Stylish and Functional IKEA Kitchen Islands: The Perfect Addition to Your Home

A kitchen island, especially a mobile one, is a must-have for you   if you have a small kitchen as it doesn’t take up too much valuable space but   already offers additional storage space and counter space that you can use   for preparing meals.  You also have   much easier and quicker access to items in your kitchen as most IKEA kitchen   islands come with open or closed shelves.

There’s no denying that kitchen islands are smart   investments.  But which one should you   choose?  The online marketplace is full   of amazing versions that you will have to guess for yourself every decision   you make.  Don’t worry, you don’t have   to search the market like we did for you!    Just read on, we’ve listed the best IKEA kitchen islands you can get   today!

Check them out below.

If you already have an island, but want another one that not only   offers additional storage space, but also offers your children their own   meeting point, the STENSTORP kitchen island is a good choice.  It will add an adjoining seating and work   area for young children that is close to the kitchen action and your main   island.  It’s also great as it is low   in height, which means it can be paired with low chairs that are not   dangerous for children in case they tip over.

Of course, the island’s main purpose is to provide a solution for   small kitchens that lack the surface to prepare and dice food and keep the   spices and ingredients used regularly within easy reach.  This IKEA product is exactly what you need   when you have.  Since it is an open   shelf under the counter, you have unlimited options for what to store,   including plate ware!

It measures 49 5/8 x 31 1/8 “and features a sturdy solid oak   construction with an oak worktop and stainless steel shelves.

Next up is the same unit as the first kitchen island we featured,   but with a lovely black finish added to the wood structure.  It’s a beautiful island that you can use as   a breakfast nook or a meeting place where kids can relax over lunch or   dinner.  Across the other side of this   kitchen island are shelves that can be used to store various items, from   plates, utensils, and ingredients to mixers, microwaves, and other kitchen   gadgets.

Even if you weren’t gifted with a massive kitchen, it doesn’t mean   your kitchen should be any less functional.    Keep it organized, efficient, and cozy with this 49 5 / 8×31 1 / 8×35   3/8 “, beautifully finished island. The piece goes well with 24”   bar stools.  If you’re still in doubt   as to whether the black finish will suit your space, it would be best if your   kitchen has a trendy piece with an industrial twist.

Just because your kitchen doesn’t have a lot of space doesn’t mean   you can’t have an island addition!  The   VADHOLMA kitchen island in black is a larger and less wide version of the   aforementioned island.  Their slim and   slim profile ensures that your new kitchen addition does not overwhelm a   small room.  With the two shelves and   narrow drawer it comes with, it also offers the level of functionality and   utility you are looking for.
