Buying Guide

Kitchen islands aren’t just surfacing for food prep and storage. If you get a granite kitchen island with a breakfast bar as your new kitchen addition, you would have a fixture that can act as your dining area, your home’s homework hot spot, breakfast table, and a casual setting for chatting over cups of coffee!

If you want a kitchen island that has room for seating to accommodate diverse uses, check out our buying guide below.

How to choose the right size kitchen island?

All in all, a kitchen island with breakfast bar is around 3 x 6 x ½ ft with a clearance zone of 40 inches. More often than not, the size of your kitchen will dictate the size of your new kitchen addition. A larger kitchen will be able to fit a more substantial island with breakfast bar.

What are the most popular shapes of kitchen islands?

Most kitchen islands with breakfast bars are slim and straight. The most common shapes they’re available in are round, square, and rectangle.

You might want a curved island with breakfast bar. If so, then you have lots of incredible options that can add flair to your kitchen. They look extremely sleek and modern, and they are a great idea if you have kids and pets running around as no sharp corners are present.

There’s the ‘S’ shape as well, which is practical as each section can serve a different purpose, allowing you to keep things in your kitchen organized.

What are the qualities of granite worktops?

In terms of function, the granite top allows you to place hot items and cut on the surface as granite is a hardy material. It's also non-porous, so it’s great even if you are using the kitchen island for kneading. If you want different types of surfaces, there are kitchen islands and breakfast bars that come with two types of top materials. The most common pairing is granite and butcher block.

How to match the style of kitchen island with your kitchen design?

As your kitchen’s design can influence the style that’s right for your new kitchen addition, choose the one that can complement the room’s overall look and feel. This means you must have the same exact overarching style as your kitchen cabinets. You can choose different cabinet colors, of course, but the toe kicks, moldings, corbels, and accents must match to create a cohesive look.

What type of lighting works best for kitchen islands?

Task lighting is important in any kitchen design. You may want to get decorative lighting fixtures with your new kitchen island and breakfast bar not just to offer ample task lighting, but also to set the mood of the space. Your most common lighting options are track lights, recessed lights, and pendant lighting.

Kitchen islands with granite tops and breakfast bars can bring extra function, seating, storage, and style to your kitchen. Make sure you remember our tips, so you don’t make costly mistakes and ensure you get the best kitchen addition!
