8 Dreamy Kitchen Islands With Quartz Countertops

A kitchen island creates a beautiful focal point, inviting spot to gather, and smart storage solution. There’s no wonder it’s one of the key elements in some of our favorite KITCHEN LAYOUTS. From simplified prep to ease of entertaining, the island life is one we can get behind. We’ve rounded up thirteen kitchen island ideas to help you plan your dream space.
1. Make a statement with a high-contrast kitchen island.

6. Pair a neutral kitchen island with fun floral stools.
A neutral palette in your kitchen allows you to play with pattern and color through your décor. We love the endless summer vibes created in this kitchen by GRACE HILL DESIGN and GORDON JAMES CONSTRUCTION, featuring vibrant floral stools at an ELLA-topped kitchen island.

7. Opt for a coordinating quartz backsplash to complement your kitchen island.
A CAMBRIA BACKSPLASH is a great way to extend both the beauty and benefits of your countertops. A design with bold movement like Brittanicca deserves to be showcased at multiple angles, as seen in this Hamptons-inspired kitchen. The coordinating backsplash makes the kitchen island a stronger focal point, and offers the added perk of EASY-CLEAN CONVENIENCE (no tile grout to scrub!).
