The kitchen island is a platform that stands on its own in the middle of a kitchen. According to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), the kitchen island is today’s most popular feature of a kitchen remodeling or redesign plan, and approximately 80% of home buyers see the kitchen island as a vital aspect to a potential new home. In actual fact, the kitchen island is highly beneficial to both old and new home owners, as it provides a multitude of features that make a kitchen more accessible, functional, and of course visually pleasing.
The kitchen island is most popular for creating a convenient and efficient working space. Not only does it provide an additional area for food preparation in the kitchen, but it can also be used as extra storage space, as well as a divider between two rooms. One can choose to use it solely for preparation, partially, put a cook top on it, put a sink inside it – the options are endless. By placing it in the middle of the room, the kitchen island creates an accessible area for the person working in it, as it bridges between areas whilst providing added working space. In a place in which there is a problematic floor plan, kitchen islands can separate between the kitchen and dining/living room, whilst also increasing sociality between occupants of the two rooms.
