What is an island kitchen design?

An island kitchen is a freestanding unit added to boost the functionality and aesthetics of the cooking space.

These are basically the freestanding cabinets that can complement the existing design or blend in with the current interiors.

With the changing trends, kitchen islands have become the real icon element of a modern kitchen.

In this blog, explore and get acquainted with everything you need to know about kitchen islands.

Does it optimize the storage space and functionality?

Kitchen islands are specifically an additional fixture that adds functionality to the space while enhancing the storage space due to the cabinets under the countertop.

You can continually optimize it to get access to several other functions.

Like one time you can use it for cooking preparations, next for cooking, and some other time for baking preparations.

Where to put the kitchen island?

Putting the kitchen island in the right space can be a little tricky.

It should be placed in a way that there is enough space on all sides to enable the free traffic flow all around.

And most importantly the kitchen ergonomics are followed appropriately.

That is an excellent flow within all the key activity zones including stove, fridge, and sink.

Considerable tips for choosing the kitchen island for your space!
