As a Realtor my clients want an open floor plan. Removing walls in your 1950 - 1980's homes and adding an arch way opens the home. I love this kitchen because it now has a focal point: the center island. Meals can be served here, cookies can be rolled out on the granite tops or it's a great space for serving buffet style. When you add an island to your kitchen, it should be a contrasting color from your kitchen cabinets. It is a personal preference if you want the counter tops to match with the island, I like transforming your kitchen into a laid back "art gallery" so, I like two different counter tops, one light, one dark. Kitchen islands are great for additional storage.
Hint: Always consult an architect when removing walls. The walls maybe supporting which can be removed by adding a steel beam and using posts as supports.
