Home Plans with Kitchen Islands

Similarly, a married couple or single professional who frequently hosts guests may appreciate the additional counter space for preparing appetizers and mixing drinks. Consider a kitchen island house design with an adjoining snack bar (also termed an “eating bar” or “service bar”), since this provides extra prep space as well as additional seats, whether you are a parent or a regular host of visitors (or both!). Another common element to consider is an open floor plan, which guarantees that whoever is preparing supper can still participate in the activities of the main living room.

Choose a house plan with a cooktop island, a huge curved island, or a double island for added flair. Consider additional unique kitchen features, such as double ovens, walk-in pantries, butler pantries, breakfast nooks, and opulent vaulted ceilings, for cooks and aspiring chefs. Some house plans also include outdoor living space off the kitchen, like a porch or patio, where people can enjoy natural light and/or a beautiful view.
