Custom Kitchen Islands for Rhode Island Remodels
A kitchen island is often the centerpiece of the home — both visually and functionally. At Toensing Construction, we design and build custom kitchen islands in Rhode Island that maximize space, improve workflow, and add timeless appeal to any remodel or new build. Whether you’re looking to add seating, storage, or a focal point, we help you plan an island that fits your layout and enhances how you live.
Kitchen islands offer more than extra counter space. They serve as food prep stations, gathering spots for family and guests, informal dining areas, and storage hubs. With the right layout and features, an island can completely transform how your kitchen functions — creating clear zones for cooking, cleaning, and entertaining while making the space feel more open and efficient.
We’ve built islands in a variety of styles for homeowners in Newport, Bristol, Barrington, and throughout Rhode Island. From classic butcher block tops to waterfall-edge quartz and integrated sinks, we customize each island to meet your needs. We also install built-in features like microwave drawers, pull-out trash bins, under-counter refrigerators, or beverage stations to improve organization and convenience.
Storage is another key advantage. A well-designed kitchen island can house deep drawers, open shelves, roll-out trays, or even full cabinetry on all sides — increasing functionality without compromising design. For seating, we’ll help you determine the right overhang, stool clearance, and layout to ensure comfort and flow.
Lighting and electrical are also essential elements. We coordinate outlets, task lighting, and decorative pendants to ensure your island is as practical as it is beautiful. If you’re incorporating appliances or plumbing, we’ll manage the rough-ins and ensure code compliance throughout the installation.
In open-concept kitchens, an island also helps define space. We’ll make sure it aligns visually and proportionally with your surrounding cabinetry and flooring, so it feels natural and balanced within the room.
Whether you want a compact prep island or a large, multifunctional centerpiece, we’ll help you design something that complements your kitchen’s layout, style, and daily use. Our team manages every detail with craftsmanship and care — so you end up with an island that’s built to last and made to fit.
