Enough space is important since you don't want your yourself, your family and guests to feel claustrophobic in your beautifull but packed kitchen, ending up to not being able to move around free and easy.

While kitchen islands can have many different options, functions and features, most of them include a bar-section (kitchen-bar), while other kitchen islands are solely used for cooking and storage. Which kind and type of island is best for you really all depends on personal preferences, taste and individual needs.
