WHO SAYS YOU HAVE TO COMPROMISE AESTHETICS FOR FUNCTIONALITY? HERE’S HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR KITCHEN TO ACCOUNT FOR BOTH.
Island remodel
When it comes to the design of your island, you’ll need to consider its functionality. If you’re planning on using it as a dining area, your cooktops and sinks should be placed a safe distance away. Need to use the island to function as an additional worktop? Choosing a hardier surface material will do wonders for its longevity, but it could also look aesthetically pleasing if you have it drop vertically down the sides for a continuous flow to the floor. Alternatively, you can build in storage niches into the island to house your cutlery, utensils and mini appliances if you need more storage space.
