A working island is a small kitchen unto itself. Pannello draws each island to its room, considering clearance behind, sightlines from the living area, and the plumbing route, then lays it out so the storage matches the way you actually cook.

Why Pannello

A working island, not a prop

Most stock-cabinet islands are three boxes pushed together. Pannello islands are drawn as one continuous piece, with concealed power, integrated lighting, and panel returns on every visible side.

  • Single continuous piece, not three boxes pushed together
  • Panel returns on every visible side
  • Seating overhang sized for your stools

From clients & designers

What people say after living with their Pannello cabinetry.

"Impressive service after I gave Pannello Home Interiors the difficult task of a partial kitchen renovation. Some of the old frames are far from straight, but the team kept measuring and adjusting for a perfect upgrade. Very pleasant and professional team to work with!"

Frequently asked

Questions clients ask before booking.

How big does my kitchen need to be to support an island?

A working island generally needs at least 42 inches of clearance on every accessible side. We map this on your floor plan during the consultation. Sometimes a peninsula serves better than an island in a Georgetown rowhouse.
