3 Tier Kitchen Island is a simple
Home Design Idea I have used many times over the years. Most kitchen islands tend to be one tier or two. On a single tier island one counter provides kitchen prep and eating / serving purposes. On a two tier island one tier is the cooking counter and the second tier is the eating / serving counter. I like to add a third tier because it adds another dimension and offers more storage possibilities. See below for a few examples.

Three tiers - one for kitchen prep, one for eating and serving and one for storage. Here we used glass doors for display. I like the way the taller tier "anchors" the other two counters. It also helps to define the edge of the kitchen from the hallway which is to the left. |

Here (in our Excelsior Farmhouse) tiers on both ends "capture" the kitchen and eating counters. The eating counter is highlighted with a natural walnut surface. The taller end cabinets also provide another display surface. |

Another simple example (from our Midwest Living Farmhouse) with a curved serving counter. The taller end cabinets also help to conceal kitchen clutter from the living room beyond. This is a good design strategy within an open floor plan. |
The kitchen looks so refreshing. The wooden floors and wooden furnitures looks perfect and it really compliment with the whole kitchen.
