In a Brooklyn townhouse designed by Civilian, the kitchen was relocated to the parlor level. Inspired by commercial kitchens, the steel frame island is given a luxury upgrade with an Arrabescatto marble top. A custom hood in red laminate adds a color pop to the neutral space. Make your kitchen the centerpiece of your home with open shelving and cozy colors. The warm, sage green cabinets in this country kitchen pair well with natural elements, including exposed ceiling beams, a collection of cutting boards, and a jute runner. Crisp shiplap paneling and copper dishware finish the classic design.

- Designing a kitchen isn’t just about working out a kitchen layout that fits the space – kitchen planning needs to run around how you use the room, too.

Without heavy window treatments, sunlight has no trouble streaming into this kitchen.

Matte black hardware ties in well with the drama of the backsplash and coordinates with the modern kitchen countertops. Classiccheckerboard marble floorsare incapable of feeling stuffy when paired with sunflower-yellow walls.
Allow the Space to Stand Out
The trend for kitchens to be larger, to be an open space that incorporates some form of living zone, encourages décor with curtains or blinds, and perhaps even a sofa and cushions. Hardworking and high-functioning, kitchens have generally focused on easy-to-clean surfaces but there is nothing to say these have to be plain. Approached with care, kitchens can prove surprisingly receptive to some decorative interest, with a range of kitchen art ideas to choose from. Kitchen interior design should never be overlooked – and can be easily introduced into a space with pattern. In this scheme by interior designer Anna Spiro, the same paisley print is used on the walls and the chairs to link the areas.
- Bare wooden cabinets look lovely combined with painted ones, and different colors work well too.
- They work particularly well in this light and bright kitchen extension – bringing color and texture into what would otherwise be quite a traditional kitchen.
- So, if you want to create a timeless kitchen, consider choosing a neutral colour palette that will stand the test of time.
- The ability to try out various layouts to find out what truly works reduces the pressure to get your kitchen right first time.
- Investing a little extra in beveled countertop edges instead of straight, inset rather than overlay cabinets, and ornate vent grates will make a big difference.
