The Free Standing Kitchen Island is a Response to the 1950s
 

This last century has seen some incredible advances in kitchen technology. We now have giant refrigerators and freezers, electric ovens and burners, as well as microwaves, blenders, and toasters. Many of us cannot imagine a kitchen without these items, and it was the 1950s that households began seeing a common kitchen design pattern. It was called the "kitchen work triangle" and it consisted of the space between the stove, sink, and the refrigerator. While these were the three places that were in use the most, it made things difficult for home cooks because counter space seemed to be a forgotten essential kitchen element. Do you have a kitchen that seems to have this issue? It is difficult to add counter space when there is no room to add it except in the middle of the floor. As strange as this idea may sound, you should consider purchasing free standing kitchen islands or butcher blocks for your home.

A free standing kitchen island might be exactly what you need in your own kitchen. This furniture item usually sits in the middle of the kitchen at least 36 to 42 inches away from all your walls and cabinets. This spacing is to ensure that you have room to walk around your kitchen island as well as have no trouble opening up your cabinet and refrigerator doors. One advantage of the freestanding kitchen island is that is can be approached from all sides allowing you to utilize its entire surface area. You will gain what seems like yards of counter space while not sacrificing much of your kitchen space.

Many free standing kitchen islands are also great places to use as breakfast tables. Simply purchase a few counter stools and place them against one side of your kitchen island and you have a perfect place for your family to grab a quick breakfast in the mornings before heading off to school and work.
