The kitchen is a place where guests naturally love to gather. Especially around the holidays, we congregate at the heart of the home where sweet treats, oven roast, and memories are made. At its center? The beloved kitchen island. We’ve gathered five of our modern kitchen islands that are more than worthy of hosting the holidays.

The rich wood elements bring a warmth  in keeping with the mid-century modern aesthetic of the home.

The kitchen island of our Watermill Cottage maximizes storage with base cabinets flanking both sides. The metal mesh inlay of the doors with the surrounding metal bead is a detail typical often used in Pembrooke & Ives projects to achieve a clean, contemporary look and a nod to the industrial professional kitchens of restaurants.
