Interior Design Tips To Refresh The Look Of Your Kitchen
Creating your dream home can often be a lengthy process – especially when it comes to the kitchen – and, with a number of elements to consider including walkways, countertops and landing space, it’s easy to disregard design and functionality.
Whether you have recently moved home or simply want to update your kitchen, we’ve got all the tips and tricks you need to effectively refresh the hub of your home.
Making The Hub Of Your Home Exciting
A kitchen is often the heart of a home where memories are made and meals are prepared on an almost daily basis so, when redecorating your kitchen, consider how you can maintain its flare.
In some cases, less is more, so opting for a basic cabinet front could dress up your new kitchen. A classic style cabinet front, however, can be just as effective, adding a modern touch without stealing all the attention.
If functionality is at the top of your priority list, then the Metod – Elegance range could be the perfect option. This cabinet fronts functional yet discreet moulded finger makes it easy to grip onto without taking up any more space, which is ideal for families with young children as there is nothing to bump into or hold onto.
It’s The Little Things
Once you have identified the theme of your kitchen, whether that be a tranquil kitchen style, a modern farmhouse kitchen style or coastal kitchen style, the next step is to consider how you can enhance your interior design efforts with finer details.
For starters, the finish of your kitchen cabinets can make a big difference to the overall feel of the room. While matte kitchen cabinets have become a huge trend in recent years, gloss kitchens leave you with a sleek design that looks stylish and can be personalised. If you’re undecided, then semi-gloss kitchens offer a subtle sheen, which can help to tie all elements of the kitchen together. This type of kitchen cabinet also reflects natural and artificial light, helping to make your space appear bigger.
Not only do you need to have the right finish, but it is important to think about fittings such as handles that can help bring the room to life, from the BOA Handle to the Gate Handle which is shaped like a ring, providing a traditional yet modern feel.
Contrast Is Key
Even if you have chosen a monochromatic kitchen theme, contrast is key. Not only does the simplicity of this design grab the attention of those who walk in, but the stark contrast creates an element of simplicity that is perfect for any home.
While white can be combined with almost any colour, blue, brown emerald and black work well alongside the colour beige. For those looking to inject a pop of colour into their kitchen or wanting to ‘mix it up’, pink can be combined with brown, mint green, olive or even turquoise to create a modern style with a twist.
Redecorating your kitchen can often feel like a minefield, but once you have identified a focal point, each of the elements will begin to fall into place – just remember to use small kitchen spaces to your advantage and don’t be afraid to insert an impactful colour into the design!
