The island tends to be the most used spot in the kitchen - so it should work just as hard as the rest of your cabinetry.
When designed well, island storage can carry more than you think:
• Deep drawers for pots, pans, and everyday cookware
• Built-in trash + recycling to keep prep areas clean
• Hidden outlets for small appliances
• Open shelving for cookbooks or display pieces
• Microwave drawers or beverage fridges for added function
• Specialty storage (think spices, cutting boards, or baking trays)
It makes your entire kitchen feel easier to live in.
