Kitchen Island Ideas For Your Kitchen Renovation

Starting a new kitchen renovation is an exciting journey that allows you to infuse your personality into one of the most vital spaces in your home. Among all the tough decisions you’ll make throughout your remodel, the design and functionality of your kitchen island stand out as a focal point. Whether you’re looking for more storage, counter space, or extra seating, a kitchen center island is always a good solution, even in a small space. For inspiration, here are a few kitchen island ideas to get you started on your renovation.

Multifunctional Marvel

Everyone loves a little extra space. Your kitchen island is a great way to add a multifunctional option to the most-used room in your home. Consider integrating a built-in sink, cutting board, or even a stovetop into the island’s design. This not only maximizes utility but also enhances the efficiency of your cooking, storage, and more.

Something Old Into Something New

Don’t have a kitchen island to work with? Get creative! Where space is at a premium, a repurposed dresser or bar table makes an ideal kitchen island. As there is virtually no construction involved, it is one of many ways to give your kitchen a new look and functionality. Look for dressers with deep drawers and interesting details to make this work in your space.

Or, get creative with a kitchen island on wheels! A rolling island is great for entertaining, with the ability to move it out of the way for extra space for guests.

Built-In Appliances

Your island takes up a good amount of space in your kitchen, so why not take advantage of that? Incorporating a microwave, wine fridge, dishwasher, or sink can save you that extra counter space you may need. This clever addition combines functionality, compactness, and style, making it the ideal choice for maximizing utility in a small space

Extend Seating

Who doesn’t want the opportunity to have a little extra seating around their home? Kitchen islands are a great option to incorporate several extra seats right into your space. Extending the width of your island can allow plenty of ample space for seating with minimal space used.

A Place for Pets

Always tripping over your pup’s water bowl? Instead of placing your pet’s food bowls right along the wall of your space, why not build them right into your kitchen island? Not only does this open up floor space in your kitchen, but it makes it easier to clean, refill, and provide a cute little space for your pets in your favorite room in the home!

Hidden Storage

We’re always looking for extra ways to add storage to the rooms in our home. When it comes to your kitchen, there are plenty of utensils, pots and pans, dishware, and ingredients that need a place of their own. Kitchen islands are a clever way to incorporate just a little bit of extra storage. Adding extra base cabinets to your island can increase not only functionality but also the value of your home!

Add Electricity

When writing up your kitchen island ideas, don’t forget about the benefits of installing electrical outlets into your design. This simple addition can make a huge difference in efficiency in your cooking, cleaning, and personal tasks. Need to charge your phone while you cook? Need a place to plug in your kitchen mixers? Electrical outlets are always a benefit when designing or renovating any room in your home.
