Kitchen islands are a wonderful addition to any modern kitchen! They’re practical, attractive, and give lots of additional storage to a kitchen. But, it can be challenging to know what appliances are the best to put into them. Thankfully, we’re here to help! Here are 6 appliances that we think would be great in any kitchen island!
- Dishwasher
A dishwasher is usually located next to the sink so if you have a sink in the island, make sure to incorporate a dishwasher next to it.
Tip: If you have an open concept floor plan, make sure to get a dishwasher that’s quiet so you can watch TV without listening to the dishwasher! - Microwave
Microwaves can be placed anywhere, but finding a spot for them in the island can be super useful! Get your cabinet maker to make a cubby for it or consider a drawer microwave! - Refrigerator Drawers
Refrigerator drawers are great for extra refrigerator storage when you need it. They’re great for snacks, extra drinks, or for produce storage near a prep sink. - Speed Oven
Speed ovens have a convection element in the microwave, so you can use it as a microwave, oven, or both. They’re great for heating up leftovers or throwing together a quick dinner. - Warming Drawers
The best place for a warming drawer is near or under your wall oven, but it can be placed in the island as well. - Beverage Centers
An island is a great spot for a beverage center! It’s a central spot, so it’s easy for you or your guests to grab something to drink.
We hope our tips are helpful in deciding which appliances belong in your kitchen island. Any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out!
