Who doesn’t love an island getaway? No, we’re not talking about taking a vacation to the Bahamas, we’re talking about adding an island to your kitchen! Kitchen islands are great for many reasons, which we will discuss below. However, if you have a small kitchen footprint, we do not recommend trying to force an island into your design. Many kitchens can be functional without the addition of an island, in fact, sometimes when you try to force an island to fit in your space it can create a less functional and clunky space. On the other hand, if you do have the space, we highly recommend adding an island to your kitchen. Not only will it add functionality, but it can be a place for friends and family to gather and create beautiful memories for years to come.
