Looking for more space in your kitchen? You can find your solution here. Kitchen designers have developed a special counter called a kitchen island. A kitchen island is a centrally-located countertop used primarily for food preparation and auxiliary cooking needs. In many kitchens with busy families, the island also doubles as a table for quick meals. The simplest island design is a smooth countertop made of a standard kitchen material such as tile, stainless steel, wood or stone. A more advanced design may feature a working sink and disposal unit for prepping fruits and vegetables. So if you’re looking for a perfect kitchen design, check out Blanco Interior Design pictures.
