Stainless-Steel Kitchen Islands: Ideal for Small Kitchens

When the Stonorovs set out to design their 400-square-foot house in Oakland for themselves and their young toddler, the kitchen required particular attention. They found a kitchen island—–an equipment stand purchased from online restaurant supplier Serv-U—–to be essential in providing much-needed counter space. The bottom shelf creates additional storage and the outlets mounted underneath allow it to become a coffee and toast center. Because it’s stainless steel, the family can put a hot pan right on the surface without worrying about trivets—–which are hard to keep handy in such a small place.
