45 Trendy And Eye-Catchy Fluted Kitchen Islands

trendy and eye catchy fluted kitchen islands cover

Kitchen islands surged in popularity a decade or so ago as the focal points and the hub of the kitchen. Not only do they serve multiple uses, like extra cupboard space (useful since we are seeing less wall cabinets in kitchen design nowadays), a spot for the sink or hob, and even masses of worktop space for cooking, socializing or homework. One of the hottest trends in kitchen decor this year is fluted kitchen islands. Fluted can be also called ribbed, ridged, scalloped or whatever else, and such design is a cool way to add interest and texture to your kitchen. Let’s consider fluted kitchen islands to understand if they fit your kitchen or not.

What Is A Fluted Kitchen Island?

Fluting is the vertical ridges on architectural columns, as seen throughout architecture since the Egyptian times. It has become a seriously hot look, especially on the fronts and backs of kitchen islands, creating the much-coveted fluted kitchen island.

There are several different styles of fluting you can go for on your kitchen island, from individually applied curved pieces made from plaster and stone to simple wooden slats and even clever fluted paint effects. Go for the style that you love best and you’ll have a kitchen centerpiece you won’t be able to resist showing off.

What Are The Coolest Fluted Kitchen Islands?

Consider getting a curved fluted kitchen island: it features two hot trends in one and looks really gorgeous. One more idea to add eye-catchiness is to use fluting only on the part of the kitchen island. You may also take a mismatching and even contrasting kitchen island, for example, an all-neutral matte kitchen and a dark-stained fluted kitchen island. Get inspired!
