The kitchen in most homes is much more than just a place to prepare and eat food. It is where all the fun, serious and interesting events take place. Families live in their kitchens. They entertain there and spend countless family moments around the table. There is absolutely no question that the kitchen is the ‘heart of the home.’ Regardless of if you are planning a renovation or just redecorating, thinking about the way you live and how the kitchen is used is essential to creating the perfect space.
Some unique and impressive ideas for your new kitchen and how to make it even more welcoming than before are found here.
Use Black and White
A monochromatic palette will provide a minimalistic look; however, this does not have to mean drab and boring. You can still add other elements to integrate your own style and personality. Consider creating a graphic with the tile backsplash or using floating shelves to hold your frequently used kitchen tools.
Consider Something Blue
Do you want to integrate some colour into the space without going overboard? If so, consider a fresh coat of pale blue on the cabinets. It is a ‘happy’ colour and offers an instant facelift for the space without being overbearing.
Utilise all Available Space
This is especially a helpful tip for small kitchens. It is essential to try and use every inch of space in the kitchen. One way to do this is by installing shelving. Open face shelving can be practical and a design element, all in one. The cubes can hold serving pieces or other items and you can have a focal point for the space – a definite win-win.
Neutralise the Design
You can warm up a neutral kitchen by using different shades of cream, ivory and grey, as well as various textures into the space. This type of kitchen is inviting without being intimidating.
Combine the Kitchen and Great Room
Having a kitchen that opens into the primary living area can be extremely inviting. When you implement a larger table you can enjoy the holidays and other special events in a large open space.
When trying to plan your kitchen design, there are quite a few things to keep in mind. Using the tips here will help you create the ideal space for your home that works with your lifestyle while being completely functional.
