Kitchen islands make life easier and happier, giving you a place to prepare, rest, and gather.
Kitchen islands make life easier and happier, giving you a place to prepare, rest, and gather. But do not just pick the very first kitchen island that looks nice. Consider how you use your kitchen, what you want to achieve in it, and what will make your kitchen feel complete and unified. Read on for a few helpful ideas for your Maryland home’s kitchen island design!
A Sink in Your Kitchen Island
When you decide to include a sink in your kitchen island, you are adding an entirely new prep station to your kitchen. Set your dirty dishes in one sink while you prepare food in another. Now getting dinner on the table or setting out an entire party for your guests will not be an issue.
Adding Some Shelves
Include shelves on the end of your island for handy storage that will double as decorations. Keep your colorful cookbooks there so they are easy to grab while you are cooking, and let them add visual interest when they’re not in use. Or store beautiful dishes that you’ve been wanting to display. Or keep your daily dishes out on the shelf so they are easy to grab all day.
Give It Some Color
Your kitchen island doesn’t have to match the rest of the cabinetry in the kitchen. In fact, when you pick a different color, it could add a fun personality to your room. Pick a typical cabinet color that works well with the rest of your kitchen’s space, like gray, white, or black. You could be a bit daring and choose a color that really stands out.
Consider Kitchen Storage Space
A kitchen island is a lot of square footage that could and should be dedicated to storage space. Again, consider how you use the kitchen. Do you entertain guests often? Do you eat breakfast while standing? Now, how can you include storage to make your kitchen time easier, less messy, and more efficient? Think about installing microwaves down below so that your kids can make their food in the morning. Include a closed cabinet where homework supplies could be stashed out of sight. Install a set of deep drawers for storing pans and pots, or include cabinets where your special dishes can be stored safely. There are many ways to make your kitchen island storage work. Consider this topic carefully and discuss it with Kenwood Kitchens before making a decision.
