From mobile to stationery designs, islands have become increasingly popular in kitchens. If you’re thinking of adding one during a kitchen remodeling project, you should consider how it could be beneficial to your new layout. Here are a few reasons to install a kitchen island.

Why Include an Island in Your Kitchen Remodel?

1. Extra Storage Space

Limited space is often a reason for kitchen remodeling. An island can be designed with customized storage options. Whether you want deep-seated shelving to house your larger cookware items or open racks for storing wine bottles, there are countless construction options to help make your kitchen more organized.

2. Kid-Centered Option

Most islands are designed to be in the middle of the kitchen. This provides an opportunity for kids to feel more included in meal preparation. With bar seating, they can see and hear what’s going on without getting in the way. The island can also include a snack drawer and amenities like a microwave and mini-refrigerator so that they can prepare simple foods on their own. 

3. Cozy Seating

The dining room table is often used for family meals. When you’re hanging out in the kitchen while chatting or enjoying a snack, island seating can be more comfortable. Designing an island specifically with bar seats also makes the room more accessible to other people when someone is cooking. During the holidays and other gatherings, this extra seating also ensures that there’s a place for everyone to enjoy their meal.
