Kitchen remodels don’t offer a lot of flexibility to homeowners looking for a refresh. The stove, fridge, sink, and cabinet placement are pretty much set unless you’re gutting the space. Your design decisions come down to cabinet style, countertop material, wall color, and maybe a flashy backsplash. The DiMora Team are real estate experts in the Northville and Novi neighborhoods and we know that the kitchen island, however, is one place where you can play a little with different styles, shapes, and even features. So much so that an upgraded island is the top kitchen feature homebuyers seek in 2021. One hot new feature to watch: kitchen islands that have tables attached to them. We’re not talking about an extension of the island itself with room for a few bar stools, this kitchen island table trend is a full on eating area that’s clearly a separate table, but it’s affixed to the island itself. The smaller kitchens found in older homes rarely have room for an island at all, let alone one with an attached table — that’s why some homeowners choose to expand their kitchens into the formal dining room next door. But this often leaves the kitchen looking lopsided, with the original kitchen looking crammed together on one side with an empty, cavernous space on the other.

The kitchen island with a built-in table is a clever way to fill this space in a way that looks like a natural extension of the original kitchen.
