1. CONSIDER "INVISIBLE" KITCHEN STORAGE
If you're remodeling a kitchen and are wondering how to make the space look always clean, neat and organized, a great way to do so is with concealed storage, that has a seamless exterior. By blending all the cabinets together in a single material, you can make the room look elevated and sophisticated.
2. OPT FOR MULTIPLE ISLANDS
Not only do kitchen islands create a centerpiece for your space, and offer extra prepping, chopping, or cooking space, but they also offer more storage opportunities. If you have a large enough kitchen, consider multiple islands that will give the room a grand look, and allow you to store several supplies and miscellaneous things inside them.
3. CHOOSE THE RIGHT FINISH
'Creating that wow factor in a kitchen is all about the materials you use and the finishes,' says Katie Paulsen, interior designer at Maestri Studio. 'Are you using matte or glossy for your paint sheens and your metal finishes? Are you utilizing honed or polished textures with your countertops and tiles?'
4. GO FOR BACKLIT CABINETS
Let your kitchen storage be a feature, and the focal point in this room with kitchen cabinet lighting. With a backlit cabinet, you can give an elegant touch to the room, and display your best kitchen decor, as in this home designed by Brazil-based NJ+ Architects.
5. CHOOSE TEXTURED DOORS
'One of the biggest tips I always share with my clients is to be inspired by nature, particularly when it comes to the finishes of large-scale architectural elements, like cabinets or flooring,' says New York Brownstone interior designer Jarret Yoshida. 'In particular, wood in natural colors and finishes is a winner that evokes luxury, nature, and calmness on a scale.'
6. GO FOR BESPOKE CORNER CABINETS
A great way to use your kitchen's dead space is with corner kitchen cabinets. In fact, choose a bespoke design that works well with the overall look of the home, and adds extra functionality to the room while hiding an ignored spot.
