Choose The Color Scheme
The first step to styling a kitchen includes choosing the color scheme. Do you love neutral interiors? Think Arctic Blonde, Kittiwake, and Silk Seal, all by Colourtrend. Aiming to create a statement with bold colors? Go for shades of blue, such as Mussel.
Jot down the colors you love and shortlist the ones that will work together in coherence to create your dream kitchen interior!
Mix Materials And Textures
You may come across a picture of the perfect kitchen — but not be able to tell what exactly makes it so stunning. The secret is, it layers different materials and textures to create visual interest!
Use wood for the flooring and marble for the countertops. Oak cabinetry, porcelain backsplashes, and metal handles also diversify the materials used.
You can incorporate textures through soft furnishings (for example, laying down runners) and incorporating houseplants — more on that below!
Incorporate Greenery
In addition to adding texture, plants clean the kitchen air, have multiple health benefits, and add a pop of color. Looking at plants is also believed to boost creativity — something you’ll appreciate while trying out that new recipe!
Easy-to-care-for varieties that thrive in kitchens include:
Basil
English Ivy
Pothos
Snake Plant
Play With Patterns
Incorporating different patterns adds energy to the kitchen and leaves a lasting impact on the viewer. Famous patterns for the kitchen include shaker, hexagon, and herringbone.
You can incorporate lasting patterns through bespoke backsplashes, patterned tiles (such as subway tiles), and characterful blinds.
On the other hand, patterns that are quick to change up can be added by displaying fun crockery and patterned kitchen towels.
Focus On The Details
A successful kitchen project pays close attention to detail. In that regard, here are some tips to keep in mind:
Use different kinds of door handles. Two would ideally do the job — preferably elongated handles and mini knobs for the cabinets.
Invest in the hood as it makes a statement. A custom-made extractor hood is an excellent option!
Never ignore the finishes — they may seem negligible but have a great impact. From satin brass and bronze to stainless steel and chrome, there are several options to choose from.
Conclusion
It’s easy to neglect the kitchen when it comes to decorating, but remember — it is an integral part of your house and deserves all the attention. With this blog post coming to an end, we hope you now know how to style a kitchen! Which idea was your favorite? Share with us in the comments below.
