Kitchen islands are where families gather to eat, create memories and spend time with one another. In other words… islands are often the hub of any home. Knowing what elements to consider when designing your island will help ensure that you and your family get the most out of this hard working design feature. Here’s some of our favourite custom kitchen island types to consider when building your dream space.

Different Kitchen Island Types

Kitchen Island Table

This space-saving kitchen island is one of the more functional choices! If your kitchen footprint does not allow for a full-scale eat in kitchen, a kitchen island table is a wonderful alternative. This custom-built kitchen island table offers plenty of space to serve food, entertain and have your family dine together. This type of kitchen island is best for people who are working with a smaller footprint as it takes up less space, while simultaneously offering dual functionality for food preparation and dining.

Fully Functional Island

This one’s for the at-home chefs! If you love to cook and entertain, you may want to consider a fully functional kitchen island.

You can think of a fully functional kitchen island as your one-stop-shop for all things cooking and entertaining! Equipped with electrical outlets, a sink, dishwasher, a receptacle, small appliances and plenty of countertop space for food prep, this extremely hard-working island offers everything you would need in a busy kitchen. This type of kitchen island is best suited for people who want to make the very most of their kitchen islands.

Double-tiered Cooking/Eating Kitchen Island

This visually stimulating type of kitchen island has an ergonomic design which allows family members to cook and eat on different levels, creating a separate space for food preparation and casual dining. Typically, one island tier is bar height while the other island tier is counter height. Many people believe that this island only works in traditional spaces, as the double-tier may interrupt the clean design and visual flow of modern spaces. However, our kitchen display proves that we can make the double-tiered island work in any space.

Double Kitchen Island

Sometimes two is better than one!

If you have the space, why not opt for a double kitchen island? Ample storage, increased functionality, great flow… the pros are endless! One island often functions as food prep, while the other functions as dining, which makes double islands an entertainer's dream. This type of kitchen island evokes a glamorous feel to your kitchen with its spacious layout and incredible built-in features.

if you’re looking to increase the functionality of your kitchen, you can never go wrong with a double kitchen island for its versatility!
