Painting your kitchen island

Black has been a standard color for kitchen islands for some time now.  A kitchen that has a fairly minimal design and white perimeter cabinets look great with the pop of color it brings. Black also hides scuff marks from shoes hitting the bar side!  But lets face it; black can also be harsh and unforgiving.

The trend today is to still go towards the dark side but in softer hues of browns, grays, blues, and greens. So you have that look of  nearly black in the right light.  Colors in this palette will soften the look of the kitchen, rounding out the entire feel of the room.

Here's just a couple of options we looked at while recently picking colors for an island in a Shreveport, LA kitchen remodel.
