Though there are kitchens with no kitchen island, it’s still a popular feature for large cooking spaces, and we often see it here and there. It’s not only a functional piece, which allows you cooking, washing, peeling and even eating if there’s an eating zone – it’s part of your kitchen décor. One of the hottest current trends to give an edge to your kitchen is rocking a statement kitchen island. It may stand out thanks to its color, to its style or just differ in everything – it depends on what impression you want to make. Take a look at some trendy ideas below and choose!
Matching But Outstanding
The most popular idea for now is opting for a kitchen island that matches the rest of the kitchen but is in a different color, for example, a black island in a white kitchen, or a plum-colored one in a grey space. If you want a more cohesive look, prefer the same countertops for the whole kitchen, and you can also make a backsplash of the same material. If not – choose a different countertop for the island, so your look won’t be matchy at all, only in style, it will give your kitchen more eye-catchiness. You can also try to match the color of the cabinet countertops with the island and vice vera – this is another eye-catchy idea to try.
