The question is: what shall I use the kitchen island for? If you want to use it to prepare ingredients, then you should incorporate a dishwasher, sink, as well as storage space for cutting boards and knives in the kitchen island to keep them at your fingertips. Also, place a rubbish bin as close as possible to the area so you do not make too many unnecessary strolls from one side of the kitchen to the other. If you want to use the kitchen island for cooking, then you should provide it with a stove and install a hood over it, then make sure you give enough storage space for your cooking utensils.
