I love these Kitchen designs so I am sure you will too. When you have your own home, you spend so much time in your kitchen. So you want it to be a place that you love and feel relaxed in. It is your place to be creative with food and also somewhere that you chill out with friends over a bottle of wine. So you really need it to be one of those kitchen designs that you will love to be in. We wanted to give you some great ideas to make your kitchen a room to absolutely fall in love with.
How To Choose Your Perfect Kitchen
A new kitchen is quite an expense and a big project to do. So you need to make sure that you choose the right kitchen because you are going to live with it for the next few years at least. There are so many ideas of how you can have your kitchen designed. And once you have your new kitchen put in, you can make it your own by adding personal touches. Here are some awesome ideas for you.
Rustic Kitchens
If you are looking for something different from the usual modern kitchen look, then a rustic kitchen is a good look to go for. Rustic kitchens bring the outside into your home and they make it feel more homely. These kinds of kitchens are perfect for farmhouses and cottages, but they would look out of place in a modern home. Pots and pans hanging from the kitchen look fantastic in a rustic kitchen as well as copper pots and pans.
Marble Kitchens
There are so many reasons for you to choose a kitchen with marble worktops. They are easy to clean with mild soap and warm water but use baking soda for more extreme stains. They make a kitchen look so much bigger than it actually is and marble worktops can stand extreme heat. So you can put your hot plates and pans on there.
Marble is so beautiful on worktops and it gives an elegant look to your kitchen. Marble is a good investment because it lasts for a long time.
Small Kitchens
If you have a small kitchen, you need to think about space. White kitchens will make the kitchen look and feel bigger to start with. But you need to think about how you have the cupboards and drawers too. Saucepan drawers work really well and try not to clutter the worktops with things.
Having a small kitchen can be difficult and sometimes depressing. They can feel claustrophobic, but you can make the kitchen feel bigger by adding mirrors as the backsplash, this will make the kitchen look bigger to start with. Plenty of natural light will help the kitchen feel bigger, as well as choosing compact appliances like a compact dishwasher.
Mediterranean Kitchen
Mediterranean kitchens remind you of holidays that you have been on in the past. Decorate kitchen tiles and walls with Mediterranean style wallpaper and tiles. Use as many odd ones as you can for an authentic look. Decorate in copper colours and blues. Low lighting is a good addition to a Mediterranean kitchen, with soft light bulbs. Add some Mediterranean ornaments and splashes of bold colours like red or green.
Bold Kitchen
Bold colours are awesome. They show personality and make for a fun kitchen. Bold cupboard doors with contrasting wallpaper look great. The bold colour gives a clean-cut kitchen and it can be followed through to other rooms. You can buy utensils and small appliances to match the bold kitchen design. Finish the look with some equally bold flooring.
Fun Kitchens
Fun kitchens show off your personality and fun side. Add neon signs to the walls and funny pictures. Quirky little kitchen decorations and kitchen utensils. 1950’s American diners are great sources of inspiration. You can watch Grease for some great ideas for fun kitchens.
Wooden Kitchens
Wooden kitchens have been around since the beginning of time, but they look so much better these days. Gone are the big clumpy pine cupboard doors. Nowadays they are sleek, shaker style kitchens. You can use double pine like the photo and mix it with white walls and worktops.
Wood kitchens come in so many different colours from dark woods to white wood. Darker wood kitchens will give more of a country look. Whereas lighter woods will give a brighter airy look to your kitchen. Consider shaker doors made to measure, which can complement both dark and light wood kitchens with their classic design and customisable options.
Scandinavian Kitchens
Scandinavian kitchens are minimalist, clean and chic. There isn’t anything flamboyant about them or dramatic. They are simple workable kitchens. They have got more popular over recent years as more people choose to go for this design. Scandinavian kitchens are designed to be workable and practical for people.
