Kitchen islands are common features in the modern kitchen. A kitchen island in the center of the kitchen adds a stylish touch and convenience to cooking spaces. It acts as the focal point of your kitchen and eases the organization of a variety of stuff. There are a wide range of island designs. But movable islands have grown more popular thanks to the versatility. They allow you to change their placement when necessary. You can shift them around the cooking space or completely move them out of the kitchen. The modern island not only serves as a movable island but can also be used as a serving trolley. If you are planning to buy a portable island, here are some design plans that you may want to consider.
Portable Island Design Ideas
Simple Portable Design
This is a simple and cost-effective plan. When it comes to the actual design itself, it’s similar to the conventional islands. You may add closed cabinets underneath the countertop for storage. You can put small kitchen tools in the drawers. The wheels, which are fixed at the bottom of the portable island, allow you to change its position from the center of your cooking space to the corners or out of the cooking area depending on your needs and preferences. When buying the countertop, ensure you consider the kitchen décor and theme, such as the shade and material of the cabinet and countertop, to enhance the overall look of the kitchen.
Serving Trolley Styled Movable Island
If you want to liven up a smaller kitchen, then this is the ideal option. Small islands designed for placing serving utensils and cooked food can also act as serving trolleys that make it more convenient to move meals to the dining space. So a combination of a serving trolley and an island can be perfect and easy to use. The structure consists of a countertop (should match with your kitchen countertop), 2-4 open shelves and 2 drawers. The lower part can also be divided into 2 vertical halves. The right half may be used as a closed unit with compartments and the left one for open shelves.
Dining and Island Combo
Kitchen islands that have breakfast bars have become very popular today. You can choose such a island that also doubles as a dining table or breakfast table. If you stay in a smaller apartment without separate dining areas, these islands are the ideal option. You can get well designed kitchen islands with stools and an extended countertop in front of the base structure. This will allow your leg some room when sitting on a stool and using this countertop as a dining table.
Apart from the design plans given above, there are many more other variations of this movable kitchen furniture. Ensure that the dimensions are smaller to allow easy movement of the island from its place. Look for islands with high quality wheels that have a locking facility. Finally, always insist on a well-organized and multipurpose island.
