She stated The new open design improved traffic flow, allowing the homeowners and their family to easily entertain guests comfortably in their new gourmet kitchen.According to Ms Madsen, installing a kitchen island also generated more room, with the homeowners able to undertake food preparation tasks more easily. To offer visual impact, granite countertops around kitchen sink areas could be an option, she added, while using two different glazes on kitchen cabinetry can help to bring the space together.
