Making changes to your home decor is always exciting, and you might be positively gleeful at the idea of a contemporary, state-of-the-art kitchen island. But what many people do is skip the practical decisions and jump straight to the styling – what material should my worktop be, should it have a waterfall counter, and what colour cabinets should I choose?
Before you get to the styling, there are lots of other things to consider first. For instance, what purpose do you want your kitchen island to serve? The answer to this lies in the problem your island will solve.
Keep in mind the purpose of your island throughout the entire planning process so your project has a focus.
