The eye-catching kitchen island design feature that will help you fake a bigger cooking space – it's an unexpected twist that will transform a room

A brass fronted kitchen island reflecting a dining table and chairs.

Opting for an island in your kitchen is often a lesson in clever planning - whether you have a smaller room where every inch counts or a larger kitchen where you need to pay attention to the flow of the space. An island can often make the kitchen feel more cramped, that was, until, we discovered this clever design trick.

Choosing a reflective base as your kitchen island idea is a masterclass in making a cooking space feel more expensive, while also creating an eye-catching feature. Creating a kitchen that is equal parts practical, with a dedicated island for extra prep or cooking, and design-led will make your cooking space the envy of guests.
