Adding a wine fridge is a great way to keep your drinks cool without having to squeeze them in next to the leftovers. They come in all shapes and sizes to finding one that will fit in your island shouldn’t be a problem.

Not Enough Seating?

In most small kitchens, it’s difficult to find enough room so that the whole family can dine in. However, an L-shaped island with a table on one side is the perfect solution. Equip one side with bench seating and a kitchen table and you’re on your way to sharing home-cooked meals with the entire family.
