For a more modern and edgy kitchen ambiance, opt for a contemporary design with an industrial twist. Install an island featuring a zinc and wood combo countertop to add a touch of sophistication and uniqueness. The zinc countertop's sleek and metallic appearance complements the clean lines and minimalist aesthetic of a contemporary kitchen. The wood element adds warmth and texture, creating a visually appealing contrast. Combine this countertop with stainless steel appliances, concrete flooring, and exposed brick walls to achieve an industrial-inspired ambiance that is both stylish and functional.
