Add a Sink

The sink is an important element when it comes to preparing your meals. One of the best ways to use it is to wash your dishes as you empty them so you can keep your kitchen clean and organized. This can be difficult when you’re using your kitchen island to prepare food. Talk to your specialists in kitchen renovation in Dover about adding a sink to this feature. It may require some additional plumbing work, but it’s well worth it when you see how easy it is to keep your kitchen clean.

Storage is another important feature when it comes to your kitchen island. While most kitchen islands do feature cupboard space below, it can sometimes be more useful to add shelving instead. Even if you do keep some of the cabinets, consider switching out some of them for shelves so you can easily keep your cookbooks or anything else you may need to easily access on hand. You can even use the shelves to display decor to make your kitchen even more aesthetically pleasing.

Add a Splash of Color

When most people think about their kitchen island, they envision it matching the rest of their cabinets and countertops. While this is the most popular way to design them, you aren’t limited to this. If you’re looking to add an extra pop to your kitchen, consider painting your kitchen island a different, complementary color. This personal touch can greatly add to the aesthetic appeal of your kitchen.

Create a Seating Area

There are many uses for your new kitchen island. While many people seem to use it for storage or food preparation purposes, you can actually use it as a seating area as well. While you will need taller stools or chairs, it can be a great place for people to gather. Make your kitchen island a breakfast nook for enjoying a quick breakfast in the morning or let your kids hang out while you’re making dinner so you can chat or oversee their homework. 

Get Creative

Your remodeling contractors in Massachusetts can get creative when it comes to your kitchen island design. While it should match the overall style of your kitchen, you can get creative with the materials you use or the design elements you implement so you can add a touch of personality to your kitchen.
