Kitchen
6. End-of-island storage. Having a kitchen island with a bar refrigerator built right into it is a design decision that stands out from the pack. Since this picture was among the most saved images of the year, Houzzers seem to agree. While the fridge here is full of adult beverages, it would also come in handy for juice boxes and other kid-friendly drinks, allowing the little ones to serve themselves.
4. Crimson focal point. Soft, calming colors flow throughout the rest of this English kitchen, from the exposed beams to the white Shaker-style cabinets. But James Mundy, director and lead designer at JM Interiors, threw in a bright crimson to give the peaceful place a wow factor.He then added other bits of red in the space to tie the room together. The curtains have stripes of red; the bookcase has a red back; and a shiny, red KitchenAid mixer sits on the counter. Island color: Incarnadine, Farrow & BallSee more of this kitchen
3. Soft blue makes the cut. This couple sifted through tons of photos looking for just the right color for their island. They knew they wanted to stay with a green, blue or gray to match the rest of the home’s decor, but even with those limitations, the options seemed endless. Eventually, the couple landed on a soft blue. Their choice wasn’t a specific paint color, so designer Christine Sheldon had to find a similar paint and then tint it until she had just the right shade.

1. Blue beauty that does it all. This stately blue island adds contrast to the room, standing out against the white cabinets, walls and backsplash tiles. It immediately grabs your attention and begs you to pull up a barstool.It’s not just a place for sitting, though. The couple who live here with their two children also needed their remodeled kitchen to do a lot of work. That’s why, in addition to seating for three, Gilday Renovations helped the couple design an island with a stainless steel sink, two dishwashers and a polished marble top.Island color: Web Gray, Sherwin-WilliamsSee more of this kitchen
