Captivating Islands

Posted on Friday, July 24th, 2015.

Guests and family alike seem drawn to kitchens with large islands. There’s something about the expanse of counter space and the openness that causes people to gather around. When homeowners come to Wood Wise to remodel their kitchen, they ask for an island – or maybe two – to be included in the designs. Our kitchen designer Kathy Walker understands optimum island sizes, distance needed between cabinets, and what shape looks best in a space. She works with clients to choose the best cabinet configuration for good storage with additions of shelves, good lighting, and countertop. Our kitchen gallery features many shapes and sizes of islands. Here is one that is a favorite with everyone who sees it:

The lighted glass-front cabinet at the end of the island provides a place to display a favorite plate or bowl.
