In a very real way, homes reflect how families carry out their lives. Over the past few decades, no floor plan has skyrocketed to prominence as much as the island-anchored, open-concept kitchen. We all know the virtues of open concept homes - they're airy, bright, and welcoming!
Flowing floor plans possess a distinctly lived-in vibe. Instead of separate, formal, one-purpose spaces, these homes have a cohesive family-friendly feel. Each room is designed to multi-task and accommodate the different rhythms of everyday life. One of the biggest illustrations of this home interior shift? Kitchen islands.
Centerpiece islands have been popular in kitchens for a while now, but lately, they've become bigger and better! Islands have evolved into home base, command centers, the beating heart of family time. From weekend pancakes to weekday snack time, study sessions to work emails, game night to hosting friends - islands are the gathering place.
In celebration of our design devotion, we've pulled together photos of a few more of our very favorite inspiring kitchen islands below - take a peek!
