Rich wood floors warm up any space, but they often go unnoticed. Your kitchen island doesn’t have to be the case. A well-appointed kitchen island is often the center of attention in a spacious kitchen design. It can go from any shapes and sizes, even in numbers.
However you decide the size and scale, the primary reason in deciding to have one is the function it will perform. Planning how you cook should be taken into consideration, alongside the needs of the other users in the household.
Combining a breakfast nook with the kitchen island might be the best idea there is, since the invention of the Victorian bridge faucet in copper metal. For a small family with kids, having to be able to cook on one side of the island while the others are eating on the other can be a good reason to invest. You may opt for a double-tiered counter height to avoid spillage, especially with a narrow width.
To make sure a visual continuous flow all around your kitchen, opting for the same countertop finish you already have can be a smart choice. And while the white paint on your kitchen island is a standard go-to for an all-white kitchen, black is a less-expected and very sophisticated alternative.
