I suggest including a pullout compartment to stash trash and recycling. If your waste management company also collects compost, consider adding a green waste bin as well. This one by Amazing Spaces also includes a built-in cutting board on top. A handy opening allows you to easily sweep food waste into the composting bin.

I do like the black island, but how would it look with dark floors
layers in drawers
Interesting and maybe easier to see long handled items. You can just pull out
I like the blue, th herringbone backsplash and the fridge at end, although I would like to sit around end
I like how the beverage station is away from the work area
What I like about this island is it has wrap around seating for 4
like the herringbone backsplash
The backsplash is white ceramic 4-by-12-inch tiles with a glossy finish and a subtle wavy texture. “I feel like subway tiles are classic and timeless, but we wanted to modernize it
love this kitchen

I often recommend a dog bowl water filler and food [storage] built into a kitchen island,” designer Ray Langhammer says. “Why? I love dogs, and any homeowner that is a dog or animal owner loves this feature. It’s a designated area for your animal that is out of the way and doesn’t get kicked by guests.”
As mentioned, your island is likely to become your main work surface. And that makes it a good spot for a pullout trash-and-recycling center, like the one designer Sarah Robertson of Studio Dearborn designed for the suburban New York kitchen seen here. This placement allows you to wipe food scraps and crumbs right off the surface into a bin.
like the stove hood
After: Williams painted the existing walls a versatile gray (Comfort Gray by Sherwin-Williams) that works well with the wood tones of the new stained maple island and provides a neutral backdrop for the semicustom maple cabinets painted a crisp white, with brushed satin nickel knobs and pulls. Williams also rotated the new island to improve work flow and included steel-and-wood adjustable-height swivel bar stools. Two schoolhouse-style pendant lights with curvy clear glass shades hang above. A bronze-and-glass swivel sconce offers targeted lighting over the sink.
Pot fillers. My old pot filler rule was this: If I put it in, you must promise to use it. But at what height should it be placed? I recommend measuring your tallest pot and then adding an inch or two. And before your contractor plumbs the waterline, be sure to have the pot filler on-site.
Uplighting. Not all cabinetry goes to the ceiling. In the past, it was common to add a soffit to close the gap. But not everyone likes the look of a soffit. Uplighting creates a source of ambient lighting when the space above the cabinetry is left open. One caveat: The light reflects best off the ceiling when there’s a minimum space of 12 inches; otherwise it will create a halo effect above the cabinets.
Move the warming drawer up. There was a time when the warming drawer was routinely located beneath the double oven stack. In many ways this made functional sense, since it was near the ovens. But over time, many people ceased to use them since they were so low, making accessibility a challenge. These days it’s all about function. Place your warming drawer at counter level and close to your cooking appliance.
. Get a larger hood. Consider an oversize hood, as shown in this photo. A larger hood accomplishes two things. First, it becomes an umbrella that can capture more grease and odor than one sized exactly to your range or cooktop. Second, it increases the distance between the cabinets next to it, visually creating more openness.
