Not Just Counter Space - Islands Give You More Storage, Too
Kitchen Island - More Cabinet and Drawer Space

Kitchen Island - More Cabinet and Drawer Space

One aspect of kitchen islands that many homeowners forget is that it is possible to add a considerable amount of drawer and cabinet space under the counters.

The kitchen island in this photo has cabinets and drawers along its entire length on one side. The other side has about half of the storage space because that is where the stove is located, as we will later see.

It is wise to max out your storage space when planning your kitchen island.
