Today's kitchen island does more than just offer extra counter space. It can be the command center of your entire kitchen. Here's how to make it count.
Design multi-level islands with separate areas for prepping, cooking, and dining. It adds function and visual interest.
Add a wine fridge, microwave drawer, or sink to make your island a true workstation.
Deep drawers, hidden cabinets, and open shelving can expand your kitchen's storage footprint dramatically.
Use a contrasting color or countertop material to turn your island into a focal point.
