You know why storage space in your kitchen is such a precious commodity? It’s difficult to add more of it. Unless you can renovate your kitchen, you’re generally stuck with whatever amount of countertop and cupboard storage it comes with. We’ve found lots of shelves, bins, and organizers that will help you make the most of your storage space, but there is not a lot you can do to actually increase it. That is, unless you add a kitchen island.
What Is a Kitchen Island?
These brilliant contraptions can be as compact as bar carts or as big as tables, and they create counter, drawer, and cabinet space out of thin air. If you have the floor space for one of these units, it’s a smart way to declutter your kitchen and give you more room to prep meals — and it’s far more affordable than any renovation. Check out our favorite storage kitchen islands and find the perfect one for your home.
