Two-Tone Kitchen

Many Kitchen remodels today include an island as a separate entity from the kitchen with the body of the island held up on legs for more of furniture look. Tapered or spindle legs can give the island an old-worldly appearance. Many designers of very modern kitchens choose to put the entire kitchen on stainless steel legs, including the island, for a very European appeal. It is important to always think logically and one nagging question in the back of your mind should be; how many things (probably food related) will fall and get kicked under those cabinets not to be found until spring-cleaning? There is a solution. For more traditional looks, your designer can arrange for a toekick to be recessed just far enough so that the average person will not be able to see it allowing the island to retain a furniture look.
