Design Ideas for Kitchen Islands

Most wood frame homes are custom built to accommodate the homeowner’s preferences for how many bedrooms they need, how the kitchen should be designed, and more. If you’re in the planning stage of building your own wood frame home, here are some kitchen island designs to help you plan your perfect kitchen. Kitchen islands can expand your workspace, give your kitchen its own personality, and come in a variety of design options.

big Island

Nowadays, more people are entertaining and eating at home, so having a large kitchen island would be very useful. It can be built to be a work space and a place for the kids to do their homework and eat breakfast. Some can even be built long and skinny so that there can be as many as eight or more seats and more room around the perimeter. The time will depend on the available space.

peaks and valleys

Today, many people have multi-level kitchen islands. This layout is great for hiding meal prep clutter. The art of disguise is not the only reason to choose this design for your wood frame houses. You can also incorporate a variety of surface materials such as a butcher block area for chopping vegetables, a granite surface for placing hot pans, or marble which is good for rolling out cake batter. Various surfaces and heights add dimension and function to your kitchen design,

If you are a homeowner who finds that one kitchen island is not enough, you can always build two islands if you have the space to do so. With island hopping or double islands, you can have dedicated storage areas and designated work zones.

far from everything

This is another increasingly popular style of kitchen islands for your new wood frame home. Designers call it “the mismatched look.” Basically, it looks like a piece of furniture, not a component that belongs in the kitchen. You can give this kitchen cabinet component a different counter top, turned leg, along with other details for furniture style components. It is often accentuated by placing it on a colorful rug.

This kitchen countertop design offers you a variety of designs like nondescript, crescent-shaped or wavy. If it suits your kitchen, budget and taste, build the kitchen counter you want. With a unique design, it will be the toast of the internet.

far beyond

In a wood frame home, you don’t have to stop the height of your building level at your waist. With the right home design and proper planning, you could even build a set of cabinets upstairs with glass doors so everyone can see your variable collections.
