A Kitchen Island Or Corner Cabinets Add Storage Space in a Kitchen

There are many ways to add storage in a small kitchen. A kitchen island for instance is a terrific option if you have the space at the center of your kitchen. Islands can also be installed in other positions like against a wall or as an extension of your existing cabinetry. Corner cabinets are another great creation because they are specifically designed to fit in a corner seamlessly and out of the way.

A home is filled with corners, how you utilize that space is entirely up to you but if you need a little extra storage in a room, a corner cabinet is highly functional for that purpose. In a kitchen space tends to sometimes be limited and your choice in storage unit will highly depend on the layout of the space. If you have an empty corner by all means, add a beautiful corner cabinet that can bring both a decorative design and the added storage you need in the space. On the other hand, if you have tons of room in the center of your kitchen then an island is the best way to utilize that space for more storage or the extra work space.

When choosing a piece of furniture to fit in with an existing color scheme or finish, you should definitely try to match when possible but if an exact match is not possible then a solid black or white colored piece of furniture is best. Most kitchens have existing white or black accents even if a majority of the woodwork is in another color or stain finish. Installing a solid colored piece of furniture will not take away from the rest of the design. Instead, it will likely appear as if that piece has been there all along. Many times we get caught up in trying to match things perfectly and end up passing up a great piece of furniture. There is also the option of changing the finish of a kitchen island or corner cabinet but it is only recommended for those who already have some experience in the process. Otherwise, do your best to find a piece of furniture that works for you and forget about matching.

The important thing to remember is that you are trying to add storage and more function into what most people consider is dead space in a kitchen. Whether you choose to fill a corner with a cabinet or the middle with an island, you should definitely focus on what a piece of furniture will bring to that space. There are many more ways to go right than there are to go wrong with your choice of color or finish.
