Kitchen Island Alternatives We Love
They're not what you think.
A classic kitchen island can add storage and seating for the holidays. Or if you're looking to save space, keep things portable, or get a new look, try one of these combos.
1. A Console Table + Counter Stools
To get the look in a smaller space, add a slim open-bottom console table and bring in a pair of counter-height stools to tuck underneath.
2. A Floating Shelf + Dining Chairs
For off-to-the-side casual seating, hang a wall shelf waist-high to create a countertop. Then add a pair of dining chairs to complete the look.
3. A Butcher Block Kitchen Cart + Backless Stools
For easy flexibility, bring in a kitchen cart with wheels and pair it with lightweight stools. To free up space, roll it to the side and stack the seating together.
