How to build a custom kitchen island using RTA cabinets

 Designing and Planning

• Consider form and function when you design your kitchen island. Having a kitchen sink on the island is handy for prepping food, especially for families who cook together. A cooktop or range in a kitchen island, however, is not recommended due to the possibility of splattering grease on bystanders.
• Using a free online kitchen planner helps you choose styles and colors of doors, drawers and countertops. The planner gives you a printable itemized list with the costs of all the materials you need.
• Before you start, check the accessibility of the plumbing and electrical needed for your island. If you’re not doing the utility work yourself, get at least two estimates from plumbers and electricians. Check with your city inspector regarding permits needed.
