A well designed kitchen island is a wonderful addition to any home. While the most obvious advantage is added preparation space, there are even more benefits. You can even integrate sinks, ovens, other fixtures and appliances into the island.

Here are 5 tips from RealRenta to consider when designing a kitchen island.

• Make sure the island doesn’t restrict or block access to the oven, refrigerator and cook tops.
• If you do a lot of entertaining, ensure that you have ample countertop surface
• Install shelves, drawers and cupboards to increase storage space in the island
• Install bright task lighting like recessed ceiling lights or high hanging bulbs
• Ensure a knee clearance if you want to place stools as seating around the island.
