Kitchen Colour ideas and island
Hi, recently had my kitchen done, it’s great but sonetimes feels a little sterile. I am thinking of having the island doors and panels vinyl wrapped dark grey (maybe wood grain) effect to break it all up a little. Also thinking of replacing the step down on the island and making it one level.
Any feedback would be appreciated.

Colour for kitchen walls and blind ideas?
Comments (26)Hi Liz I had a look at the images you posted, and I think a lovely green would be great on your kitchen walls! There is a great one, called Persian Green from Colourtrend, i think it has been discontinued on their current colour charts, but is still available to buy, its a lovely warm natural green and would be fab, looking out onto your garden from inside. The blue appears to make the room look slightly cool...so maybe stay away from blues and greys! Defo change the handles, and just plain white roller blinds, with a side winder, no frills, let the light in, clean and fresh too! Hope this helps ;)...See MoreKitchen colour ideas
Comments (7)Hello S. I think orange is a lovely contrast to grey and white and with the light coming in from your window will look cheery against the smart white and grey. Some pics to help visualise......See MoreIdeas for Kitchen Island Pendants
Comments (2)Hi, are you based in the states as you’ve posted on the Uk site? if so, you may get specific shopping suggestions on the US site. For what it’s worth I don’t think they’re updated. Do you have an extractor? I’m currently without one and my light (not glass) gets really dirty and I wipe it at least twice a week!...See Morelooking at ideas for kitchen island/breakfast bar
Comments (5)If you just want a prep surface and overhang for stools with some open storage then a wooden topped kitchen or dining table, raised up with something like newel posts or similar to work bench height with a shelf inserted between is very effective. If you require a deeper overhang (I believe overhangs larger than 15cm might need bracketing and the tabletop secured well to prevent tipping) then you could place an additional work top over it. You could paint the feet, legs and shelf to match your perimeter units or as an accent colour. Maybe a little on the rustic side but I have seen it with a back gloss kitchen with pine top and cream legs and shelf and it looks good, warming up the black....See More

4 years agoDuplicating a colour from elsewhere in the room is a good idea. I love the bricks and I would try to pick that out to add some warmth and make it look coherent. I would consider making the island one level and if so it could be a good opportunity to introduce a warmer material such as Zebrano, it's a lovely stripy textured wood. As you have no sink or hob on the island this could work?

4 years agoI think it's a great kitchen but needs accessorising. Sorry I can't photoshop but added an aged copper splashback to create a focal point (also wasn't sure if the brick was sealed). A vintage terracotta bowl on the island would reference the brick. The brick is lovely but it is dark, I would suggest light accessories, like adding a marble paddle board where you've got the chopping board and maybe a pestle and mortar, a pot for your pan brush etc or a nice hand wash. Where the pillar is you could also add a hook for a teatowel. I added a runner (not in the right place!) to tie into the sofa but they're not for everyone in a kitchen. You could also add sheepskin pads for the stools for more texture, assuming they don't slip off! What's opposite the main run, just wondering if a large mirror would bounce a bit more light on the brick?
Stepped islands aren't really to my taste but if you were to change it I'd go for a waterfall top to give it a bit more presence (or just change the legs).

4 years agoYour kitchen looks fantastic though have you thought about accessorising. Possibly a vase with flowers, houseplant or even herbs planted in a pot would give new colours to your kitchen. We've recently had delivered some kitchen units to add colour to ours from Murdoch Troon. The kitchen island stands out for us at https://www.murdochtroon.co.uk/freestanding-units/central-island-units/ with a few pieces of decor
