kitchen island

Often, in a large kitchen, deciding on the perfect island design becomes a challenge. A standard island can look too small and make your kitchen appear less elegant and grand than it should. However, an overly-long island can make your kitchen look like a commercial diner ready to serve meals to customers upon demand.

One Solution to Island Design

A fabulous solution is to incorporate two gorgeous islands into your kitchen. With two islands, you’ll fill the available space, creating a distinctive and luxurious look that everyone will love. Use the same cabinetry and stone countertop on both to coordinate the design for a chic result.

Kitchen Features with Two Islands

To make the best use of this design, one of the islands should include a small stainless sink, which will turn it into a perfect area to wash vegetables and prep your meals. At the second island, include comfortable bar stools for family dining or as a space to make out grocery lists, put together holiday cards, or complete other types of paperwork. Your children can even use that particular island space to do their homework.

Advantages of a Kitchen With Two Islands

With two islands, where the prep area is separate from the dining and work area, everything will remain neater and more sanitary. You’ll have a lot more space available than you would with one standard island, allowing multiple people to work in the kitchen at the same time. You can also easily navigate between the islands–a definite advantage over having to walk around one large island.

A space with ample square footage gives you more flexibility and design options. So, if your residence has a spacious kitchen, consider two islands for the best look and function in your home. This type of stylish kitchen design will impress everyone and will add considerable value to your residence.
