The gorgeous modern cabinetry features silver fittings and minimalist lines. Complete the look with grey wood flooring, white countertops and a stunning white-grey splashback. At Kinsman, we understand that the kitchen is the heart of your home. It’s where family and friends gather for meals, conversations, and memories. That’s why we believe that a modern kitchen design should be stylish, functional, and comfortable.

The opening brought in light, and allowed us to add an island, which greatly increased our storage space and functionality in the kitchen. A bit of greenery adds color, texture, and life to a kitchen—all necessary elements for an otherwise clean and simple space. Glass-panel cabinets, a staple of traditional kitchens, come in all shapes and sizes.

Blue kitchen cabinets are an enduring look, so why not extend the calming color to your island? It’s a hue that’ll never go out of style, so each time you visit your kitchen—say, dozens of times a day—you’ll be reminded of what a solid design decision you made. For good measure, opt for blue-toned upholstery on your bar stools too. Since there is seating on two sides of this kitchen island byBakes & Kropp, it can double as an informal dining room table.

Woodgrain kitchens

Old furniture can be given new life as a makeshift kitchen island with a little flipping. An easy way to give old furniture a new look is with a fresh coat of cheerful paint like this bubblegum pink color that complements the Kelly green stools. To keep with the bright and airy theme of this home, this neutral dining island boasts light wood slats and curved edges for a subtle, soft look. The rest of the furnishings are neutral as well to add a cheery and clean vibe to the space. The kitchen island is part of the room that provides an extra spot for meal prepping, cooking, gathering for casual meals or coffee breaks, and even extra storage space. Aside from all its practical uses, the island can also serve as a decorative focal point of the room.
