An island is one of the most popular kitchen fixtures, with 76 percent of homeowners considering it essential to the kitchen. Great for food preparation, eating and storage, this piece of furniture transforms the way you enjoy the busiest space in your home.

An island provides counter space in a very important place - in the middle of your cooking, cleaning and food preparation zones. If it includes stools and appliances such as sinks and stoves, a good kitchen island can even become a hub of activity. For this reason, many builders and designers believe the addition of a kitchen island adds more value than any other upgrade to your kitchen.

Adding a dining chair to the island in the kitchen has the function of a dining table. Usually, when cooking, cooks can chat with people while washing vegetables. Breakfast or light meals can also be taken in the island, which is more convenient.

There is a lot of space under the island platform, which can provide a powerful storage function for the kitchen space. Items in the kitchen are classified into commonly used and infrequently used items, food and various tableware. Storage buckets are designed under the island platform to put them in different categories, and some baskets can be designed to store tableware and drinking utensils, which is much more convenient to use and store.

When deciding on materials for your kitchen island countertops, it should match the design. The material you choose for your island countertop should complement the overall design of your kitchen. One safe approach is to use the same material in the rest of your counters. Doing so will create a cohesive look to your kitchen that is ideal for classic decors.
