Choosing the right kitchen island designs
Size
You want to make sure that your kitchen island is in accordance with the size of the kitchen so it does not look out of place. If you have a spacious kitchen choose an island that is forty to fifty-five inches wide but so it does not take up too much room in your kitchen, no matter what size it is, choose one that is twenty-four to thirty inches wide.
Shape
Most kitchen island designs come in a G, U, or L shape with a G-shape being the most preferred but you can also design the shape you want and will fit in your kitchen the best. Today’s trend is the round shape
Counter tops
The two most preferred today are marble and granite with granite being the most expensive. Granite counter tops are noted for their resistance against scratches and heat and durability so if you can afford it, this is the counter top you should use in your kitchen island designs. You can also use stainless steel or wooden counter tops but they can show stains and scratches more.
