What do first pay attention when styling a kitchen? Cabinets, amybe appliances but there’s one more super important item that is very helpful in all kinds of kitchen work. A kitchen island is a popular piece for kitchens of various layouts as it’s a comfy item to use for cooking, peeling and even serving and consuming food and drinks. But besides these functions, besides built-in appliances and lights a kitchen island can be also a storage unit, and we definitely recommend you go for such an option.

As kitchen islands are all different, storage space they provide is also different. If you have a table-like kitchen island, you might have an additional shelf underneath to store and display dishes, tableware and other stuff. Even if you don’t have this shelf, you may add it if necessary. A standard cabinet-like kitchen island may feature storage space behind doors and also on the outside – some open shelving on the sides and not only. Contemporary kitchen islands may show off beautiful open shelves that accent the corners of the island, built-in wine coolers and just wine storage units. Building them in might be costly and not very easy but it’s worth it!
