Double Island Kitchens – The Next Big Trend

August 15, 2019
  • Share

Lately, I have been seeing double island kitchens everywhere. It seems like every time I go on Instagram, Pinterest, or pick up an interior design magazine I see one. The other day I went to visit a friend who has one and it was incredible. Double Islands allow for the perfect combination of entertaining space and being able to cook with ease. It’s no secret that counter space is hard to come by. With a double island, there is a plethora of counter space! 

I think it would be really fun to have a kitchen with a double island. I love to cook and entertain. It’s the perfect solution for having an intimate dinner party or cooking an elaborate meal. Since double islands seem to be following me lately, I decided to do some research and pull together my favorite images. Check out these amazing kitchens I found!

A TASTEFUL WHITE AND BLACK KITCHEN

This kitchen looks perfect for a large family who spends a lot of time in the kitchen. The large square island in the center allows for cooking, prepping, and hanging out near the chef. The other island is great for seating. Perfect for a casual family breakfast or just hanging out.

BLUE CABINETS + AN ARTFUL APPROACH TO DOUBLE ISLANDS

I love these cabinets. This kitchen utilizes one of my favorite kitchen trends: a soft matte blue color for cabinets. I also am a huge fan of the simple black hardware on the cabinets. This kitchen is a very similar design to the first one but, this kitchen has a sink on each island. I’m not entirely sure why you would need two – but it sounds handy for entertaining!

I appreciate this more artful approach to doing a double island. It’s essentially one island but divided. This is a great solution for smaller spaces that still want the flexibility of seating and extra counter space. I think the choice of having two different countertops does a great job at dividing this island into two spaces.

THE HIGHEST CEILINGS PAIRED WITH A DREAM KITCHEN

This space is grand! Those ceilings are insane and make this space seem even larger. This kitchen is fit for a top chef and a large family who loves to entertain. The farthest island has a sink and plenty of counter space while the second island can seat 6! plus still have plenty of counter space since the island is so large.

DOUBLE ISLANDS MEET A GORGEOUS RUG + STUNNING CEILING BEAMS

Talk about island space. This kitchen has two massive islands and a beautiful rug dividing them. This photo shows just how spacious this kitchen really is and how large the islands are in comparison to the rest of the kitchen. With a sink in each island, counter space, and seating this kitchen utilizes the concept well!

This take on double island kitchens is a bit more rustic. The large ceiling beams add a roughness to the design. While the addition of white cabinets and marble counters keeps this kitchen luxurious. These islands offer a sink, seating, a stovetop, and counter space for cooking!

TWO TONED ISLANDS

I absolutely love that this kitchen has two different colored islands. The color palette of this kitchen is just stunning! The combination of marble and wood is very chic. I love that the chairs are also wood to tie together both islands. This is a great combination of counter space and seating while still feeling homey.

Proof that pattern mixing isn’t a risk, it’s a ski Proof that pattern mixing isn’t a risk, it’s a skill.
Heidi Caillier Design took this historic San Francisco home and layered floral wallpaper, striped drapery, checked linens, and antique textiles room after room without a single one feeling overdone. Marble mantels, gilt mirrors, brass fixtures, and warm wood floors do the quiet work of holding it all together.
This is what happens when “more” is chosen on purpose.
Save this for the masterclass in mixing prints. 🔖

A great bathroom isn’t just functional, it’s the one room in the house that’s entirely yours. The stone you choose, the way light hits the fixtures, the tub you actually want to sit in. These are the ones that get it exactly right.
Save this for your next bathroom renovation inspo and follow for more. 🖤

Happy Labor Day! 🇺🇸 Here’s a little throwback toHappy Labor Day! 🇺🇸
Here’s a little throwback to a Labor Day dinner party I hosted a few years ago, and honestly, we’d still do it this way. 🥂✨
Hosting this Labor Day? Keep it simple:
• Set the table with one statement detail + neutral basics
• Choose a menu you can prep ahead so you’re not cooking all night
• Add candles or flowers to make the table feel special
• Serve everything family-style for a more relaxed feel
• Don’t overthink it. The best dinners are the ones where everyone lingers a little longer 🤍
Save this for your next dinner party and send it to someone who’s hosting! 🍽️

The bouclé sofa isn’t a trend, it’s a commitment. The bouclé sofa isn’t a trend, it’s a commitment. Soft, sculptural, and impossible to walk past without wanting to sit down. The rooms that get it right pair it with something unexpected: a dramatic mural, an antique screen, a city skyline, a hand-laid mosaic floor.

A well-designed bunk room isn’t just for kids. It’s about making every guest feel like they got the best bed in the house. Built-in storage, thoughtful lighting, and bedding that actually makes you want to climb up top.
