4 Kitchen islands trends in 2023
Date
Kitchen islands are an ever-evolving trend that’s becoming increasingly popular in modern homes. While most think that islands are an item used exclusively in large open-concept kitchens, architects have managed to incorporate them regardless of the size of the room.
Another unfounded belief about kitchen islands is that they are just static spaces that should be made with limited materials. Nothing could be further from the truth. But to give you an idea of how broad the current spectrum of kitchen islands is, here are 4 kitchen island trends you should consider if you’re thinking about renovating your kitchen in 2023:
Trend 1: the multifunctional kitchen island
This is a growing trend. Today, kitchen islands not only serve as additional space for food preparation since they can also be used as a dining table or even as additional storage space, so they are no longer a decorative element connecting the dining room and the kitchen. A distinctive feature of these multifunctional islands is that they often have a built-in cooktop.
Tip: If you’re thinking of incorporating a multifunctional island into your kitchen, make sure it has enough space for all the activities you plan to do in it.
Trend 2: Kitchen island with a sink
They are also a popular trend right now. These islands offer a convenient way to wash dishes and prepare food at the same time. They can also be used as a breakfast bar or as an additional eating space.
In these islands, the sink draws all the attention. Luckily, some brands offer a diversity of styles, materials, colors, and even applied technologies. Take a look at our website to see what Franke, Kindred, and The Galley have to offer to give a different touch to this type of island.
Tip: Make sure that there are no faults with the drainage system and that everything is perfectly functional in its installation.
Trend 3: Kitchen island with open shelves
Islands with open shelves continue to gain popularity. Perfect for those who like to show off their tableware, décor, or cooking utensils, they offer a modern and elegant look to the kitchen.
Tip: This is a high-maintenance type of island. Not only because the open shelves tend to get dusty very easily, but also because they must be organized regularly to avoid large accumulations that generate a messy appearance in the kitchen.
Trend 4. Mobile island
As we told you at the beginning, islands are no longer fixed or immovable. The islands with wheels are a wonderful option that provides a lot of flexibility and helps to maximize space.
These islands can be moved and used for food preparation or as a sharing space. Being portable, it can be placed in different ways depending on the space, when it is in use or not.
Tip: Be careful about the type of island you choose for this style and make sure it includes good-quality wheels to avoid damaging your kitchen floor.
As you can see, each of these kitchen island trends can be adapted to your taste and needs. The important thing is that it is functional and designed according to your lifestyle and requirements. We hope you find this information useful!
