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 CONTEMPORARY GRAPHITE KITCHEN WITH HINTS OF WALNUT
Sandra and Dave discovered Kitchen Design Centre while visiting Housing Units in Failsworth. They were immediately impressed by the showroom and its wide range of displays. However, it was designer Paul Harrington who truly stood out.
Sandra and Dave discovered Kitchen Design Centre while visiting Housing Units in Failsworth. They were immediately impressed by the showroom and its wide range of displays. However, it was designer Paul Harrington who truly stood out. His relaxed demeanour and genuine enthusiasm convinced them to work with him, without considering any other kitchen companies.
With a wish list that included an island and a contemporary aesthetic, they gave Paul full creative freedom. They loved a drinks area featured in one of the showroom displays and requested its inclusion, along with lighting beneath the island. Beyond these, they only provided the room measurements, and they were amazed by the design Paul delivered.

AWARD-WINNING KITCHENS FOR AN AWARD-WINNING DEVELOPER
As you may know if you’ve visited any of our showrooms in Manchester, Blackburn, Liverpool or Barrowford, we manage more than 250 kitchen projects each year here at Kitchen Design Centre. Many of these kitchens are for individual customers, but we also specialise in providing exceptional designer kitchens to housebuilders and developers. We have a particularly successful longstanding relationship with Candelisa, a prestigious Yorkshire-based property developer that is (like us) known for the peerless quality of its designs.
The company already has an impressive array of awards on its shelves, and its team have recently managed to secure their latest accolade: the Best High Volume New Housing Development at the prestigious LABC Awards!
In case you need a quick refresher, the LABC Awards are the largest business-to-business awards in the UK’s building control sector, aimed at celebrating and rewarding building projects, and the people behind them. The Best High Volume New Housing Development in question was Candelisa’s project at Countyfields, Embsay. Due to our strong relationship with the company (largely through Simon Thomas, the head of our Barrowford showroom), Kitchen Design Centre was chosen to deliver every kitchen at the Embsay development – and like Candelisa’s team, we’re hugely proud of the results.
