Add Space, Storage, and Function to Your Kitchen
A kitchen island can change how your kitchen is used every day. Whether you need additional prep space, seating, or storage, a well-designed island helps improve both function and flow.
At ROI Kitchen Creations, we design and build kitchen islands for El Paso homeowners as part of full kitchen remodels or layout updates. Each island is planned around your space, not forced into it.
What a Kitchen Island Can Add to Your Space
Kitchen islands serve multiple purposes depending on the layout and size of your kitchen.
Common island features include:
Additional countertop workspace
Seating for casual meals or gatherings
Built-in storage and cabinets
Space for appliances or sinks
Visual separation in open layouts
We help determine whether an island fits your kitchen and how it can be used effectively without disrupting movement or workflow.
Custom Kitchen Island Design for El Paso Homes
Not every kitchen benefits from the same island design. That’s why layout planning is essential.
Our design process considers:
Kitchen size and traffic flow
Cabinet and appliance placement
Countertop materials and finishes
Seating needs and clearance
Electrical or plumbing requirements]
By planning islands early in the remodel, we help ensure the final layout feels balanced and functional.
Kitchen Islands as Part of a Full Remodel
Kitchen islands work best when coordinated with cabinets, countertops, and lighting. Our team plans the island alongside the rest of the kitchen to ensure proper proportions and alignment.
This approach helps avoid:
Crowded walkways
Improper seating clearance
Poor lighting placement
Storage inefficiencies

Kitchen Island Frequently Asked Questions
1. How big should a kitchen island be for my space?
The size of a kitchen island depends on available floor space, cabinet depth, and walkway clearance. In most kitchens, a minimum of 36–42 inches of clearance around the island is recommended. The gallery shows islands sized appropriately for different kitchen layouts to help you compare proportions.
2. What is the minimum clearance needed around a kitchen island?
Most kitchens require at least 36 inches of clearance for walkways and 42–48 inches near appliances like ovens or dishwashers. All islands shown in our gallery were designed with proper clearance to maintain comfort and functionality.
3. Can a kitchen island include seating without crowding the kitchen?
Yes, if planned correctly. Seating requires additional space for legroom and movement behind stools. The island examples in our gallery demonstrate how seating can be added without blocking traffic flow or work zones.
4. Is it possible to add a kitchen island during a remodel if one didn’t exist before?
In many cases, yes. Adding an island depends on kitchen size, layout, and existing cabinet placement. Several projects in our gallery show kitchens where islands were added as part of a remodel after evaluating space and workflow.
5. Should a kitchen island match the rest of the cabinets exactly?
Not necessarily. Some homeowners choose matching cabinets for a uniform look, while others use contrasting finishes or materials to make the island stand out. The gallery includes both approaches to help you decide what fits your style.
