Kitchen Island?
15 Answers
Please can someone tell me the point of having an island in the kitchen - it seems to be all the rage at the moment. As far as I can see it just gets in the way of normal free-flow movement!

You can do your chopping etc., put the peelings and whatnot down the waste disposal and wash your hands at the sink all in the same space. You'd have your fridge and oven positioned so you don't have to move around too much. And then you can sit at the same space to eat.

Our island is the best thing we ever did when planning our kitchen - it gives more work space and socialising space. I often see huge kitchens on telly which are crying out for an island rather than having masses of unused space. An island was a necessity for us when planning our kitchen. Each to your own though.
