We also love the way the oven has been built into the cabinet in a way that doesn’t take away the flow of the design.

This kitchen design has a real warmth making it a perfect family room for relaxing and meal times. Kitchen islands designs are a recent development. These days, they have become one of the most desired features by people seeking to renovate their kitchens as well as new home buyers.
