3 Main Reasons to Consider a Kitchen Island
Every kitchen has room for improvement in organization, visibility, and performance. Unfortunately, no home kitchen has sufficient amounts of any of these. Stylish and functional, a kitchen island is a perfect solution. Don’t have one yet? Consider the following advantages of a high-quality island for your upcoming kitchen remodeling project; here’s why:
Extra Storage
A kitchen island could answer your storage woes. The island can be used as a standalone piece of furniture or as an addition to your existing casework to accommodate extra storage space (drawers, pull-out shelves, cabinets). Have you ever worried that there wouldn’t be enough space for recycling bins? The area under a kitchen island is a fantastic place to place a bin.
Great for the Kids
Whether doing homework or pitching in to help with dinner preparation, kids love hanging out at the kitchen island because they feel like they’re a part of the family and get a front-row seat to all the action. Place microwaves and refrigerator drawers at a child’s height so they can easily access them while helping themselves in the kitchen. Some families find it helpful to provide the kids with appliances they can use for after-school snacks.
Additional Kitchen Amenities
Kitchens with more space at their disposal benefit from the flexibility of having more prep sinks, refrigerator drawers, and cooking space installed. Because plumbing and electricity can be extended to larger kitchens, the design possibilities are practically endless. Putting a range hood above your stove or grill will transform your island into the room’s focal point for food preparation and socializing.
