A kitchen island can be more than an elegant design feature or a source of additional seating. Here are some helpful ideas for a functional kitchen island.

Food Storage

A kitchen island can provide your home with additional food storage. The under counter refrigerators that are common in UK kitchens may not offer enough storage for your home, but you can use your kitchen island to accommodate another fridge or freezer. Many homeowners also choose to install a wine cooler in their kitchen islands.

Cooking

Having a hob on your kitchen island will make cooking more social. While cooking a meal for guests you can face your visitors and continue to engage in conversation. This is a great idea for homeowners who entertain on a regular basis. It also encourages you, your friends or family to cook as a group, as everyone can contribute to meal prep while sitting around the island. For smaller islands, you would need to install a domino hob.

Cleaning

Installing a sink and taps on your kitchen island has a similar sociable effect. As the host, the worst part of a dinner party is doing the washing up afterwards. The benefits of having a sink installed on the kitchen island is that it allows you to continue socialising with your guests.
