The Island Lifestyle
Dura Supreme islands are the hub of activity in the kitchen.
Often the centerpiece of activity, an island can be as simple as a small table or an elaborate multi-level surface with its own sink, dishwasher and seating for the entire family. Islands can be created in all shapes and sizes by combining cabinetry to create additional storage and counter space. An island can help to separate the kitchen space from the living space within an open floor plan, so that there are clear work zones for the cook and the family or guests.
Dura Supreme’s island and table program was created to offer designers and homeowners an easy method of creating a one-of-a-kind look. Homeowners can choose from twelve different turned post designs, along with different drawer configurations and floor options. Combined with Dura Supreme’s extensive offering of door styles, woods and finishes, the final design is completely unique.
A freestanding island table is the perfect venue to create a unique furniture-like centerpiece for your kitchen. Select a daring color combination or wood species to contrast with the kitchen cabinetry and embellish it with decorative hardware that is truly singular.
Your kitchen designer can guide you through the selection process to choose your drawer configuration, end treatment, back treatment (plain or beaded), floor option (plain or slatted) and turned post design. The combinations are nearly endless and every design is uniquely suited to you and your home.
The island lifestyle isn't only for the rich and famous. Even the smallest of kitchens can be designed to accommodate an island adding a valuable work surface along with appliances and a prep sink.
The kitchen island doesn't just have to be hardworking and functional. It can also be designed as an inviting centerpiece, enticing friends and family to linger over a cup of coffee or pull up a chair for good conversation.
Because of the islands central location, more and more family meals and occasions gather around the island to interact with the cook rather than a secluded dining room table. “Because of its central importance in a good kitchen design, the island not only is a key element in the work flow of the room, it is a key element in the design and look of the whole kitchen,” explained Karen Wistrom, ASID, Vice President of Marketing for Dura Supreme. “Many homeowners see the island as an opportunity to add a splash of color to the cabinetry and dress it up with extra embellishments like corbels or rattan panels.”
