Top Tips to Design the Perfect Kitchen Island

The kitchen is the heart of the home, where family and friends gather to share meals, stories, and laughter. But what makes a kitchen truly special? The answer is simple: a kitchen island. If you're designing your shore home in Avalon and Stone Harbor, The Cabinet Co. has some top tips to help you create the perfect kitchen island.

• Size & Space. Consider the size and space of your kitchen. You want your island to be proportional to the size of the room and leave ample space for people to move around and access surrounding appliances. 

• Functionality. Will your island be used for food prep, cooking, or entertaining? Make sure it has proper storage and seating space to meet your specific needs - whether it’s the adults, the kids…or even the dog!

• Style & Design. Your island should complement the overall aesthetic of your kitchen, with a pop of color and a design that enhances the space's appeal. 

• Lighting. Lighting is another key element, with pendant lighting and under-cabinet lighting adding both functionality and style.

• Seating. With a shore home in Avalon or Stone Harbor, your kitchen will be the gathering place for happy hours, post-dinner cocktails, and family fun. Incorporate a variety of textures, materials, and colors to create a welcoming and stylish space that everyone will love.
