It's no secret that over the years the kitchen has become the heart of the home and is now one of the main gathering places amongst family. In the old days, that essential gathering spot in the kitchen was the kitchen table, but today that has evolved into the kitchen island.
If you’re taking on a kitchen remodel project, it’s almost certain that your client will want to explore adding or upgrading an island in their space. Today, clients want to add islands to their kitchen to house their prep sinks, kitchen sinks, cooktops and so much more!

With the assumption that you’ve checked the box on all your client's design and functionality needs.
