Below are some of the ways or ideas that can help you craft your dream kitchen quickly.
1. Go for a style that is transitional for your kitchen
Have you ever heard of the Transitional style? It is a term used for interior design that goes along with traditional and contemporary materials. It gives off a lived-in along with a personal feel and looks. It ends up giving your kitchen a timeless look that is everlasting and does not go out of style quickly.
The people who opt for a peaceful and harmonious style for their kitchens often go for transitional looks which last for years and make their kitchen look as lively as ever in all those years.
One can go for a classic monochrome look for their kitchen or combine their farmhouse sink with stainless steel appliances to give it a modern touch. The mixture of such different designs, old and new, is known as transitional style, and many people prefer it.
2. The floor is in the spotlight
Gone are when the kitchen floor was just a solid tile with a dull look; now, people tend to use bolder tiles to make the floor stand out. Such is the statement floor tiles, which will rapidly make your dull look turn into something very eye-catching. Ranging from black and white checkerboard vinyl to colorful reclaimed quilt-like arranged tiles, there are a hundred options you can go for when selecting your kitchen floor.
When choosing between bold walls or bold floors, the best option is to go for more aggressive floors as it has a lesser impact on your kitchen look if you want it to stand out but not look too distracting. Lastly, kitchen floors are used the most, and due to that, it is essential that you use the best and durable quality floor tiles when going for something different for your floor.
3. Warmth of the reclaimed items
When going for something that never goes out of style, one specific style has never dated out, the reclaimed wood trend. Fact that reclaimed wood can be used anywhere, from your island top, pantry, cabinet cladding to your butcher block, reclaimed wood can be used anywhere and everywhere in your kitchens. All you need to do is dream about it, and you have the perfect reclaimed wood look for your dream kitchen.
Another reclaimed item that has been going around these days is the reclaimed Terra coat, used as a backsplash or for flooring; it helps bring about a rusty and warm tone to your kitchen with the feeling of it being airy and light. You can always add up a rustic look in your kitchen in the form of rustic doors, antique cabinets, etc. You can either go all reclaimed or just a bit of a look in your dream kitchen.
But make sure that it matches with the rest of your home decor if it has something reclaimed or not. We do not want your kitchen to look like the odd one out or get complete kitchen renovations if it does not sit properly.
4. Store it all away
Kitchens are mostly the store place of your whole house; you bring in grocery, it is placed in the kitchen. Any and every utensil is placed in the kitchen. And sometimes people even add in an extra bit of thing in their kitchen like their brooms and cleaning items there, which is why every single space in your kitchen is like a treasure that you need to save and make full use of. These days there are such innovations that you can easily place all of your kitchen items in a very small place, and it is so well hidden that you cannot see the mess of your utensils in front of your eyes. The cabinets, shelves, pantries, and drawers are designed to hide all the items placed inside them so that the onlooker does not see them, and there is still some space left for things. The multi-functional islands, pullout shelves, and toe-kicking drawers can be installed in your dream kitchen within easy reach in all the right places.
But even with this, one needs to be smart when placing their things or designing their kitchen to keep it all accessible still, so they should focus on the storage space and its accessibility.
5. Countertops are the most essential part of your kitchen
Several types of countertops can be chosen from, for example, Quartz, Granite, Slate, Concrete, and Soapstone. And each one has its own pros and cons. some need finishing; some don’t, some are expensive whereas some aren’t. There is a wide variety you can select from. But still, those who are going for something different are not limiting themselves to these countertops but are trying on new colors, finishes, stains, etc. With the engineered stone, you can design it exactly the way you want.
You can quickly get your hands on the quartz countertops, which will not only be less costly but also give it a marble-like look and will also be easier to maintain compared to the natural stone. Compared to last year, the countertops are far more affordable and durable; the various choices can help give your kitchen a whole new look.
6. All about the finishes and fixtures
When we have talked about bold floors and countertops, the idea behind kitchen fixtures and finishes is similar. Bringing about better colors and designs for your sinks, replacing the old white color with something vibrant and modern, you should not miss out on. The correct use of colors in your kitchen finishes and mainstays adds to the beauty and look of your kitchen, as it gives about a finished look to your incomplete kitchen. This is why focusing on the finishes and fixtures is essential, as even the minute details must be focused upon.
When talking about different colors, make sure you go for something that fits your style and does not get out of your comfort zone to the point that the different designs and colors look too odd. One must keep in mind that balance is critical and know how much of a hint of diverse and vibrant color will fit your kitchen look.
