Islands On A Budget
Any cabinet line can look luxe paired with a wine fridge and a microwave drawer. Get this look with Fabuwood's Galaxy Frost door or Mid Continent's Concord door.
This small island has overhangs for seating on two sides.
Two drawer banks and a small overhang to seat one (a perfect spot for a quick snack or solo breakfast) comprise this small but charmingly detailed cottage-style island.
Consider a black toekick when using furniture feet like these, because it creates a shadow underneath the cabinetry to preserve the illusion of freestanding furniture.
A smaller budget does not mean a lack of style - Mid Continent's product line includes decorative details like these corner posts, and the top is small enough to potentially take advantage of stone remnants.
The designer used a laminate top on this large L-shaped island to keep costs down.
Putting your island up on legs reduces its visual dominance in the kitchen. This is the Mid Continent Jacobsen door in Oak with Carbon finish.
Use shallow depth cabinets on the seating side of your island to store seldom-used items in a more convenient location than basement or attic.
Most of our cabinet lines offer custom paint colors from any major paint manufacturer.
This large pentagonal (5-sided) island has cabinet access on two sides and seating for two.
Wraparound seating allows people sitting at the island to converse easily, instead of all sitting in a row like a diner.
Large drawers instead of doors on lower cabinets make storage easier to access. We recommend Mid Continent Rohe in painted maple to get this look.
Operable doors or drawers on three sides and a generous overhang make this square island especially efficient. Store things you don't use often in the cabinet under the overhang.
Even the smallest island adds handy storage and counter space to a kitchen.
Four 24" wide drawer banks placed back to back make a user-friendly square island that doesn't take up too much floor space.
