On Trend: Contrasting Islands

If you are looking for more counter space for cooking or creating craft cocktails then we suggest a mismatching island! Although the thought of mismatching anything may sound unconventional, bringing in an island of a different color or counter top adds to the kitchen and helps to break the traditional uniform style of cabinetry. 

You can implement this trend by adding a contrasting marble, granite or wood block counter top or you can add a cabinet color of a different hue. The best way to incorporate this style into your home is to choose a material or shade of color that compliments the rest of your kitchen.
