Colorful Kitchen Design Ideas

Even though white kitchens are still the mainstream because they are clean-lined and safe for anyone who is afraid of using color, bold and colorful cooking spaces seem to have made a major comeback. Most of us are used to decorating our favorite social space with a neutral color palette, but adding a splash of color can make the heart of the home feel bright and cheery. The kitchen sets the stage for the quality of life enjoyed in the home, as not only a place to gather together for a meal but for before and after.  It should harmoniously connect with the entire home, reflecting the style and personality of the inhabitants. It is in the details that create that personal statement of style, with the basic ingredients being the appliances and cabinets, which should specifically be selected to fit the design style of the home. Hues such as red, bright green and yellow may not be what you would expect to see in the food-prep areas, but that’s exactly why they can elevate a kitchen beyond the ordinary. Whether they are applied to the entire room, or limited to a vibrant backsplash, they can also help personalize your cooking space. If you are wishing to infuse your kitchen with color but don’t know where to start, take a look at this inspiring collection of colorful kitchens that we have gathered for you with their neon countertops, brightly colored cabinetry, and incredible backsplashes and you might just get the motivation you need to start experimenting with color in your own home.

Small Kitchen Design Ideas

by | Apr 2, 2015 | Design Trends & Ideas

You want to transform your small and compact kitchen into a dream kitchen but you’re unsure of where to start? The reality is, most of us are tight on space and although large and spacious kitchens are every chef’s dream, sometimes space constraints will not work with us to create these types of kitchens. Even though you may have a smaller space, that doesn’t mean that you cannot still create a beautiful kitchen. This stunning urban kitchen in is a cool Ikea design that transforms a kitchen into aesthetically pleasing yet functional design. Ideally the kitchen work triangle would be a great guide in your kitchen, which is meant to create efficiency, yet if you have a single wall kitchen, it is impossible to achieve. Just be sure to pay close attention to each and every measurement when setting up your kitchen workspace— a few inches can make a big difference, especially in small kitchens. In a small kitchen, the reality is skimpy counter space, a cramped work triangle and precious little space for appliances. If you are not ready, or willing to knock down walls to create more space for your kitchen, you can do the next best thing: create the impression of a larger space with a few strategic decorating tricks. The problem of creating a fabulous kitchen simply comes down to what you can fit and where. In order to create efficient kitchen design in a small kitchen, you need to work on three major areas: storage, lighting and appliances. Small kitchens may appear to be a design challenge, but they can also be functional, stunning...
The Kitchen Backsplash – How to Combine Art with Functionality

The Kitchen Backsplash – How to Combine Art with Functionality

by | Mar 20, 2015 | Tile & Mosaic

The kitchen backsplash started life as a practical and useful idea and evolved into something that could arguably be termed ‘kitchen art’. There are so many choices and ways to fashion a backsplash that choosing one, may seem overwhelming at first. While selecting a backsplash it is very useful to understand what type of backsplash products and materials are available, and how to use them. Most of us associate ’tile’ with a kitchen backsplash, but you might be surprised at what else is available. You can have a backsplash that is permanent or temporary, tile or metal, pre-made or custom manufactured. But before you make a decision, be sure to think through all considerations, so that your choice of backsplash will be right choice for now and several years down the road. Kitchen Backsplash Ideas and Styles Kitchen backsplash ideas run the gamut from simple to elaborate with all kinds of styles in between. Tile is the really common and versatile choice but isn’t the only show in town. So where do you start? One way to get a handle on narrowing down your choice for the perfect kitchen backsplash is to break down the infinite realm of backsplash ideas into some manageable categories. From these categories, or types you can decide what ideas strike your fancy and then run off and explore the options. This is no “official” list and there may be some overlap here but it should help you sort out and hone in on your favorite “types” of kitchen backsplash ideas. Tile Tile backsplashes are the mainstay of kitchen decorating, offering limitless design options and...
