If you’re looking for a way to spruce up your kitchen, an island is a useful addition. However, many homeowners don’t anticipate the number of choices involved with creating an island, from countertop materials to island shape. To narrow down the choices, here are three shapes you should consider for your kitchen remodeling project. 

3 Popular Shapes for Kitchen Islands

1. Traditional Rectangle

The most popular shape for a kitchen island is the rectangle. Its simple, yet efficient shape allows for cooking, storage, and stool seating down an entire side. Because the width of the rectangle can be adjusted based on the room’s size, rectangular islands are one of the most versatile shapes you can incorporate into a kitchen remodeling project. 

2. Angled 

Not every kitchen space and dining area can accommodate a straight rectangular shape. If your home is smaller or you don’t necessarily want or need pull-up seating, an angled island may work better. Angled islands can be made with a larger side for cooking and kitchen preparation while the narrower side slots into the part of the room where less space is available.

3. L or U-Shaped

These models allow a home chef to have extra counter space on one or both sides. You’ll also have enough room to seat multiple people along the long side of the bar.
