Marble Top Kitchen Island

Marble Top Kitchen Island - Making Cooking An Enjoyable Pastime

A marble top kitchen island evokes a feeling of classic strength that lifts cooking well above kitchen drudgery.

Marble top kitchen islands seem to make eating an indulgence and cooking a delightful pastime.

That may be an illusion, but Marble is a strong and practical work surface that lends style to the kitchen's decor, and it is especially fetching when in combination with base materials like wrought or hammered iron or when on a cart for serving on the patio or in the garden.

A Look Of New And Old - Perfect

Marble islands can be found in many designs and styles - Contemporary, Traditional, American Folk and French Country, Avant Garde or Hip, and others are all popular.

The look of Marble lends its classic style very well to dark woods like Walnut or Cherry or to metals like wrought iron, which can be painted in black or in many other colors.

A perfect example of how Marble can be effectively used is in the Bago Luma product line.

Bago Luma is a Texas-based company that specializes in wrought iron products including kitchen islands and carts.

Bago Luma is Filipino for Old New, a perfect description of the stylish look conveyed in combining iron and marble.

The Bago Luma Round Monaco kitchen island is a unique combination of fashionable design with traditional materials, and it offers a choice of two marble tops, Copperstone and Travertine.

Kitchens with Marble kitchen islands benefit in other ways than having additional storage, cooking and eating areas.

As with most islands, Marble islands also bring focus to the kitchen's design and to the activity of the cook and the family, as well.

And islands are used to separate open-space areas while bringing the kitchen closer to the cook, in a manner of speaking.

Marble top islands are not only very practical where handling certain ingredients or mixtures, like dough, is concerned, but they provide elegant work areas in kitchens that convert to multiple-use areas between meals.
