Homeowners looking to remodel their kitchen have fallen head over heels in love with islands. Not only are they stunning focal points to any room, but they're also ideal for gathering families to cook, talk and do homework together. Due to its immense popularity among homeowners, some have gone as far as extending existing cabinets in order to incorporate seating areas; adding legs is a simple project that adds character and style.
One of the most sought-after legs for island designs is a turned leg with a small apron, as this simple detail adds furniture-like qualities that work especially well in contemporary environments.
Semi-recessed legs offer another variation on this theme, featuring a square profile all the way to the floor but a top that has been significantly recessed, creating a unique yet less ornate look than traditional cabinet legs.
These traditional-style legs blend well with any kitchen design style, featuring small molding at the base and a large projection - giving the island more substance that fits right in with antique-style kitchens.
Corbel legs can add the perfect finishing touch to an island by adding elegance. Common examples include intricate wood pieces with scrollwork and acanthus leaves; however, more modern corbel designs feature clean lines for versatility in styling options.
