Why The Island Has Changed Kitchen Design Forever

When you buy a preowned kitchen from us, you know you’re getting quality and, most importantly, style way beyond your budget. An ex-display designer kitchen is, undoubtedly, going to be classically stylish or forward thinking when it comes to design, after all.

In this day and age, there’s one element you’ll find in almost all the most luxurious kitchens, which even a few decades ago was not such an inherent element of the kitchen: the island.

The kitchen used to be designed around three points, the oven, the fridge and the hob, however, the new kitchen design is a social space, more about living and entertaining than simply preparing food.

Island design can work in a few ways, take a look at some of these gorgeous examples as a starting point.

The island can be a greta focal point, with a statement colour or material set against a neutral backdrop. This beautiful granite island is a smooth and seamless choice which steals focus in this design.

Creating more usable space is also important. An island can house a cooker when used with a integrated or freestanding cooker hood, or you can use this area for a sink, as this kitchen does. Building in storage is also key, but perhaps only on the cook’s side, so that the finished island has a cleaner look from outside the space.

The island is also a great space to also house a breakfast bar. This can be done in.a variety of ways depending on the shape of your space. Try introducing a different material to define this space, as this kitchen does.
