Prep Tables

Prep Tables


2 minute read

This kitchen has oodles of space, but the overall width meant that an Island didn’t feel right in the room. A great solution in this case is a preparation table.

Benefits of a prep table:

  • Prep tables are an elegant addition; and they look good in many different lengths & widths (compared to Islands which tend to look best when they are big)
  • They provide useful extra work surface and storage space, especially for baskets, oversized bowls or dishes you like to have easily to hand
  • Prep tables naturally have a lighter look with space between the worktop and bottom shelf. It feels more delicate than a solid Island
  • It’s easy to add a tea towel rail, a drawer for utensils, and castors to make it easy to move

In this example, as well as providing a handy midway spot for getting food ready to cook between the sink & Aga, this prep table also threads through the Oak and blue accents down the centre of the kitchen.

This is part of our Winterfold kitchen, boot and utility project which was custom-made by our cabinet makers at our workshop in Shere near Guildford, Surrey. Click here to see more images of this kitchen design.
