2. Island as a Living Divider
Using a kitchen island as a natural divider is a smart way to maintain openness while defining spaces. A sleek marble or wooden countertop can double as a dining space or casual breakfast bar. You can add a few bar stools with colorful cushions to create a playful yet sophisticated vibe.
Tip: Use open shelving under the island for storage while keeping it airy and accessible from both sides.
