Kitchen Islands

A marvel of space saving that came into vogue in the early 1970's the island has proved indispensable to the modern kitchen. Most islands are made by combining the base cabinets and installing a veneer backing on the exposed side. So there are cupboards for small appliance storage like food processors, blenders, etc. Most people like to show off their cappuccino makers so you will most likely find this on the kitchen counter.

Other duties for the island include the cooktop, extra sink, butcher block, wine rack with attached cooler and breakfast table.

Kitchen Storage

Probably one of the biggest changes in kitchen design in the part few years as been the storage and retrieval of both food and utensils. Kitchen cabinets can now be fitted with some technological marvels for getting in and out of the cupboards.

It used to be that the “Lazy Susan” was a marvel of storage convenience because this allowed items in the back to be retrieved by turning a round table and bringing the items to the front. Now, stackable versions allow even storage areas, like pantries, as high as 6 feet to be accessed in a similar way. In addition the roll-out conveniences also bring the back-to-front by attaching the cabinet door to a cart which slides out laterally. In addition wasted space too far in the back for even a Lazy Susan is not wasted by utilizing a “blind corner system” which can retract ion itself before being slid back into the back area.

Kitchen Lighting

Another great addition to kitchen cabinets is the addition of under-the-cabinet lighting. Available in “puck strings,” named for their shape, fluorescent or LED strings these compact lighting aids direct illumination right to the countertop for working ease. These light sets are available in 120 volt or 12 volt DC units which operate from a transformer which also provide lighting for inside the cabinets.

LED lights can be bought in strips that can be daisy-chained together to span greater distances. For over the island nothing works better than track lighting or adjustable multi-light units.
