Dining table next to kitchen island

Whether it's for seating, prep space or somewhere to house appliances, islands are the multi-functional hub you need for modern living

Who needs a dining table when a split level kitchen island can do it all? We've hand-picked ten ingenious projects from top designers, all with their own take on the trend

While large kitchen islands are a staple in houses, scaled-down, thoughtfully designed ones can boost the efficiency and ease the space crunch New Yorkers are feeling these days. And adding (or replacing) an island could even be a stand-alone upgrade to your existing kitchen should you have sufficient space but lack the budget—or the need—for a complete do-over.

An open kitchen and custom island, plus long dining table for multiple dining

Ok, I've ALWAYS wanted to try something.... since the day Pinterest came out and I saw an image of someone using their dining table as a kitchen island I really wanted to try it myself to see how it would look and flow in our home. Well, I finally got the chance to try it and I'm here to chat briefly about that today with you all in case you to wanted to give it a go. Please don't mind the patch of unpainted floor below the table. I never got around to finishing this project before…
