   • Not enough space between the island and cabinets. It's important to allow for enough space for more than one person to comfortably move between the kitchen island and the cabinets around the perimeter of your kitchen.
   • Too little overhang for a breakfast bar. Having an extra casual dining space, such as a breakfast bar, is one of life's small luxuries. However, it has to be somewhere you actually want to sit and eat, so factor comfort - and style.
   • An awkward seating area. When deciding which side to place the overhang for the kitchen island seating ideas, consider what's behind the seating, where are the cupboard doors, what diners will be looking at and the amount of space between them.
   • An uncomfortable height. The kitchen island needs to be at a height that is comfortable for you to stand while you're cooking. As well as suitable for pulling up a seat if that's what you intend.

   • Do Choose a Tough, Easy-Care Countertop Material. Kitchens are places of heavy traffic flow and productivity, so a good, durable natural or engineered stone for the countertop is crucial, says Katherine Wallis, interior designer and director at Wallis Design.
   • Do Get the Proportions Right. Getting the proportions of your island correct lets you work efficiently in the space and ensures that traffic flow is maintained.
   • Don’t Forget Power Outlets and Appliances. There’s nothing worse than a beautiful piece of stone ruined by ill-considered power outlet locations, says Melonie Bayl-Smith, principal architect at Bijl Architecture.Think about how both sides of the island can be “working” sides, not just the “kitchen” side.
   • Do Consider How You’ll Use the Island. If you like entertaining or eating everyday meals at a breakfast bar, then an island with more overhanging area and less cabinetry or storage underneath might be for you.
