100 Best Kitchen Design Ideas for Your Home

This dining nook set off of the kitchen features sneaky storage in the form of drawers underneath the banquette. They hold entertaining must-haves like extra napkins and serving pieces without crowding the already full cabinetry. Paneled appliances are a great way to combine form and function—you’ll never have to worry about fingerprints smudging your stainless steel fridge again. If you’re trying to land on a harmonious color scheme for your kitchen, look no further than the color wheel.

Bright white cabinets and trim and lots of natural light create a sense of openness and oak hardwood floors warm up the space and play off the warm tones of the copper furniture. A white subway tile backsplash extends up to the ceiling, creating a timeless backdrop for this two-toned kitchen. A polished chrome wall sconce adds a decorative detail and an extra light source but also helps tie in the cabinet hardware. Mix midcentury and farmhouse elements to create a current but timeless feel.

Wow with windows and glass-front cabinets

If you need to replace your kitchen floors and want to choose a finish that will stand the test of time, choose classic black-and-white checkerboard floor tiles, like this space from Erin Williamson Design. A compact kitchen island with built-in storage will add functionality and help define zones in a small space, like this highrise open-plan kitchen from Forbes + Masters. Match your countertops and backsplash in the same slab marble and finish it off with a matching wall-to-wall display shelf for a sleek modern look, like this New York City kitchen from Sissy + Marley Interior Design. This approach will make a large kitchen feel airy or make a smaller one feel more spacious. From the lantern-style pendant to the distressed wood kitchen island, this bright kitchen has country chic written all over it. Complete your decor with wood serving boards, glass jars and vintage buckets.
