Double Island

The kitchen is a very important room in the home. When entertaining, it tends to be the area where people like to gather. For some odd reason, rather than gathering in the living room where there is comfortable furniture to lounge on, guests will always migrate to the kitchen. I think the main reason for this is the food. We all love to eat and we are drawn towards yummy smells in the kitchen. This can sometimes be a pain for the host while they are trying to prepare the food. This contemporary kitchen shows a great solution for providing entertaining space in the kitchen while still giving the cook enough work space. By having not just one, but two islands, you create a work space for the cook, as well as an island for people to gather. In this example, both islands have sinks. This way the cook can choose to prepare food further away from guests, while still being able to hold a conversation, or he/she can use the sink on the same island the guests are gathered around.

At first I thought the idea of having two islands was a bit overwhelming and unnecessary. However, the more I look into the idea, the more I understand it and begin to like it. If you have the right amount of space for two islands, then I think it is a definite must!
