This island's warm brown wood provides the big accent color and texture. It's a wonderful contrast in an otherwise all-white kitchen.

It works great in wood as well. Go for mitered edges for the cleanest look. So is this a trend you'd try in your home? Let us know why or why not below. More: 10 great alternatives to granite counters

Waterfall countertops, in a wide range of materials, is a striking trend in kitchens. Here a wooden countertop with waterfall edges brings in contrast and warmth into this cool kitchen.

The partial-back stool. Some have half backs, some have a seat that curves up just slightly. The backs on these actually do more than most — sometimes there's just little lip of a back that adds more style than back support. These stools have a warm modern feel that I respond to in an all-white kitchen.

Likewise, the wood stools and matching tone of the waterfall counter on the island stand out against this sea of white.

17. The Radius Stool: I can't say it better than my colleague Lily Gahagen did in her description of this stool: "The seat of this stool tips up like a smile, which makes for a comfortable seat — and also a happy looking seat."

That is a very cool island! I like the wood but I am thinking since we want to do wood floors, maybe do another texture for the island top. Could look cool with a silestone or something maybe? What do you think? (chairs are cool too - looks like the west elm ones that are currently around our white kitchen table.)
