There’s nothing easier than setting up your holiday feast buffet-style in the kitchen. Having an island at counter height makes it simple to display your dishes and save more room around the table for a festive centerpiece and table settings!

Having an ornate backsplash makes cleaning up so quick and easy. If food splatters behind the stove, guests are less likely to see it, but it’s also incredibly easy to clean.

More than just an island in paradise, a big island in your kitchen means more space for cooking, preparing, serving, and eating. When your family gathers for the holidays, it’s likely that too many cooks will want their place in the kitchen. With an oversized island, there’s no such thing! Everyone can help out in some way.

During the holiday season, the kitchen has the tendency to be the focal point of the whole home. Having an open concept kitchen that sprawls into your dining area can mean more time spent with your friends and family.

Cooking in a kitchen with little to no counter space is challenging all the time, but during the holiday season it’s even more difficult. There are so many ways of reconfiguring a space to provide more surface area on your countertops—it just takes a little creativity! Both you and your guests will be grateful for it.
