Today’s homeowner recognizes the importance of the kitchen. Whether or not you’re a great chef or a tried and true catering junky, you know that the kitchen is the central hub of your home. It should reflect your style and be functional for whatever your family is doing. Read on to discover new trends in the world of kitchen design.
Fresh Colors
If you’re interested in painted cabinetry, you have some interesting options. Black and white seem to be popular colors for many kitchens. White cabinetry with a black countertop is always elegant and modern. Or, flip it and go for black cabinetry and a white countertop. On the other hand, gray has been making an appearance more regularly. Your cabinets will be setting trends when painted gray, or even in a gray wood grain.
If you prefer the look of wood, you might want to consider choosing complimentary woods. You don’t have to have everything looking identical anymore. You might like white cabinetry butting up against cabinets done in a lovely cherry wood. A dark walnut can look stunning next to a lighter wood with an interesting grain. Rustic wood finishes are also an exciting choice that just begged to be touched.
Marry Your Rooms
You have a sleek modern feel throughout your home, so, of course you want to carry it into your kitchen. Like a more traditional look? Opt for carved wood and intricate details in your kitchen design. There’s no longer any reason why your kitchen can’t enhance the overall décor of your home. Choose cabinetry, hardware (we’re loving the new gold look for kitchens), and creative lighting to enhance your décor.
Storage is Key
Storage is such a big part of planning a kitchen remodel. You can’t get by with less, but you might choose to change what you’re doing. You can do this especially well when you choose to have your cabinetry custom made. Changing a cabinet to a shelf, installing garage door-type cabinetry doors, adding drawer storage that will meet your specific needs, or adding a pantry can help make working in your kitchen easier. So, dream big!
Keep it Under Budget
You’ve planned out the kitchen of your dreams. But, can you afford it? You might think that custom cabinetry is out of reach, but there are some options you need to consider. First, hiring a company to consult, design, and make your cabinetry can save you money. You should also research kitchen cabinetry door options, like MDF, which allow you to have veneers in any style you like for a fraction of the cost.
