Idea of the Week: Jewel-Toned Kitchen Islands
Give your kitchen personality and style with a burst of color on the island
While I'm certainly a big fan of the all-white kitchen, I have to say that colorful kitchens have really been catching my eye. There's something perfect and pristine about an all-white palette, a kitchen with surprising color is very playful.
Cabinetry and walls are always fun to play with, but I'm loving the look of all-white cabinetry mixed with an island in a saturated jewel tone. It's completely unexpected, and makes a space seem a little more fun and quirky. Best of all, unlike changing out tile or flooring, it's a relatively easy fix that can transform the look of your kitchen.

The bright amethyst islands in this kitchen are what first set me on this kick. I love the contrast of this bold color with the exposed brick and rustic wood flooring. Try painting your island with Benjamin Moore's Passion Plum for a similar look.
This kitchen, first featured in this home tour, was designed by Colorado designer Andrea Schumacher. From the start, her client knew that she didn't want to have an all-white kitchen, so Schumacher mixed it up with custom Stark wallpaper and a brilliant emerald island, painted in Benjamin Moore's Cat's Eye.
I love how this brilliant sapphire island changes the look of this otherwise all-white kitchen. Without this colorful kitchen island, the kitchen would be beautiful — but nothing particularly unique. Try brightening up your island with a similar hue with Sherman Williams' Dazzle.
