This contemporary style suburban ranch kitchen had a large peninsula that divided the kitchen from the dinette. Storage was inadequate for the homeowner’s collection of cookbooks and kitchen gadgets, and the space was dark. Removing the peninsula allowed for a large and unique island to take center stage. It has a lot of great storage and seating for 6. Two colors of Caesarstone are used on the island and two cabinet finishes were employed to bring dramatic contrast to the design. The homeowner’s choice of iridescent red backsplash tile reflects the energy of the room and warm the space.
