Country Kitchen Island - Practical Designs For Modern Lifestyles
Country kitchen island furniture is reminiscent of the more Spartan and practical designs of rural life.
Country kitchen islands have the air of no-nonsense industry but also have the style of a cook who keeps the egg money going as far as it can go.
But make no mistake, country islands today combine modern features like drop-leaf breakfast bars and refrigeration units with artisan designs to achieve the kind of versatility and good looks that modern lifestyles demand.
Humble But Distinctive Designs
Country style kitchen islands range from simple work tables with lower shelves and cabinet to the large French Country style islands from Habersham that are hand painted and designed by fine artists in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Base materials in country style islands are generally wood, but tops are often Maple or Hardrock Maple Butcher Block, Granite, Marble, or even Soapstone.
Islands in Country style are often finished natural, stained or oiled, but are often available in colors like Antique White, Black, or Dark Red.
The look of Country style islands may be more reserved, but they feature modern conveniences, nevertheless.
Many feature drop-leaf serving areas or raised-shelf breakfast bars, enclosed cabinets are common, as are shelves and drawers for storage.
Bar-sinks, deep fryers, refrigeration units, wine racks, towel and glassware holders, drop-leaf cutting boards, and casters or wheels are only some of the design ideas you can choose.
No matter their style or features, islands in the this style are used to create the same efficient kitchen designs as islands in any other style.
They add workspace, divide large or open-space areas, act as the focal center of kitchen design and activity, and make food preparation and cooking more efficient.
