These statement pieces enhanced a kitchen and set it apart from others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nowadays, though, islands are taking the place as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nar.realtor\/magazine\/real-estate-news\/home-and-design\/5-kitchen-trends-to-watch\">kitchen must-have<\/a>. Buyers might not consider it a deal killer if a kitchen has no island, but the house may not get the same attention, says salesperson Barb St. Amant with Atlanta Fine Homes, Sotheby\u2019s International.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the number one design feature our clients ask for in a kitchen,\u201d says John Potter, architect and partner at Morgante Wilson Architects in Chicago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They might be trending now, but islands are hardly new. The difference today is that islands have evolved into an aesthetic touch and a space for gathering, rather than an area dedicated solely to kitchen tasks like chopping and prepping. \u201cKitchen islands can be gathering spots for the family for breakfast or the cocktail hangout spot when entertaining,\u201d says Rozit Arditi, principal of New York City\u2013based Arditi Design. \u201cIt\u2019s also the main conversation area where everyone gathers while cooking,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Add to that a homework center, a space for gift wrapping, and a dinner spot as families become more casual, Potter says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such versatility means islands are now larger, which is in step with kitchens themselves getting bigger. Many kitchens today function as part of an open-plan layout and a bridge between the workspace and entertainment areas, says designer John Hall of JH Design International in Chagrin Falls, Ohio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sleek is in, which means many kitchens now lack upper cabinets. Still, a longer and wider kitchen island makes up the storage difference, says designer Jodi Swartz of KitchenVisions in Boston.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bigger islands can also fit more seating. Although the pandemic didn\u2019t initiate any changes in the island, it\u2019s thought to have increased how often people congregate around it, says kitchen designer Mick De Giulio of de Giulio Kitchen Design in Chicago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than just the workhorse of the past, the kitchen island offers homeowners all kinds of new options, styles and uses, so long as it is designed functionally. Here are some considerations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Size<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The size should be based partly on the room\u2019s dimensions so that the island is proportional to the space. How it\u2019s used should also influence its size. Visually, there should be enough open space in the room, too. \u201cOpen space and flow are more important than having one more cabinet for storage,\u201d says designer JT Norman of Kitchen Magic in Nazareth, Penn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suppose the kitchen space isn\u2019t large enough. In that case, an alternative may be a peninsula, once popular and still a viable option, says designer Fabrice Garson of Bilotta Kitchen &amp; Home in Mamaroneck, N.Y.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Placement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Where an island can fit in the room will also affect its size, says De Giulio. It shouldn\u2019t be in the way of traffic to other rooms or other parts of the kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf you have to walk around an island to get from a sink to a refrigerator each time, that doesn\u2019t make sense,\u201d De Giulio says. \u201cI still believe in the principles of the work triangle,\u201d he says, a concept formulated by the National Kitchen and Bath Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The amount of aisle space between the island and perimeter countertops and cabinetry is important, too. De Giulio advises 48 inches\u2014enough space so that, with a dishwasher\u2019s door open all the way, two people can pass easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Main Functions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When designers at Bilotta Kitchen &amp; Home first meet with a client, they ask about the homeowner\u2019s lifestyle and preferences and design around the answers, Garson says. Some islands may include more than one level to separate functions such as mixing drinks at a bar sink on an upper level or comfortably rolling out a pastry on a lower level. Appliances like a dishwasher or beverage cooler are also popular island options, says Michael Cox, principal with Foley &amp; Cox in New York City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Double Islands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Superlarge kitchens are increasingly designed with two smaller islands, rather than one enormous unit that is unwieldy to get around. Another selling point for two islands is that functions can be divided between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, De Giulio has designed one island for working and congregating and the other for setting out a buffet and serving, he says. Garson has designed one island for sitting and gathering, homework, and eating and a second with a sink and appliances\u2014\u201ca real workstation,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For comfortable seating, De Giulio prefers a standard 36-inch counter height rather than higher 42-inch bar height. \u201cMany children find it hard to sit on a stool at that height,\u201d he says. Norman advises leaving 24 inches between stools for elbow room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One option that Hall is incorporating in some islands is to have a second seating area. A table can extend from the island at a lower 30-inch height for a comfortable option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cabinet Construction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For storage, De Giulio favors drawers. Heights within should vary to fit what\u2019s stored. Deep drawers work for a large pot or blender, while shallow ones work for towels and silverware. Arditi suggests adding shelves to cabinets for cookbooks and staggered storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Countertop Materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Swartz\u2019s first rule of thumb is that homeowners understand that no material is 100% indestructible. That means they should not take anything hot off a range or from an oven and place it directly on any surface, including the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s popular now are manmade surfaces that look good and can be used with less worry, Garson says. Cox favors stress-free surfaces like absolute black granite and pure white Caesarstone. Some homeowners like to integrate a butcher block or live-edge, Garson says, while others may favor a marble space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Multiple types of edges can complete the countertop. De Giulio thinks square edges look crisp and clean in a modern kitchen while an ogee or furniture edge appears more traditional. Other popular styles include eased, pencil, and bullnose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Permanent or Removable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some designers and homeowners prefer a table or other piece of furniture for a less utilitarian look. A movable trolley, for instance, can be wheeled about the room. \u201cIt makes the space flexible and accommodating,\u201d Swartz says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The downside of a table is that the island aspect becomes less practical, since it usually won\u2019t have storage or be at the best height for multiple tasks. The problem with a mobile design is that islands tend to get heavy with stuff piled atop them, and then aren\u2019t easy to move, De Giulio says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lighting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The familiar style of three pendant lights above an island has become almost a clich\u00e9. De Giulio now favors more linear, longer fixtures in metal or metal and wood that match the scale of the island. \u201cThey appear to float above the space,\u201d he says. Cox likes to balance quality task lighting with a \u201ckiller decorative fixture for a central focal point,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BONUS: Mix and Match?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>White kitchens still rank number one in popularity, according to surveys from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.houzz.com\/magazine\/white-cabinets-remain-at-the-top-of-kitchen-wish-lists-stsetivw-vs~102410579\">online design and remodeling source Houzz(link is external)<\/a>. However, introducing another color or material differentiates an island and adds punch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Garson finds that more than half of his clients now want a different material or color for the island than what they use around the perimeter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sandya Dandamudi, president of Chicago-based GI Stone, a supplier, fabricator and installer of custom stone, sees the mix-and-match look exploding. \u201cSeveral of our clients select quartz counters for the perimeter, which includes around the sink and cooktop, and opt for an exotic natural stone for the island and backsplashes. This is a great way to combine practical needs and aesthetic tastes,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Will this multicolor look remain in vogue? \u201cShort of white or cream, what isn\u2019t trendy?\u201d Swartz asks. \u201cCabinets are fashion. Some elements go out of style every 10 to 15 years. People should choose wisely and best match the feel of their home\u2019s architecture,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>De Giulio advises that homeowners base color choices on what looks best to their eye. \u201cIt depends on a room\u2019s whole artistry,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a9National Association of REALTORS\u00ae<br \/>Reprinted with permission<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New trends in kitchen islands offer versatility in function and design, as well as an aesthetic boost.
