If you have never worked in a kitchen without a kitchen island, you simply must consider incorporating this versatile piece of furniture into your kitchen space. For many years, we never had a kitchen island until my wife tasked me to build one for her for our kitchen. There used to be an old kitchen table where the island now sits and the difference between having a basic kitchen table and a kitchen island with seating is like night and day. Since I have some woodworking skills, I took it as a challenge to put my skills to the test and construct a kitchen island. We decided to build it not only to save money, but to build it to custom dimensions for our kitchen space. My wife, being an avid cook, had always read about how a kitchen island can transform how you work in the kitchen so she designed it to help her work more efficiently in our relatively small kitchen Seating and Additional Cabinet Space First of all, since we were replacing an old kitchen table, we needed to have an island that also allowed our family to eat our meals there each night. Since we only have two daughters, an island that seated four was perfect for our needs. We decided to make it a 4 foot by 4 foot square with two overhanging sides which is where the seats are located. I was able to build it to include a large cabinet in which we store pots, pans, and assorted cookware. This allowed us to free up a lot of space in the limited cabinet space that we did have in our kitchen. Additional Drawer Space I also incorporated two small drawers for knives and various kitchen-related odds and ends and a larger drawer in which we store all of our kitchen utensils. My wife was able to find the perfect wooden drawer organizer that expanded to fit into the large drawer to keep the utensils in their own sections. It was amazing how we were able to free up valuable drawer space in the rest of the kitchen with the addition of the kitchen island with seating. A Kitchen Work Triangle Yields Efficiency One of the major design opportunities with the kitchen island was that my wife could create the perfect kitchen work triangle that she had always wanted. The three corners of the work triangle are the refrigerator, the stove, and the island. In years past, all of the meal preparation was performed on the countertop which had limited space and wasn't ideally located for optimum efficiency. With the addition of the kitchen island, the way my wife worked in the kitchen improved dramatically! Creating an efficient work space by adding a kitchen island to complete the work triangle was the best project we have ever attempted in our home. If you still work in a kitchen without a kitchen island with seating, I implore you to find one that is optimal for your kitchen space. If you have enough energy and skills, you just may want to do what we did and build one on your own!

While purchasing a new fitted kitchen can entail significant costs, the benefits of revamping the kitchen make it an attractive option for many homeowners. Fitted kitchens showcase professional design, installation and finishing, and can dramatically increase the value of the house or give the family home a new lease of life. But given the recent collapse in the housing market and pressure of the global recession, just how often do people choose to change their kitchens in these straitened economic times? While the exact number of new installations every year is not readily available, activity within the UK kitchen furniture market give a good indication of the relative popularity of new kitchen designs with homeowners. According to AMA Research, the British kitchen furniture market went from strength to strength in the period 2002-2007, with the total market reaching a value of £1.4 billion. This suggests that there was a growing trend of fitting new kitchen furniture, with homeowners looking to update their designs, take advantage of new features and increase the value of their homes. However, with the financial crisis in 2008 and the collapse of the housing market, there was a significant decline in the kitchen furniture market that continued into 2009 and only stabilised in 2010. This suggests a consequent drop in the number of people opting for new fitted kitchens. What does this suggest about the change in homeowners attitudes in this period? Clearly, the onset of financial crisis put an immense amount of pressure on household budgets, impacting on the demand for 'non-essential' products. More important, perhaps, is the impact of the collapse in the housing market. Many people choose to install a new kitchen in order to increase value in their home, so with the slowdown in the housing market comes a decreased interest in value-boosting fitting new kitchen furniture. What does this suggest about future trends and the frequency of homeowners buying new kitchen furniture in the future? For one, it suggests that the market for fitted and semi-fitted kitchens is largely dictated by fluctuations in the housing market, meaning manufacturers and retailers should seek to adapt accordingly to trends in this area. It's important to note, though, that the last decade saw a persistent and growing interest in home improvement that should help to drive this market as household incomes begin to grow again. Homeowners are now more aware of the psychological role their kitchen plays at the heart of their home, meaning they're more attentive to changing preferences towards colours, materials and layouts. The homeowner's enduring search for the 'perfect' kitchen should help to drive renewed interest in professionally built kitchens, especially as new styles, appliances and trends enter the consumer consciousness.
