The Kitchen Island

This striking kitchen will make a fine centrepiece to anyone’s home. The island is made with a Zeus silestone solid granite white countertop and a black, toughened glass panel before the seats. On the other side of the island are American dark wood walnut drawers and an oven and coffee machine.

There is also a sink and a hub with a down draft extractor. The rest of the kitchen is made up of a silver Galaxy black granite countertop by the main sink and high gloss white doors with more American walnut units. The American style fridge is framed by aluminium glazed obscure glass.

Kitchen islands are a very popular choice these days for both their aesthetic quality and their functionality. They are ideal for extra storage space and work space and they make a nice transition or flow between the kitchen area and living room. They allow for a dialogue between cook and guests. This is enhanced by adding seats to your island and turning it into a dining area. Make it a place for both socializing and family activity. A kitchen island can also anchor the work triangle of sink, oven and fridge. It can be a place to prepare, cook and eat food.

The versatility of a kitchen island will surprise anyone who is unfamiliar with them. Be it a ‘butcher’s block’ style island or a movable island, there is so much that can be done with them to make life in the kitchen easier. A well designed and fitted island will do so much and look beautiful at the same time. It will improve the quality of life for the family as well as making your home the hub of social activity. If you decide to sell your house, the kitchen island will be one of the main attractions.
