Whether you are a foodie or a weekend chef, when it comes to cooking, one thing remains universal–SPACE is essential.

There have been great strides in the design world when it comes to creating more space. With the use of dual islands, one island can be the snack area, while the other island, the prep area. This configuration helps keep kitchen traffic to a minimum in the prep area.  Another way to maximize space – incorporate your appliances within the cabinetry, such as a microwave nook or dishwasher drawer.  A microwave drawer is a chic way of integrating an appliance into your beautiful kitchen while saving space and enhancing the aesthetics.

An island in your kitchen adds counter top space as well as extra storage. The great thing about islands – they can be personalized to meet the needs of each cook and homeowner: open shelves for cookbooks, wine racks, pots and pan drawers, tray/cookie sheets, etc…

When it comes to kitchens, creating a space that reflects your personality is key and having more counter space is desirable!

Single Bowl Sink with Acrylic Glass Divider

Have you ever needed to wash a cooking tray and only half of it fits in your sink? Or tried balancing it on the center divider, only to result in a big soapy, watery mess? Tired of the clean up? Why not take out the middle man!

This new and innovative sink allows you to remove the center divider which enables a bigger and more open space for washing multiple types of food at once or for pre-washing dishes. Not only can the central divider be removed, it doubles as a cutting board!

This single combo sink features a removable divider, creating a dual workspace for maximized functionality and water saving solutions. The sink is made of 16-gauge 304 stainless steel and has a satin finish. The divider is made of acrylic glass (PMMA) which is a versatile material and is often used as a light alternative to glass.
