Exploring the functional and aesthetic advantages of adding a kitchen island

A kitchen island is an essential design piece that can transform the aesthetics and functionality of your kitchen space. It serves multiple purposes including a workspace table and extra storage for your kitchen. The design and material choices can also contribute to the overall visual impact of your kitchen, offering both practical and aesthetic benefits.

Having extra storage in your kitchen will allow your kitchen to be extremely functional. By adding kitchen island, cabinets, draws and shelves into your kitchen island, you can recreate extra space for cookware, utensils and small appliances. This helps declutter countertops and improves the overall functionality of your kitchen.

An island is the perfect place to add additional seating. For a quick meal or even homework gatherings, a barstool or chairs tucked under the island allow family and friends to interact whilst meals are being prepared. 

Kitchen islands are highly adaptable. By building in kitchen appliances like cooktops and dishwashers and an Abey kitchen sink, they can be a central hub for kitchen activity. This multifunctionality allows for smoother workflow and enables users to cook, clean and serve from one central location whilst moving around the kitchen easily.

Aesthetically, a kitchen island can create a design focal point for your kitchen. Customising the island allows you to create a piece that is the focal point for your kitchen design. Enhancing your island with a pop of colour and overhead lighting creates a piece that will be of visual interest in your kitchen.

Creating a natural flow between other areas, an island can define a space and create a boundary between the kitchen and other areas of a living or dining space. This will also allow those cooking to have a space without being disrupted easily.

Abey Australia recommends hiring a kitchen design professional to ensure your design and finish will work with your design style.
