You can never have too much preparation space or cupboards to store all your essential kitchen gizmos and gadgets, but what’s a home chef to do when they don’t want to undertake a major kitchen reno? The answer is to invest in a free-standing kitchen island bench. While some kitchen islands come built-in, did you know you can buy them separately to place wherever you’d like in your kitchen? They came in all sizes and materials and with different features, and not all cost an arm and a leg. You can nab a beautiful free standing kitchen island bench for as little as several hundred dollars. It’s important you measure your space before purchasing a kitchen island as you need to be able to fit it in your space, while also having room to move around it without squeezing past (as well as room to open appliances like dishwashers and ovens). We’ve rounded up some of our favorite free standing kitchen island benches in Australia to suit a range of tastes, sizes and budgets.
