9 Double Island Kitchens Experts Love

Multifunctional Double Islands

The double islands in this bright and beautiful kitchen from @buildmurphy serve two different functions. One is designated for food prep and the other includes an overhang for bar seating. Now guests and the chef can enjoy each others’ company with plenty of space! The island’s countertop material differs from the perimeter counter, adding visual interest and lovely contrast to the design.

What We Like

The generous spacing of the layout. “Typically, you wouldn’t want double islands to be a tight squeeze,” says Sutton, “Still allowing for ample traffic flow throughout the kitchen and maintaining all comfortable clearances around seated areas and functional working areas is imperative.”
