Improve Cohesion With a Second Island

The unique layout in this kitchen from @kendrapheasanthilldesigns has the range tucked away around the corner, while the two islands serve as the main event. This approach hides the mess and allows you and your guests to share the space with plenty of room to eat, serve food and mingle.

What We Like

The lighting! Different yet coordinating light fixtures can help distinguish the two islands while still maintaining a cohesive design.

Double Sinks

With two islands you can also have two sinks! This luxurious kitchen from @rubyandcompanyqc has a regular sink on the first island, and a smaller prep sink installed on the second. Prep sinks are great for washing vegetables, filling pots or quickly washing your hands; leaving the other sink available for dishes.

What We Like

The high-end finishes, including the stone. “I love using natural stone for the island to serve as the ‘artwork’ for the kitchen, taking the slab up the range wall, and implementing waterfalls on the islands,” says Sutton.

Side-by-Side Double Islands

Side-by-side kitchen islands work well in a wide kitchen like this one from @b_arch_studio. One island serves as a built-in table but can also be used for food prep, while the other is a more traditional island with cabinets. The blue color used on both islands and matching light fixtures create harmony between the two different shapes.

What We Like

The chic blue paint color. Using a bold color on the islands to contrast with the white cabinets on the kitchen’s perimeter makes a dramatic impact.
