I like white cabinets with a rich wood toned island.

Op here - yes! All of this exactly. I realized without the island it looks cut in half. Like the couple couldn’t agree on a color so one partner chose the lower cabinets and the other the upper.

And I also like light counters for the dark islands.

Op here, the more I’m looking at it, I realize I don’t love the ones like I described. I DO like when the ISLAND is a contrasting color Like a darker blue or gray.

So I’m about to post a different question in a new post…

I’ve been seeing a lot of kitchen pictures with a different color for bottom cabinets and top cabinets. Typically a dark blue or gray on the bottom and white on top.

Thought? I know everything will be dated eventually but is this a particularly bad choice?
