Farmhouse décor is quickly becoming the IT trend to add in a home, including in the kitchen area. One way to add the trend quickly and seamlessly is by adding in a rustic kitchen island. Kitchen islands are huge because of how versatile they are and how well they adjust to multiple different color schemes. With that being said, adding a rustic kitchen island may be the upgrade your kitchen needs. Here are a few rustic kitchen island ideas you should consider.
Marble
Marble is a staple in the kitchen space. However, if you want to give marble a rustic appeal pair it with a wooden base or in a full rustic area for that touch of modern. Add bold stools or wooden stools to complete the look and have a classic rustic feel.
White
An all-white kitchen island is perfect for adding a modern rustic feel to the kitchen. The white will appear crisp and clean while still being rustic. The key is pairing it with wooden stools, they will pair well with the softness of the white island.
Stone
Stone is a wonderful element to decorate with because of its versatility. Stone comes in multiple different hues which is perfect when you want to add a rustic appeal that works well for your kitchen space. Choose darker shades of gray, tan, and brown for that organic rustic appeal.
Custom Island
If you have a small kitchen you may think kitchen does not have enough room for an island, but in all reality, there is always enough space for an island. The key is creating a custom island that works for you. Choose a wood that will work well in your kitchen area and you are good to go.
Vintage Touch
Remember those large square wooden tables your grandmother used? Consider adding them to your kitchen as a rustic island for a vintage touch that adds a cozy feel to the area. You may want to consider this option if you have a large kitchen that needs “something extra.”
