Buying Guide

Wine racks come in handy especially in a space saving kitchen island. They can be found along the sides, immediately below the counter or tucked away in another designated space.

What materials are used for kitchen islands with wine rack storage?

Only quality materials are used for a kitchen island with wine rack storage. The entire unit is equal to that of regular kitchen countertops and cabinets.

Wood - Solid wood is a must with food prep and storing heavy pans. Poplar, oak, birch or rubberwood are popular wood species that are durable, hold paint well and are easy to maintain. Butcher block tops have a vegetable oil finish.
Stone - Some kitchen islands have a granite top for lasting use. 3-centimeter granite is 70% more durable than 2-centimeter. Polished edges are an indication of good quality granite. Quartz, or engineered stone, is another good choice for island countertops. They are more resistant to staining than granite.
Metal - Stainless steel is a major metal that is used in commercial restaurants. Countertops and bases made of stainless steel are sanitary, durable and great looking. Stainless steel blends well with stone and many types of wood.
Racks - Wine racks are made from wood and are shaped to hold bottles securely in place. Portable kitchen islands may be moved and a wine rack has to be dependable. Some units have grooves, others have defined slots and still others are displayed in crisscross compartments. Becoming one with the overall island is a feature that is crucial to the design.
Finishes - Modern colors are available that match or complement kitchen cabinets. Finishes that are high-quality against peeling and chipping are used on mobile or permanent models. From matte to gloss, all industry standards are met in quality and durability.

How to match kitchen island design with kitchen decor?

Styles are manufactured to reflect today's decors of kitchens. Many kitchen islands are interchangeable with more than one decorating scheme. For instance, a light-colored, minimal distressed wood island that has straight wine bottle storage is suitable for a variety of decors. Contemporary, country, mission, minimalism or modern will all gain aesthetic appeal with one such model.

How much clearance is necessary for a kitchen island?

There should be 42 inches clearance on all sides of an island. More distance is needed when seating is used. Not all kitchens are capable of holding a kitchen island with wine rack storage. Galley kitchens are too narrow and some are just too disproportionate to accommodate. Small units on wheels can be used for extra counter space when a permanent fixture is not possible. If considering an island for long term, take the entire kitchen into account. Look at all angles of the traffic flow.

How to clean a kitchen island?

Kitchen islands are manufactured with daily use in mind. Most surfaces can be wiped down just like regular kitchen countertops. Granite that has a minimal layer of sealant may need to be treated cautiously. Because granite is porous, it can stain easily. Keep baking soda and hydrogen peroxide close for treating these stains.
