While covering kitchens in the Kitchen, Bath & Lighting class, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the different types of kitchen islands that are currently out there and the different functions of them. Take a look at these islands!

This is a traditional kitchen island seen in a lot of kitchens and homes today. It is very functional and used as storage, prep space, and a gathering spot in the kitchen. This island is topped with granite countertops and a beautiful wood is used on the cabinets. This island dresses up the space and makes it complete and functional.

As you can see here this kitchen island is not your average, traditional island. Here the island is turned into the backing for a bench, booth seat with a pulled up table, meant for an eat in area. The great part about this island is its multi-functionality, it can be used in prep area and counterspace, as well as the backing for the seat. Interesting idea!

Here in this space the island is used as a big wine storage cooler on one side, and cabinet storage on the other. This is a great option to use with your kitchen if you are a big wine drinker or collector, it will save space, and it adds a little bit of a decorative detail as well as serves function and purpose. Another great way to use an island!

Here is a oversized table used as an island, this is another thing that is common in kitchens. Depending on the overall feel or aesthetic of the kitchen itself this may be a great idea to utilize for your space! Also, as seen here, you can pull up stools and chairs to have seating around all sides, and also can have storage space on the bottom. Love this look!
