Do you wish you had an entirely new kitchen without changing houses? Getting your wish isn’t all that difficult. You can redesign your available space into a brand new kitchen that is both beautiful and efficient. The way to achieve this goal is to be bold in your approach to kitchen design and think beyond the traditional borders. Following are some bold ideas in kitchen design that will help you turn your boring kitchen into an expressive masterpiece.
Make Your Kitchen Sing
When you sit down to plan your new kitchen design, envision an atmosphere that isn’t simply pleasing, but one that sings and grabs attention. The kitchen has become the very soul of most homes and, therefore, needs to express a deep warmth and comfort as well as exert a vibrant energy that makes family and friends want to hang out in the space.
To make your kitchen sing, think of how to obtain the best effect through a vibrant flow of visually aesthetic and functional capability throughout your new kitchen cabinets, counter tops, appliances, nooks, bars and islands. Then top it all off by incorporating unusual items into the design that stand out yet accent the entire look of the kitchen.
Effectively Use Cabinets
When considering cabinets for your bold, new kitchen design, ensure that you utilize the space wisely. Don’t leave space at the tops of your cabinets, but rather take them all the way up to the ceiling.
Space atop cabinets has two major draw backs. First of all, it is a waste of good storage space which is always an important aspect to consider. You can never have enough storage space and if you ever intend to sell your home then having ample kitchen cabinet storage space is a big selling point. Secondly, that extra space above kitchen cabinets only acts to draw dirt and dust which are not good to have in an area where cleanliness is desired for food preparation.
Conceal with Cabinets
Another bold kitchen remodel move is to better utilize the space as well as improve the aesthetic appearance by placing various appliances in the kitchen behind kitchen cabinet doors. Shiny appliances are initially nice to look at, but having too much shine and stainless steel in the kitchen can lead to overkill.
To strike the right balance between wood and steel, hide some appliances behind cabinet doors which can be opened for easy access to the appliances and then closed to return the kitchen to its unique state of beauty. Dishwashers, ovens, and even clothes washers and dryers can be successfully stashed out of site behind custom kitchen cabinets.
