How can I maximize the functionality of my kitchen island?

[Monggi]

A kitchen island serves as a versatile workstation and gathering spot, but maximizing its functionality requires careful planning. What features and design elements should I consider when designing or updating a kitchen island, such as storage options, seating arrangements, or built-in appliances?

Think drawers over cabinets for the island! Easier to reach everything in the back, no more digging for that random spice you need ..Plus, add some built-in shelves on one end - perfect for cookbooks or displaying pretty bowls 😊

I think adding storage underneath your kitchen island can maximize functionality. Though it might require some planning, installing cabinets or drawers can help keep your cookware, utensils, and pantry items organized and easily accessible. 🗄️🍴
