While the kitchen has for years been the center of the home, the island is now becoming the center of the kitchen in more ways than one. Where the island once was primarily a food prep area, in 2024 it is quickly transforming into a multifunctional asset that has changed the way families use this space.
At Precision Siding, Akron area kitchen remodels are focusing more than ever on designs that place a large island at the center of the plan, with features that make it the hub for eating, working, gathering, and entertaining, as well as colors and textures that create an inviting ambiance. For the ultimate kitchen remodel in Summit County, consider the following possibilities:
- A multi-level island that can accommodate bar level and table level chairs. Islands today can include adjustable height sections or a pullout table that provides an extension for large group entertaining and stores away when it’s not needed.
- Building on efficiency, islands are now major storage centers, with deep drawers and allowance for built-in appliances, including microwaves, wine refrigerators, and dishwashers. Open shelving with built-in lighting adds aesthetically pleasing spaces that also are convenient storage for frequently used items.
- Taking islands from breakfast or snack bar to workspace, designs will now include complete charging stations and layouts that provide the ultimate workspace for student homework sessions and work-from-home arrangements.
- Upgrading an island or adding an island to a kitchen can mean bringing a whole new look to your Fairlawn or Copley kitchen. At Precision, we can add contrasting colors with two-tone cabinetry or by incorporating a dark granite counter with light earth-tone cabinets. Bring texture to your space with reclaimed wood facing on the island body or by using butcher block or concrete for the countertop.
- Statement pendant lights can bring a modern or rustic look to your remodel, or consider a statement ventilation hood over a cooktop to add pop and function to your new design.
