Added Seating

Many island bars are built for two or more people to sit at and enjoy a more casual meal. An island with an overhang for seating makes serving and cleanup simple. Whether it’s for snacks, breakfasts, or lunches. More space means more utility, too. The breakfast bar style island comes with built-in storage, drawers and convenient space for the things you need to use often. To go meals can be packed and lined up on top, and everyone can be out the door with no fuss. Enjoy a lovely morning with an island like this one in 28th at Brookwood.

Sinks and Storage

A sink in the island opens up counter space near your cooktop. And, it allows you to take care of common kitchen tasks while still facing out toward your living or dining room. Cabinets will help you maximize storage space in your kitchen and keep everything you need close at hand. With its generous central sink and plentiful storage, entertaining around this kitchen in Park Chase is luxuriously spacious.

Easy-Access Appliances

Finally, the island is the perfect spot for a few appliances. A pull-out microwave can be within arm’s reach and ready for quick heating. Elongated islands like this can also house your dishwasher. Transfer dishes to the dishwasher spill-free. Keeping everything within the same lane in the kitchen can help food prep go smoothly.
