If natural wood cabinets are a well-known style icon, then a natural wood island is their less-recognized counterpart. It's a fantastic way to highlight the elegance of natural wood, with the added bonus of putting you in closer contact with the countertop. In Gisele Bündchen's home, this often-overlooked feature gets its chance to shine.
The model's kitchen is a peaceful haven of dark natural wood with crisp white accents. Contemporary pendant lights (similar to these from Wayfair) hang over the center of the room, brightly illuminating the glossy white marble countertops. Stainless steel hardware echoes the modern feel of the space. On the kitchen island, dark matte wood offers a stunning contrast with the white counter.
