September 11, 2015

The kitchen is one of the most important areas in your new home, so one should never skimp on the details when deciding on the design, materials and style. Most people, however, don’t invest enough time on planning the style of their center island.

The center island is a piece that can make or break your kitchen! You can invest thousands of dollars on top-of-the line appliances and incredible kitchen cabinets, but it is the center island that helps bring everything together. Read on for tips on how to pick the perfect center island for your kitchen.

Deciding On the Right Look

The style of your center island will depend on the style of your kitchen. If your kitchen has a modern look, then you want your center island to complement that look while keeping the overall design elegant. Likewise, if your design is more traditional, then you could go for a beautiful ivory countertop that will create a more refined look.

Similarly, functionality is an important aspect to consider. For example, if you plan on spending long periods of time preparing meals, you might want to add a second sink on the center island. Another aspect to consider is size. If your kitchen will be a major gathering area for friends and family members, then having a large center island helps provide much needed space.
