The kitchen is one of our favorite places to gather with friends and family while cooking our favorite meals. To make the space more functional, allowing for more countertop space, storage, and room to circle around, we love to incorporate a kitchen island.<\/p>\n

A kitchen island table can not only make your kitchen more functional, helping achieve all your culinary dreams, but can show off your unique style and customize your space to your liking. Whether you\u2019re looking for a classic kitchen island that makes rolling out cookie dough easy, a small kitchen island with storage to hide your mixing bowls, or one with a pop of color you were too afraid to incorporate in the rest of the kitchen, there are tons of kitchen island ideas that can elevate your kitchen.<\/p>\n

With the right design and the perfect countertop<\/a>, your kitchen can have the chef\u2019s kiss of approval. Not sure where to start? There are a lot of kitchen island options to choose from, with each one giving your space a different look and feel. To get you started, here are our favorite granite kitchen island designs from our experts at Granite Selection<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Breakfast Bar<\/h2>\n

The breakfast bar is a popular stone countertop<\/a>\u00a0choice for families and single homes alike. This cozy and impromptu seating arrangement brings everyone close to the energy of the kitchen. It also makes cleanup easy, as the hard granite is easy to brush and wipe to a fine polish.<\/p>\n

Island Sink<\/h2>\n

Many kitchens feature an island\u00a0kitchen sink<\/a> that faces towards the house instead of cornering you against the wall. Island sinks are also located more conveniently towards the dining room, which makes cleanup simple. In this example, two sinks are located on facing countertops, which allows you to work on food preparation and dishwashing at the same time.<\/p>\n

Minimalist Modernism<\/h2>\n

This stunning countertop optimizes form and function with a simple rectangular countertop and cabinet piece. Working with a designer and contractor to develop your cabinetry to complement your\u00a0granite countertop<\/a> can make a much bigger impact than simply replacing the countertop alone.<\/p>\n
