Having a central workspace in your kitchen, like a kitchen island is always a great idea if you are always busy in the kitchen and need that extra space. There is only so much space you can have on the worktops around the walls of the kitchen.

A good kitchen design will be one that is considerate of space that is required to prepare and cook meals; cramped kitchens are always boring and restricting, and when you need to get lots of things out, you will find that you’re going to have to do it in stages due to having no extra room that you may need.

Having a well designed home that is designed to have for a larger kitchen that can have a central workspace, means that you can start being more creative in the kitchen and even have cookbooks out and anything you need in easy to reach places around the kitchen, though usually what you need immediately will be right there in easy reach on the central workspace; also other stuff stored in the cabinets under the central unit.
