The BEST and WORST Appliances for Your Kitchen Island

In this video, you will learn about the best and worst appliances to put in your kitchen island. You will also learn how to design a functional kitchen along with tips on how to add storage or extra cooking space to your home.

Before designing what to put in your kitchen, you have to think about how and what you currently use.

For example, do you need more refrigeration or cooking appliances? Then you add accordingly.

The size of the island also has significance. The larger sizes will fit more. Typically, the most common cabinet sizes are 24 and 30 inches, so you will have plenty of opportunities to add secondary appliances.

Thank you for saying, it’s frustrating as a designer to regularly work with bad design ideas, work with down drafts and more…

Hey first off, love your channel and the great information you provide. Right now we are searching for a 30-in range top. We also need to replace an oven. Our current space is only 27 in. We're wanting to go with a more premium brand. There just doesn't seem to be anything available? I think a couple of these would make awesome topics. I'm sure you have dozens ready to go lol

I have a friend who has a smaller sink with disposal on the center aisle, with a large sink on the wall.
