Contrasting, Yet Complementary Features<\/h2>\n
If someone were to ask you to picture a contrasting kitchen island, most people would picture an island with a base that\u2019s a different color than the main cabinets. And while that\u2019s absolutely true, you can also play around with different cabinet styles and even countertops to achieve that contrasting look.<\/p>\n If you select simple shakers as your main cabinets, consider going with a more ornate style for your centerpiece island. The same principle applies to countertops and even hardware. The goal is to choose design features that complement each other, not necessarily \u201cmatch\u201d.<\/p>\n While white cabinets can help your kitchen feel larger and more open, they can very easily make the space feel too sterile if you\u2019re not careful. Adding a kitchen island of a contrasting color is a great way to add some warmth back into the design, and it creates a focal point for the eye to center on.<\/p>\n Conversely, let\u2019s say you felt bold and selected a jewel tone green or blue for your main cabinets. A white kitchen island would be a great way to make sure the design isn\u2019t overpowered with those rich colors.<\/p>\n When selecting a contrasting kitchen island, you have more to consider than just the contrast between the island and the main cabinets – especially if you have an open concept kitchen\/dining\/living room design. Think about how the colors and materials you select for the contrasting island can be subtly incorporated into the rest of the space so that the design feels seamless.<\/p>\n Request a design consultation via our online form linked here. <\/a>From there, our design experts will walk you through how to choose the right contrasting island for your space.
