For a minimalist and zen-inspired kitchen, consider adding a simple kitchen island with a dedicated chocolate-making station. Opt for a sleek and seamless countertop in a neutral color such as white or gray. Keep the design clean and clutter-free by incorporating hidden storage compartments for your chocolate-making tools and ingredients. Use natural materials such as bamboo or cork for the island's surface to add warmth and texture. Keep the overall color palette neutral and soothing.
