{"title":"Kitchen Islands","description":"\u003cp\u003eA kitchen island adds workspace, storage, and a seating surface to a kitchen that has the floor area to support one — it is one of the highest-value additions to a kitchen layout when the proportions are right. At Lulu and Georgia, the kitchen islands collection brings together butcher block and wood-top islands, marble and stone-top prep islands, islands with seating overhangs, and rolling kitchen carts that provide island function with the flexibility of a moveable piece — each chosen for the quality of the work surface and the storage it provides below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat kitchen islands does Lulu and Georgia carry?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe collection includes butcher block-top kitchen islands with open shelf and cabinet storage, marble and stone-top prep islands for cooler work surfaces, kitchen islands with seating overhangs for bar stools on one or two sides, and rolling kitchen carts with butcher block tops and open shelf storage. Island sizes range from 30×18 inches for compact carts to 48×24 inches for substantial freestanding islands. Heights are standard counter height (36 inches) unless noted as bar height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much space do I need for a kitchen island?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA kitchen island requires at least 42 inches of clearance on each working side — 48 inches is preferred for comfortable two-person use. For an island with seating, allow an additional 15-18 inches of overhang on the seating side and 24 inches of floor clearance beyond the overhang for the stools to pull out fully. Measure your kitchen footprint carefully and lay out the island in tape on the floor before purchasing — an island that looks proportionate on paper can feel constricting when installed in a kitchen where circulation needs to work in multiple directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat island top material is best for cooking?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eButcher block is the best choice for active prep use — it is gentle on knives, resists cracking (unlike stone under impact), and can be sanded and re-oiled to remove surface damage. It requires regular oiling and is not appropriate for hot pan placement without protection. Marble is cooler than butcher block and ideal for pastry and dough work, but it is porous, stains with acidic liquids, and chips more easily than engineered stone. For a primarily decorative or seating island with minimal prep use, marble or stone reads more elegantly and requires less maintenance than butcher block.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso explore: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/dining-tables\"\u003eDining Tables\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bar-counter-stools\"\u003eBar + Counter Stools\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/storage-organization\"\u003eStorage + Organization\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/accent-tables\"\u003eAccent Tables\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/entryway-tables-cabinets\"\u003eEntryway Tables + Cabinets\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"elise-sideboard-by-amber-lewis-x-four-hands","title":"Elise Kitchen Island by Amber Lewis x Four Hands","description":"\u003cp\u003eFour Hands brings their exceptional craftsmanship to a timeless collection rooted in Amber Lewis' perennial California style.
