Contrasting Kitchen Islands


Have trouble trying to switch up your kitchen style without making it repetitive? A contrasting kitchen island is a perfect way to go!

Throughout 2016 and going forward in 2017 white kitchens have been a huge trend. To avoid a white kitchen feeling too sterile, add a pop of color! This recent KRM kitchen remodels pictured below did just that. Taking a neutral kitchen and adding a little flare!

Another great option for contrasting kitchens is to incorporate warm wood hues with painted cabinetry!

What if white kitchens aren’t your thing? Reverse the contrast. A perfect example:

The key to making this trend your own is to choose the best contrasting color that fits your style. After selecting your colors, there are so many other ways to pump up your kitchen to make it stand out and not be repetitive!
