Outlets on kitchen island

Installing outlets on a kitchen island is both a functional and safety requirement, especially for modern kitchens where multiple appliances may be used simultaneously.

Outlets are often installed on the vertical side of the island, under the countertop overhang. This placement keeps them accessible but discreet, avoiding interference with the aesthetic. For larger islands, consider installing multiple outlets on different sides to ensure convenient access from various parts of the kitchen.

Adding to a kitchen island enhances the functionality and versatility of the space, making it easier to use appliances and devices while cooking or entertaining. By following code requirements, ensuring GFCI protection, and considering both placement and aesthetics, you can achieve a safe and practical design for your kitchen.
