A statement kitchen should be your goal in a home redesign. Whether you are buying a new home or renovating your current one, one of the most important areas is the kitchen. If a home has a beautiful kitchen with a nice flow, owners have much to be happy about.
There are many ways to design a kitchen, if you are starting from scratch, it makes it that much easier to customize it to your family’s needs. Some like light and bright kitchens, while others want them to have personalities using colors, texture, and depth. If you’re interested in creating a statement kitchen, see the information below to spark some ideas and open opportunities for your project.
Don’t be afraid of dark colors
Many are cautious when considering painting a wall black or a very dark color. We have been told that dark colors can make a room feel small, which can be true. However, the trick is to use the right amount of dark and place it well, like in this kitchen. The white, black, and textured details in this kitchen are well-balanced, which gives it depth, interest, and a lot of high-contrast features. Another way to soften up black or darker colors is to add some wooden features, whether that entails using wood flooring, a wood island, wood shelving, or furniture. This adds a peaceful, earthy accent to the space and provides a nice balance.
Functionality in your space
Pretty kitchens are great, but we want them to be fitting to our lives, our needs, and our functional demands. This kitchen includes some extra shelving for cookbooks, as well as a built-in wine holder. It is practical for the family, as well as creates a beautiful moment with the moody turquoise cabinetry. Overall, it is a simple, modern kitchen, but the bold pop of color and accent shelving adds interest to the space.
When you are thinking of remodeling or building your future kitchen, make notes of what you would like. Consider things like: a cabinetry layout that fits your lifestyle, open shelves, hidden spice racks, drawers vs. doors, hidden recycle and trash, and the list goes on. Having key features that will make a difference in your everyday living is more than likely worth the investment.
Accessorizing
One element that can make a huge difference in your statement kitchen is accessorizing. If you have open shelving, placing decorative items on them can showcase your personal style and interests. Think along the lines of pretty bowls, vases, plates, and greenery. Another go-to accessory combination could be candles, decorative trays, and potpourri. This can be an opportunity to bring in beautiful, simple color accents and a wonderful scent.
