In modern day, the kitchen is the center of the home. It’s the one spot where everyone joins together to cook, eat, and enjoy each other’s company. Whereas other spaces in the home are often seen as blank slates to add color and accessories, traditionally the kitchen is more monotone with either white, cream, or stained cabinetry.
Color is sometimes introduced throughout the specs of the granite countertop or seen in the dishes that come out from the cupboard, but for the most part, it’s a “safe” room. But why? Infusing color into a kitchen can liven and freshen the overall tone and continue the same vibe throughout the home. Through accessories, tile, fabrics, and cabinets, color can be incorporated into a kitchen to create an inviting and dramatic space.
Galley or small space kitchens don’t allow for a work island, but for those where space permits, a kitchen island is a handy surface and storage area for cooking preparation and also casual meals when counter stools are factored into the design.
Your style of your cabinetry and personal color preferences should always be considered when opting to paint your kitchen island a different color. Often homeowners choose a serene shade of blue or green they’ll enjoy for years to come.
