feature but are they right for your kitchen? If you have enough space, the addition of an island can add dimension to your design. Islands tend to be the hub of a kitchen and work wonderfully for entertaining.

Islands are an extremely versatile design feature. They come in an endless variety of sizes and shapes. From ornate and traditional, to modern and simple, there is an island that is right for your kitchen. They can even be mobile if you’d like to be able to open the kitchen up when needed.

When thinking of an island, the first thing that comes to mind is additional counter space. The island itself can be used as open counter work space. It can also be used to house a stove top, with pots hung above, to add central design to the kitchen. Some homeowners even choose to use an island to have a second sink area.

An island can add extra kitchen cabinets to your layout or specialized features like a built in wine rack, book case, or extra seating. Consider building in an extra 12″ to 15″ of overhang on your island’s counters if you plan to use it for seating. Or looking into pull-out counter options. See our article on kitchen countertops for help in choosing an easy to care for and beautiful top to your kitchen island.

Using contrasting color for kitchen islands can bring added interest as seen in this picture gallery.
