This is my first kitchen to have an island! It has been a dream for a long time to have a kitchen large enough for one, and ours is really the center of our first floor. They all told us that once we got an island, we would never use our dining table, and they were right! We eat, work and meet around the island every day.
The islands are excellent for many reasons, including the addition of square feet of work, storage space underneath and, often act as the visual front and the center of the kitchen. Some have mop or stoves, others have a divided level between the bar and the height of the counter, and others like ours are a giant open slab.
To help break that counter space, I have a centerpiece of the simple kitchen island with a little dry lavender in a vintage vase and a Cultivation candle Both contained in a gold tray. The central piece of the island is an excellent way to change its seasonal decoration. For me, there is a good balance between having something There for a good touch of decoration and have too much to get in the way or it seems messy.
Here is a rounding of ways to design your kitchen island that can help inject personality and style on the island of your kitchen, regardless of how busy the kitchen is!

Decoration ideas
How to decorate a kitchen island
1. Decored soap in a beautiful container
If you have a sink on your island, nobody wants to look at a cheap soap dispenser on the countertop. Choose containers that coincide with the aesthetics of your kitchen. For a modern appearance, opt for elegant glass or metal dispensers. For a more rustic sensation, consider ceramic bottles or vintage style. Of course, I am partial to me Simple human touchless one!
2. Add fresh flowers and vegetation
Flowers and vegetation create a focal point and introduce a touch of nature, which can be relaxing and energizing. They also add a sensation of freshness and beauty to space. For low maintenance options, consider succulent or herbs, which also double as fresh cooking ingredients. Use vases or pots that coincide with the decoration of your kitchen, from minimalist glass vases to rustic ceramic pots.
3. Organize small items in baskets or trays
My favorite trick for the islands of the kitchen is to use trays and baskets to maintain its island organized and messy. It also makes things easy to move at once when you need space to cook. They also provide the opportunity to exhibit articles in an elegant and cohesive way. They can contain a variety of objects, from fruits and vegetables to essential elements of the kitchen. In general, the odd numbers of elements look more together.
4. Play with height
The incorporation of articles of different heights creates a striking visual interest and prevents the island from looking flat or monotonous. It helps draw attention around space and adds a dynamic element to decoration. Use elevators, cake supports or high trays to show items at different levels. For example, place a vase of flowers in an elevator and use the space below for a bowl or decorative items.
5. Add functional but decorative articles
Articles that are functional and decorative can improve the usability of your cooking island while adding style. The good examples include mason jars or supports for utensils, a bowl of fruits that functions as decoration or that their wooden cutting boards are exhibited. Also excellent space savers!
