If you’re remodeling your kitchen, the kitchen island takes center stage. Kitchen islands aren’t only storage areas for dinner items, dishes, and décor; they also represent the soul of the house. It’s a place where family members can gather and share a meal and a spot where kids can do their homework while moms can complete their chores.
It’s a place where you can also have a casual romantic dinner with your partner. A beautiful island can become the centerpiece of the house with the right material and artistry. Here are some ideas you can consider for your kitchen island:
Laminate Countertops
Laminated countertops can transform your kitchen. This material is cost-effective, wear and tear-resistant, and of high quality. You can choose from an extensive range of colors, textures, and patterns based on your kitchen theme. They are easy to clean and maintain and much more affordable than marble and wooden counter slabs.
Furniture Styling
You can style details around the island like comfortable stools and chairs, a flower vase for décor, a basket of fruits and snacks for the kids. The island can become a separate hub of activity from the kitchen and a comfortable space for the family to interact.
Match The Flooring
If you want your countertop to stand out, you can match the island cabinet material with the same color as the floor. If you have wooden floors, then that’s even better. This way, you will have an island that feels warm and inviting without being heavy. You can also consider getting flooring done around the island and kitchen for a complete remodel.
Island Molding
Island moldings have a very stately vibe, and they are worth the investment. This design looks regal and elegant, an essential item in transitional kitchens. And the embellishments in the corners add value and aesthetics to the social center of the house.
Salvaged Materials
Think outside the box with this creative idea. You can use an old-fashioned door and turn it into a polished wooden countertop. You can also use metal sheets from actual restaurants and old tin ceiling tiles and upcycle this old material into a custom island countertop or island-building material.
LED Lighting
LED lights under the furniture and island counter can look so romantic and relaxing. You can lead light strips and paste them under the counter or at the base to subtly brighten the whole space. You can also put in skylights or small horizontal windows facing the yard to let healthy, natural light in as well.
