Why not give your kitchen a fresh new look without breaking the bank? The quickest and easiest way to do that is with paint. There is nothing like a fresh coat of paint to transform a space.
Kitchen Island Paint Colors
A popular choice for kitchen islands continues to be white paint colors, like Sherwin Williams Pure White and Benjamin Moore White Dove. They are a great option for small spaces, as they can make a room appear larger than it is.
Darker colors like Hale Navy and Boothbay Gray, both by Benjamin Moore, and any other dark colors, tend to work best in larger spaces. Dark paint tends to add that cozy factor we all love!
