MOVING CART-STYLE table You can also look to a cart-style island on wheels to give yourself some flexibility. It can be moved nearer the counter when doing a lot of prep, and pushed away when it’s time to do an unusual task such as moving a large turkey into the oven. Plus, the more open and lighter appearance will make the kitchen feel roomier, even if it is a bit tight. See more key measurements for planning a kitchen
Between the Island and the Counter For ease of use in the kitchen, the island surface should be within relatively easy reach and not too far from the fridge, stove or sink. However, it should also not be so close to the main counters that you don’t feel like you can turn around without bumping into something. A distance of 36 to 42 inches between the island and the main counters works well for a kitchen with a single cook; 48 inches will be better for a kitchen that will see two home chefs working in tandem.
An integral sink is one of the more expensive mounting types because these sinks are usually custom designed and manufactured. You are paying for the raw material as well as fabrication and installation, which can be costly. But for those with the budget for it, it's certainly an appealing option.

Integral If you'd rather your kitchen sink blend in, and you are installing stone, metal, solid surface or quartz countertops, think about having an integral sink fabricated. Your countertop fabricator simply forms a sink using the countertop material. The look is very clean and seamless — perfect for a contemporary kitchen. Contemporary by AlterECO,inc AlterECO,inc SaveEmail Here's a close-up of an integral sink. These sinks have no nooks and crannies for food particles to collect in, making cleanup a breeze.
For those who, like me, seem to dirty every dish in the house when making a meal, a superdeep sink is ideal. You have plenty of space for prepping meals, and in a pinch you can hide your dirty dishes in there until you are able to wash them. This is a nice sink for bakers or others who are regularly washing large sheet pans and cutting boards, too. A sink depth of at least 10 inches will give you the room you need to wash larger dishes without splashing water all over the floor and surrounding countertops. Modern Kitchen by KellyBaron KellyBaron SaveEmail Keep in mind that if you are going with an undermount sink, you will gain the additional depth of the countertop thickness. You can offset this, however, by using a raised sink grid, as shown here.

to use -for sound proofing ?? Cork Sustainably harvested and all natural, cork has grown in popularity in recent years. While its distinctive look isn’t for everyone, people who love it appreciate its strong patterns and texture, its warm look and its ecofriendliness. Pros: Resilient and flexible, cork provides a great deal of comfort underfoot, and it can absorb the shock from a dropped plate or cup (translation: less chance of breakage). It holds warmth and absorbs sound, lending a cozy feel. And it’s rich in suberin, a natural substance that guards against mold, mildew, rot and pests. Cons: Cork holds up well, but not without a little TLC. Because dirt and grit can scar it, you’ll need to stay on top of sweeping and vacuuming, and you will also need to reseal it regularly with polyurethane or wax. Small dings, such as from a dropped knife, will “heal” on their own, but major scars are harder to fix. Cork also can fade over time. Cost: About $2 to $12 per square foot, uninstalled.

Solid Wood Nature is a terrific artisan — it’s tough to match the warmth and charm of solid wood. Even in a space with a lot of moisture and heavy foot traffic, wood can last indefinitely if it’s properly treated and cared for. It’s a perennial classic, and it develops a rich patina with time and use. Pros: Whether you want thin strips of pale maple or wide planks of pine, there’s a wood that will look just right in your kitchen. Wood never goes out of style, so you won’t have to worry about updating it as your home evolves. It can be sanded and refinished to keep it looking its best. Cons: You’ll have to stay on top of spills; liquids can cause damage if they’re not wiped up right away. Wood dents and scratches easily, so it will need periodic refinishing. Although it’s not as unyielding as concrete or tile, it also isn’t as comfortable as cork or vinyl. Cost: About $4 to $12 per square foot, uninstalled.
