A movable island is usually ideal for a compact kitchen because it can be narrow and/or small. It doesn't take up valuable floor space and allows more flexibility in the layout.

Even prefab kitchen island storage can be upgraded with the right solutions. Look for add-ons like wine racks, baskets, and trays to organize drawers and cabinets. Hooks are an inexpensive DIY solution for hanging baking supplies, pots, or pans.

Create Additional Storage As well as offering plenty of worktop space, a kitchen island provides impressive extra storage. Deep drawers tend to make better use of space than cupboards as they give easy access to the very back of your unit.

When planning a kitchen renovation, adding an island to your new kitchen is a great way to increase both counter and storage space. Considering that people always seem to need more of these two things, it's a huge win.
