The Benefits of a Custom Kitchen Island
Anytime a custom kitchen island is around, either in a spacious kitchen or a smaller one, the home feels closer to a functional haven because it reflects the personality of the family. Kitchen islands have much to offer, including:
more cabinet space for extra dishes and appliances to hide in
a spacious countertop to present charcuterie boards full of fun food when you want to host a party
supplementary seating space when that party gets too full or if you want to maintain a conversation up close
a safe coloring station for the kids after breakfast
a hub for your remote work
another quaint spot to decorate for the seasons
and a focal point for guests, even yourself, to wow at.
These are some of the amusing and practical benefits of having a custom kitchen island. With that said, here are more details for why you’d want one in your home, crafted by Olive Branch Woodworking.
Efficient Storage
As mentioned earlier, a custom kitchen island provides the perfect storage space for your family’s needs and wants, plus ancillary custom cabinetry to match it! At Olive Branch, we have created several beautiful kitchen centerpieces that our customers still rave about and express their gratitude for.
Why Go Custom for Your Cabinet Storage?
Whether it’s for kitchen or home accessories, bread ties, spices, cutlery, zip lock baggies, random phone cords, hand towels, cutting boards, etc… custom cabinets and drawers offer unparalleled functionality and organization to keep clutter at a minimum. By opting for custom, you gain control of how things fit in your kitchen island and kitchen. Custom cabinets also allow for:
Built-in organizers so everything has its ideal spot.
Full functionality, with no space left behind.
Personalized unique design that pleases you every time you enter your kitchen.
At Olive Branch, we can also implement pull-out pantries, corner solutions, drawer dividers, and under-sink organizers.
Unoccupied Countertops
One of the many benefits of having a kitchen island is the surplus of countertop capacity. Most people don’t love to work or cook in a confined area and it’s always relieving knowing that you have more elbow room to use, especially if there’s more than one individual in the kitchen.
Additional Seating
When it pertains to your kitchen, nothing is more intentional than having seating at your kitchen island. The closeness allows you to continuously carry on silly or in-depth conversations with the people around you, while you prep, cook, clean, or work.
By having a place to gather close, you’ll feel the relief from the need to engage from across the room, speak with your outside voice, or repeatedly ask, “What? What you’d say?”. Purposeful conversations or helping your children with their homework will no longer feel like an interruption but an invitation.
Personalized Barstools and Chairs
At Olive Branch Woodworking, our team works with the finest quality of wood and is more than capable of uniquely crafting tailored seating to your liking. Style and size are up to you.
Focal Point
Having a custom kitchen island in your home expands the liveliness and beauty while complimenting the designs, decorations, and setup of your kitchen, living room, office space, etc.
A Touch of Creativity
Being able to customize your kitchen island encourages what you envision and challenges Olive Branch Woodworking to create creatively.
Sizing, shape, color, and choice of wood are the key factors to how you want your kitchen island to look and function. Attaching wheels is a fun touch in making it mobile, allowing it to change in position and whereabouts.
Conclusion
Altogether, it’s never a regretful decision to add a custom kitchen island to your home. It brings in invigorating creativity, compliments the rooms around it, evokes quality, fosters intentionality, eases the mind by decluttering, and encourages functionality.
