subject: 3 New Takes On Your Kitchen Island Design [print this page] The kitchen island must be a part of the new kitchen if you plan on revising its design. Once you've decided to include it in your plans, the kitchen island must be designed as well. There doesn't seem to be anything especially attractive about kitchen islands, what with their rather boring lines and corners; however this feature of your kitchen can be so much more than it may appear at first glance. Illustrated below are some new ideas about making yours unique.
First, the island adds much more usable space to your kitchen, a great feature. It emphasizes the center to your kitchen and could serve as a special place for social gatherings that would not be available without it. Voluminous islands are one way to make your kitchen stand out among the rest. One possibility is making it big enough to serve dinner for your family or just make it fit the space available in your kitchen. Another might mean that you even make it big enough to seat ten chairs around it. The experience you have in your kitchen can be enhanced by these increased possibilities. With the added space you have even more space to work with.
Using the space under the bench tops for shelves and drawers is standard, but a great way to liven things up is to use this space in a different way. To freshen up this area and make it truly personalized you could change this design. Racks can be installed instead of shelves. These racks can be used to store your favorite tea cups, art projects from the kids, cooking handbooks and utensils. This idea is great for making your most used tools readily available for your meal times.
Next, you usually find kitchen islands are stuck in one place in the center of the kitchen, but it doesn't always have to be that way. Installing wheels to your kitchen island gives you've got a portable, fully functional tool. The kitchen island's wheels can allow you to place it wherever you need it in the kitchen. If space is your arch enemy in the battle to have a more spacious kitchen, try using a trolley or a table on wheels in place of a kitchen island to realize the new possibilities in your kitchen.
Although these new ideas on kitchen islands are few in number, they can really change your entire cooking space, giving you more opportunities. Whether you're just ready for a new look or in the mood for some minor changes, these kitchen island ideas can produce satisfying results for your kitchen experience.
