Dream Kitchen Islands
2020 is the year of the 'living kitchen' where function, aesthetics and technology combine to make day-to-day life a little easier. Kitchens are a crucial element in the home, they’re a space for entertaining, a place for catching up with family and loved ones at the end of the day, and importantly, where breakfast is grabbed and culinary delights are whipped up, so it’s crucial that they’re both practical and enjoyable spaces.
The kitchen island has been growing in popularity for a number of years now. They add extra space for food preparation, allow more storage and provide a sociable space for friends and family to sit and chat when meals are being prepared. In celebration of the this common fixture in our homes, we’ve taken a look at the latest kitchen island trends to help you decide on the perfect island to suit the style of your home.
Colour Clash
Want to create an eye-catching focal point in your kitchen? Then don’t be afraid to clash, clash, clash! We love a pop of bright colour on an island; it’ll catch attention as soon as you enter the room. We suggest mixing textures and adding coloured seating to create a fun space with a difference.
Legs Eleven!
We’ve been hearing lots about ‘leggy islands’ lately, they’re a great way to add interest to an island and to create an illusion of more space as the more floor space that’s visible, the larger your kitchen will look.
