5. Hardworking islandGet your kitchen island to play jack of all trades and be multi-functional, by adding bespoke elements to the basic unit. Here, a table section at chair height forms an L at the end of the island, while a shelving unit on the other side provides a useful storage area for crockery, thus offering increased storage and additional workspace.
Go for an island comboIf you have young children who are out of highchairs but not yet tall enough to climb and sit safely on a bar stool, consider lowering one end of your island to create an informal seating area that little ones and their friends can sit around comfortably. Different levels identify the different functions of this island, and the standard-height table area is perfect for children to eat supper and do their homework.
