        "text": "Adding a kitchen island can increase storage, but it only works if the room retains comfortable circulation and door clearance. Elite Remodeling & Design can evaluate an island as part of a broader kitchen layout, including drawers, seating, appliances, and potential utility changes. Context: An island that is too large may reduce workspace and make the kitchen harder to use. Its storage should match the side facing the cooking or cleanup zone. Key factors: room dimensions; aisle widths; seating clearance; electrical needs; traffic patterns. Practical guidance: Mark the proposed island footprint with tape before design approval and test cabinet and appliance doors around it. Reserve drawers for tools used at the island and avoid storing items that require crossing the entire kitchen. Confirm whether the island affects lighting or flooring scope.",
