Old-Fashioned Kitchen Islands

This Wood Kitchen Island Was Inspired by Mid-Century Home Decor

This wooden kitchen island would be an excellent addition to a home with limited space.

Many apartments in cities have small kitchens that appear against a wall rather than taking up a room, forgoing an all-encompassing kitchen in order to maximize space. This wooden kitchen island designed by 'Wake the Tree Furniture Co.' is small enough that it would fit in these apartments. The island is designed with a mid-century aesthetic and made from "locally sourced black walnut." A perforated metal wall makes up part of the island to be used as a backdrop to hang kitchen products, while shelf space allows users to hold cookbooks and other necessary items.

The islands can be customized upon ordering and would be perfect for people looking to maximize function with minimal space.
