There are various ways to design a kitchen island, depending on the look you like and how you plan to use the space.
Here are some features and details to include in your design for different types of kitchen island counters (different from a peninsula counter).
OPEN DISPLAY
This has outward-facing shelves to showcase decor accessories, especially great for open-concept spaces.

STORAGE COUNTER
This is practical, with drawers, cabinets, appliances, or even a combination of them integrated underneath the worktop to maximise space.
Design: Spacedge Designs
Design: Arte Living
BAR TOP / BREAKFAST BAR
This features "extensions", in the form of a raised ledge or an overhanging surface, separate from the main work area.
Design: PIU Design
Design: Museum Homes
CANTILEVERED WORKTOP
With a more complex design involving a seemingly suspended countertop, this type definitely makes a statement. You get both storage and a great design feature!
