How a Big Pillar Couldn't Stop My Dream of a Large Kitchen Island

601

Designing my dream kitchen was a labor of love, taking several months of careful thought and planning to bring my vision into reality. The biggest challenge I faced was incorporating a large island table, which has always been a dream of mine, despite a big structural pillar sitting right in the middle of the kitchen. After much brainstorming and creative problem-solving, I was able to design a layout that not only accommodates the island but also turns the pillar into a feature rather than an obstacle.
To achieve a seamless and modern look, I chose a large, continuous piece of sintered stone for the island’s countertop and the backsplash. The absence of grout lines makes cleaning a breeze, and the stone's elegant finish adds a luxurious touch to the space.
I also personalized the kitchen by customizing a light fixture on the pillar, repurposing a dining plate into a unique and eye-catching light. These thoughtful elements come together to create a kitchen that is not only functional but also deeply personal, reflecting my style and making the space truly feel like the heart of my home.
