Eight Eye-Catching Islands

As the visual anchor of the kitchen, it’s important to find an island that appeals to your style, gives you functionality and creates an efficient workflow. There are endless ways you can design kitchen islands, but here’s some ideas to get you started.

L-Shaped

Curved Waterfall Edge

This island is all about the glamour. Not only is it curved, but it also features a dramatic waterfall edge dropping the countertop all the way to the floor, creating a stunning focal point for this kitchen.

Mixed Materials

The mixture of wood, metal and natural stone in this kitchen island creates both contrast and dimension. The transition between wood and stone is accentuated by metal accents that add to the complexity of the design.

Oversized

Double
