Create a Central Work Area

There is a lot of functionality and options when it comes to a kitchen island. Your kitchen island can include a range, sink, dishwasher, or extra cabinet storage. The possibilities are endless, you just have to decide the features that matter the most to your lifestyle. Ragan Cabinets also offers some great cabinet accessories to feature in your island, such as a custom wine rack! If you choose to not put a sink in your island, a great features of an island is the extra countertop space! Most people who use their kitchens a lot will agree that you can never have too much counter space when you are cooking.

Create Additional Seating 

Another benefit to adding an island to your kitchen is you can add an additional place to eat. Whether you want to eat breakfast there or you host parties that require more seating, an island is a great solution. There are a lot of options for making your island with additional seating, contact your Lake of the Ozarks cabinet shop to discuss the vision you have for your kitchen! Consider making your island different heights. The lower level can be used for your work area and the higher area can be used for your eating space. Purchasing unique barstools can add style to your kitchen, and help make your new kitchen island be the focal point of your kitchen.


Change Up the Island Countertop Material 

You don't have to use the same material for your island countertop as you did for the rest of your counters. Consider using a different material for your kitchen island to make it stand out. You can use tile, a butcher block, or a variety of other materials. A butcher block adds a unique style to your kitchen and it can function as a cutting board at the same time!

Add a Pop of Color 

A popular way to add color to your kitchen tastefully is to choose a color for your island. If you like the classic look of wood cabinets, adding color to your kitchen island is a great way to add a stylish look to your kitchen.

A kitchen island is a great addition to any kitchen design! We will help you to choose a design that you will not only love but is sure to stay in style for decades to come. Our cabinets are well built and high quality, so choosing a style that won't go out of style is important because our cabinets are built to last.
