Kitchen
Having your trash bin integrated into the island just below your work surface is another important functional element, as it allows you to scrape the scraps straight into the garbage.
When you’re choosing materials and colors for your island, make sure they harmonize with any hues in the adjoining rooms.
Make sure power outlets and appliances are well-placed so they don’t dominate the appearance of the island, are easily accessed and make the functionality of all sides of the unit work really well. Consider what will be plugged in — it probably won’t just be a hand mixer, but also phone chargers, laptops and the like. A charging drawer for items such as these can be a smart inclusion
