In Lieu of Traditional Seating
More and more people are opting to nix their traditional table seating in favor of kitchen island seating. This design choice is a great solution for small spaces or floor plans where a formal dining room is disconnected from the kitchen.

Hybrid
There are so many different kitchen island ideas with seating and storage because it offers the best of both worlds. You get extra prep space and storage while also creating seating for your family or guests to congregate while you cook. Play around with seating on one, two, or three of the island’s sides. This option truly transforms the kitchen into a centralized hub for gathering.
Determining Size
How much seating you require will largely determine how big the island will need to be. A kitchen island with seating for four can be relatively small, while a kitchen island with seating for six will necessarily need to be a bit larger.
