A kitchen island isn’t just functional — it’s the centerpiece that anchors the entire space. Designer Mary Lou Hawke specializes in creating bold, functional islands that elevate the look, flow, and lifestyle of any home. From dramatic cabinetry colors to thoughtful layouts, her islands combine style, practicality, and timeless appeal, turning kitchens into spaces where cooking, hosting, and everyday life come together.
The kitchen island is more than a counter — it’s where life happens. Morning coffee, family meals, social gatherings, and even quiet work moments all take place here. A statement island isn’t just visually striking; it shapes the way the home functions and feels.
Mary Lou Hawke balances color, texture, and finish to make each island a visual anchor. From deep, moody tones to subtle contrasts, these bold design choices ensure the kitchen feels cohesive while making a strong impression.
A great island is both beautiful and practical. Features like ample counter space, smart storage solutions, and integrated appliances make the island a workspace as well as a centerpiece. Every element is thoughtfully designed to support everyday living.
Beyond aesthetics and functionality, islands foster social interaction. Mary Lou’s designs create spaces where families gather, guests mingle, and kitchens become the heart of the home. This balance of beauty, function, and social design transforms islands into true statement pieces.
Statement islands are meant to endure. Mary Lou Hawke focuses on timeless finishes, durable materials, and layouts that remain stylish for years. Investing in a well-designed island ensures a centerpiece that grows with your lifestyle.

Only if you have enough clearance for safe and comfortable movement around it. In tight spaces, a peninsula or movable island might be a better option.
Allow at least 36"–39" between counters in smaller kitchens, and 48" in larger ones. This gives enough room to open appliances and move comfortably around the island.
