Best island kitchen ideas in 2017
Renovated Island
In this Illinois bungalow, the kitchen island comprises parts via an antique sideboard, while an opulent chandelier and vivid vintage fridge add grandeur to a little space.
Dark and Light
Offsetting the glistening white appliances within this California home: an island using dark soapstone counters and backsplashes, in addition to ash cabinetry painted a muted gray-green (Paris Gray by Annie Sloan Chalk Paint). The wicker stools are by Palecek.
Corner Space
The 16-square-foot island in this very small farmhouse makes intelligent use of corner storage.
Color-Blocked Accents
Zippy bursts of solid colors, like the row of candy-hued stools in the kitchen island, are vibrant without overwhelming the kitchen of the Minnesota lake cottage. "Using bigger chunks of colour versus small, complicated patterns creates a bolder state-ment that's also easier on the eye," says interior designer Michelle Fries, who helped organize the space.
Upcycled Desk
The homeowner of the revived country kitchen stumbled upon this early-1900s green desk -- $350 in an antiques store -- and watched an chance for a one time workstation. She improvised a shelf with propping basic wood planks, to make the piece more functional.
Farmhouse Design
The kitchen island in this Ohio home boasts a zinc high crafted with a local metal shop and has a built-in plate rack for stealthy storage. Subway tile from Home Depot creates the backsplash.
A Dash of Color
Windsor stools and a red-patterned carpet sit in front of the kitchen's island in this Pennsylvania house. As kitchen cupboard latches Boat hardware requires a role.
