5 ways to create a cool kitchen-Concurso y Actividad-Homestyler Forum

Wanna create a cool kitchen? Let’s start from kitchen island!

kitchen island is often seen as the center of the home, where family and friends gather to help prepare (or eat) meals. This central location makes it an important design feature and a great place to add personality to your kitchen. Kitchen island makeover can give your kitchen a new look and help you create a cool kitchen. Here are 5 ways to make it happen!

1. Molding

Firstly, the most effective way is to embellish the island’s faces and corners with molding. This provides a sense of elegance which is essential to transitional kitchens (one of the most popular styles). It’s a good long-term investment since the stately look will likely stay in demand.

2. Color
Want to expand your color palette but hesitate to go big? Repainting just the island (or even just one side) will add a little drama without visually shrinking the space that dark or brightly colored cabinets might bring. Pair the island with contrasting bar stools to liven it up.

3. Wood
Another way to visually brighten a kitchen island is to simply match its finish to the flooring material. Surrounding a kitchen island with wood or laminate might be unexpected, but warm and inviting without being heavy.

4. Furniture Styling
Giving an island furniture-like is an effective way too! It can make kitchen island feel even more like its own little hub of activity separate from the functional cabinets around it. Even an existing kitchen island can get an upgrade by putting legs or feet on the exterior.

5. Salvaged Materials

Last but not least, source materials from antique or thrift stores, such as old tin ceilings, distressed wood, or sheet metal from actual restaurant kitchens, and upcycle them into custom front treatments. It can add a little vintage charm to your kitchen.
