Updating a kitchen does not have to be a time-consuming and expensive task, it has been suggested. Adding a kitchen island to food preparation areas is a relatively simple task for DIY beginners, according to Don and Dave Runyan, writing for NewsOK. They noted that while making changes to the kitchen is always on the to-do list, installing a kitchen island is both a simple and attractive way of maximising storage space. A decent kitchen island will have a butcher block, an optional wine rack, generous storage and casters to enable the unit to be moved more easily, they stated. The project is easy enough for beginners. Just cut out the pieces, laminate the top and assemble using screws, glue and nails, the pair explained. In recent news, home design consultant Cindy Lee Bergersen - writing for Hamptons - advised those looking to create space in their kitchen to buy deep kitchen sinks.
