Kitchen design ideas that you cannot have enough of

The true heart of a home, the kitchen is one versatile place. Much more than a space for cooking alone, it is perfect for those cosy meals with family or even entertaining guests. It is only right that your kitchen is done up in a manner that leaves everyone in awe of your style sensibilities.

One way of giving your kitchen a great decorative touch is by the use of colour. You can choose to stick to a monochromatic palette and yet add personality to your kitchen. Black and white makes for one great combination. You could choose to induce the combination by way of checkerboard floor tiles. If your idea of kitchen décor is modern, you can go in for bold colours with a glossy finish. Even if you like to do up the walls in neutral colours, you could add to the kitchen’s character by painting its cabinets in bright colours. A cherry coloured cabinet, for example, is just the right foil to a white kitchen wall. Alternately, dark wood cabinets are a great option to add depth.You could also add a pop of colour to the kitchen through a colourful backsplash. A gingham pattern in a backsplash may just be the perfect way to add both colour and pattern to the kitchen.

An important element of kitchen decor is its storage. Opt for smart space saving storage is not only functional but also aesthetic. A multi cubed shelving unit may just be the right answer to store the many knickknacks that you need to store in the kitchen. Lining the back of the shelves with a creative wallpaper may just be the design flourish that your kitchen needs. Floating shelves on the walls also add to the décor.

 

Think of kitchen designs and accents have a big role to play. Think black accent lights that work particularly well for an open kitchen layout especially for small kitchens. Their craftsmanship is sure to divert the attention away from the size of the kitchen. Your kitchen will also benefit from appliances in an array of bright colours to make that style statement. Bar stools are yet another way to add oodles of character. If ornate is your style you could also benefit from having a black, glossy chandelier in the kitchen.  Doing up the kitchen in stylish accents however need not necessarily mean breaking your bank. When it comes to kitchen ideas, you are limited only by your imagination. Consider colouring old plates with acrylic paint and see them become great conversation starters. A chalkboard wall is another great way to add character to the kitchen. You can perk up the place by using it to display the menu of the day or an inspiring quote that is bound to lift up everyone’s spirits. Making room for your cookbooks in the kitchen is also one great way to add tons of impact to the kitchen.  Food for thought, did we hear you say?
