Bringing in a Pop of Color with a Colorful Kitchen Island

The kitchen is one of the most popular places in which to use neutral colors. Neutral palettes are great for a lot of reasons, such as flexibility with decor (you can switch out accent colors whenever you want, such as for seasons) and resale value. However, if you want to make bring in a bold pop of color in your kitchen, you may be thinking you have to paint the cabinets or change out the backsplash.

Instead of doing all of that work, why not just change the color of the island?

Colorful kitchen islands are the perfect way to bring in a pop of color without doing any major renovation. Also, because it’s contained to one spot, it has more of an impact than changing the walls, cabinets or backsplash. This one accent can bring a lot of charm and character to the space. And it’s very unexpected.
