"The kitchen occupies a fairly open-plan space, flowing directly into the dining room and the hearth room, so it needed to relate to those spaces. Equally important was the need to establish a focal point for the kitchen area. The large island achieves this, and its furniture-like design gives the impression that it is separate to the overall design." designer Carol Sadowsky stated.

"The island works as a distinctive item – it establishes the all-important focal point and gives the kitchen its own identity. I've further enhanced this by giving it a unique color treatment; and the addition of the pewter top further elevates its status within the room." Kading added.
