The island style is currently one of the most popular kitchen styles. It offers endless design possibilities, with a wide range of choices in styles and materials. Islands help define the kitchen space that may be open to other areas. They can also be densely packed with appliances for a highly functional space.

Islands can have several levels, depending on function. Counters can be high or dining table height. A raised level above the eating level can hide kitchen mess from the rest of the room.

  • Great for directing traffic past the work triangle
  • Can accommodate multiple cooks
  • Provides room for ample storage
  • The island may incorporate dining options
  • Good for large kitchens

Most of the storage should be located overhead, with the appliances situated beneath the benchtop. Although a one-wall kitchen is more typical in a small apartment, it may also be used in large, open-plan homes. The benefit of this type of kitchen is:

  • Perfect for where windows are positioned above the bench
