Update Your Kitchen Island’s Design and Go Vintage

Decorative architectural components in the kitchen can transform your space from an ordinary one to a room with character and style. When walking into a kitchen, the eyes are naturally drawn towards the center of the room, which makes your kitchen island the perfect place to add some personality.

Skip the standard kitchen island and consider some of these inspirational alternatives: Butcher Block Island: Not only will this provide a sense of function in your kitchen, but this timeless material works especially well in a smaller kitchen space. Farm Table Island: There is no question that the farm table has gained popularity in kitchen design, and this working-style table is perfect for your kitchen island as well to achieve a vintage look. Console Table Island: What is so great about this type of island is that they typically have bottom shelving, which is ideal for storing large pots and pans. Re-purposed Buffet Island: This is a cost-effective island solution as one can usually be picked up inexpensively at a second-hand store and refinished to coordinate with your kitchen with a carpenter’s help.
