Glendale Kitchen Islands
Islands sized to the room, with the seating, storage and power you'll use every day.
The island is where homework, prep and conversation happen at once. Many Glendale homes came with a small fixed island or none at all, and a bigger one changes how the whole great room works.
Size is the first decision. We draw the island with walkway clearances on every side, then decide what goes inside: drawers, a trash pull-out, a prep sink or a dishwasher.
Outlets in an island add a circuit, and the City of Glendale's permit Q&A says new circuits and outlets need a permit. A prep sink adds drain work, which also needs one.


A countertop overhang deep enough for knees and stools.

Wide drawers and a trash pull-out on the working side.

A second sink so two people can work at once.

Power tucked into the end panel for mixers and laptops.
| Option | What it adds | Permit in Glendale? |
|---|---|---|
| Seating overhang | Stools on one or two sides | No, by itself |
| Outlets | Power for small appliances | Yes, new circuit or outlets |
| Prep sink | A second water station | Yes, drain pipe work |
| Cooktop | Cooking facing the room | Yes if gas or a new circuit is added |
As big as the room allows while keeping comfortable walkways on every side. We draw the clearances so you can see them before deciding.
Often, if the room is wide enough. We check the floor space and plan power for it, since the City of Glendale requires a permit for new outlets.
Yes. A contrasting island in a deep color or wood tone is one of the most requested finishes we install.
Quartz is the most common choice. Some homeowners add a butcher-block section at one end for baking or serving.
