Your Guide to Kitchen Islands

Kitchen islands are a great addition to any kitchen, providing storage, a work-space, and a dinning place.  They make up for any limited pantry and counter space. You simply can’t go wrong with a Kitchen Island!

But we know the vast selection of available Kitchen Islands can be overwhelming. We wanted to help you as you choose the perfect Kitchen Island for your home, an exquisite accent to your kitchen.

1- Choose Your Purpose

Before moving onto the size and design of your Kitchen Island, you need to decide what you will use this Island for. Of course, your island can have a variety of functions but it helps to choose the most prominent purpose to guide you in your search.

Do you need an island that maximizes the little space your kitchen has while also providing spacious storage?  Are you looking for a place to prepare your meals, an additional counter top for your meal creation?

Perhaps you’re interested in an island that will become the hub of your kitchen—a place to gather with your loved ones for dinning on delicious dishes.

Storage:

Storage is an integral part of every kitchen—without it, our peaceful abodes will become cluttered with a mess of dishes and containers.

We recommend our 4’ Kitchen Island if you’re searching for an island with optimal storage. Complete with two drawers and an adjustable shelf, this island will help you maximize your kitchen space to the fullest.

Work-space:

An Kitchen Island that provides a spacious surface to help your prepare your work is a must. While we don’t recommend placing hot pots or cutting directly on our island tops, these pine-base, maple-top islands are hardy and structurally sound.

Dinning:

If you’re looking for a place to dine an island with an extended top may be the perfect match for you!

Our Six Door Kitchen Island with an extended top provides an over-hang ledge for extra dinning space. The best part? You can customize your extended top so it fits the size of your family perfectly.

2- Select a Size

Depending on your purpose, your Kitchen Island size may vary.

Are you hoping to fit eight people around the island for dinning? If so, we recommend customizing your order so that you can extend the islands sides which will provide overhang surface for eating.

For a modest amount of surface and storage, we love our Small Kitchen Island.

Ideal for apartments or smaller families, this island provides an intimate eating space and features an open place for display and hidden storage with an adjustable shelf.

3- Decide on a Design

Now for the most fun part: selecting a style! Are you looking for a primitive country design like our Large 5′ Kitchen Island with Turned Legs stained in Light Stain and Varnish?

Perhaps a sleek, modern look caught your eye. Our Two Door Kitchen Island boats smooth lines and a classic design for those interested in simple, stunning look.

Fun Fact: Our most popular paints are the black and antique white.  Most people enjoy the subtle quality of these classic paints!

There’s no rules to deciding on the island design right for you! Our Amish builders handcraft these islands with utmost care and precision. Whatever design you choose will look stunning in your home.

Let your home speak for you — tidy, ambitious, welcoming, or all three! Your kitchen can encompass any style and better yet, with these Kitchen Islands, you’ll never want to leave.
