If you’re one that does a good deal of cooking, then incorporating a pot filler into your kitchen design is something that you won’t regret. This convenient fixture will quickly become one that you won’t know how you ever lived without. Gone are the days of lugging a heavy pot filled with water from the sink to the range. Pot fillers are located right next to the range, since that’s where they’re utilized the most.
It’s also good to think about including one if you plan on aging in the home, as the task of carrying the pot of water can become a safety hazard as you grow older.
Incorporating double islands in a kitchen is a great way to achieve multiple goals. In homes with an active family the kitchen acts as their base of operations, and having two islands makes the kitchen ultra flexible for meals, catching up over cookies or extra work and study areas.
When space allows, double islands are a good way to maximize traffic flow without sacrificing storage. This will create room for people to gather around one island while food is being prepared on the other, or one can offer hors d’oeuvres while the other offers seating – it just opens the door for added functionality and regular usage of the entire space.
The key to making double islands work in a kitchen remodel is having adequate space. It’s really not something that’s easy to pull off in a small space without your kitchen looking cramped. Islands are an attractive focal point, but it’s important to make sure their scale is not too overwhelming in relation to the rest of the kitchen.
