When it comes to modern kitchen design, the addition of a kitchen island is a must. They’re not only multi-functional – offering a space for meal prep and storage as well as a surface to eat upon – they can also be super stylish, acting as a focal point for your whole kitchen design.
And if you thought there was only style of kitchen island available, you’d be wrong. Whatever type of kitchen you’re dreaming of, we’re certain we can find the perfect kitchen island to meet your design and functionality needs.
Short on space? You can still benefit from a kitchen island; you’ll just need to opt for something slim that still keeps the aisles open. While a slimmer island doesn’t give you enough space for dining, it can still provide you with that all-important storage and prep space.
If you’re looking for a fabulous focal point for your kitchen, a statement kitchen island, designed with luxury materials could be all you need. Opt for high-end materials like marble, burnished metal and mottled granites for that super-luxe look.
For a modern retro look ask your designer to wrap your kitchen island in glacier white Corian all the way around, adding coloured lighting below. This gives the illusion of a floating island that’s both sleek and trendy.
When you think of a kitchen island a rectangular shape may come to mind, but if you’ve got a lot of space to play with why not opt for something different?
Circular or triangular islands break up hard angles and straight lines to create a more open and organic feel. Great for dining around, but less functional for storage, it’s a great option for those looking for something truly unique.
If you’re looking to create a farmhouse feel in your kitchen, opt for a large butcher block island. Designed with a thick top that contrasts with the island’s base, this type of island is highly functional and aesthetic.
What’s more, with a few bar stools, eating at the island will create an intimate dining experience – much like a show kitchen where you dine with the chef.
Part of the kitchen island’s popularity comes down to its contemporary style. If this is the main reason you’ve opted for an island make sure you choose the right features to accentuate its contemporary style.
Sleek materials, pendant lighting, or small designer lamps hung from the ceiling all help to create the look.

A SLEEK, CONTEMPORARY KITCHEN WITH A T-SHAPED ISLAND
When a client decided to replace the kitchen in his Ribble Valley home, he approached Kitchen Design Centre and Blackburn Showroom Manager Will Hustler after a recommendation from his business partner.
“I’m delighted with the look of the kitchen but also how functional it is. Will really thought about how the kitchen would work from a cooking perspective.”

What a transformation by Simon at our Barrowford showroom. SWIPE for the before and after.
Our client chose the lovely (finger print proof)matt Umbra and black velvet oak doors with striking Calacatta quartz worktops. The Umbra was chosen to coordinate with their existing dining set.
Simon from our Barrowford showroom ran the project with Graham from GCL Developments @gcldevelopments. All fitted while the customer were on holiday for a month.
Matching utility with wash basket storage, maximum floor to ceiling units and dog wash sink. The design was to open up the space and make all the rooms work as one family space, with defined areas/zones.
