New Kitchen Design

I feel that kitchen design can be so cookie cutter these days. Every house features the same white cabinets, dark wood floors, marble style countertops and nickel hardware. I love how this homeowner didn’t use those typical kitchen cabinet ideas. Instead, they chose beautiful rustic pine units that blend perfectly with the unique look of the rest of their home. We have a similar decor scheme in our house and I am now inspired to bring elements of this same look to our new kitchen design.  

There is nothing I like better than a fabulous modern kitchen design inside a more traditional style home. I think the stark contrast between classical exterior architecture and unexpected contemporary flare throughout the interior provides fantastic design interest.  When we were looking for kitchen remodel ideas to revamp our outdated space, we were attracted to this blend of traditional and contemporary elements.  We selected sleek espresso cabinetry with edgy polished nickel hardware to pair alongside classic marble countertops.  Then the cool grey and white paint palette on inset paneled ceiling rounded out the new kitchen design. 

This beautiful modern space is a great inspiration if you are looking for a new kitchen design. The designer combined neutral granite countertops and floor alongside modern kitchen cabinets and more traditional architecture in the paneled ceiling and fireplace surround. The unique contemporary feel of the space is accentuated by the decorative range hood and under counter lighting, bold stainless steel accents and frosted glass. You could easily translate these kitchen remodel ideas into your own home by selecting simple dark cabinetry accented by modern style metal hardware paired with simple solid surface counter tops and a neutral color palette. Keep the backdrop and then bring pops of color into your new kitchen design as they did with bold art, floor textiles and frosted glass elements.

I have been searching for new kitchen design inspiration and I think this is it. I love how the designer blended a number of kitchen styles into a single room. There are very traditional elements like classic brass hardware and light fixtures, black marble countertops,  and beautiful panelled white cabinetry. These are paired alongside fun contemporary elements like pink leather chairs in the breakfast nook and bold stainless steal appliances. I am going to incorporate these elements alongside small kitchen ideas to redesign our outdated space. By adding dark solid surface countertops to my existing white cabinets and switching out hardware I can create a similar backdrop. Then I will bring in bold pops of the pink color through my furniture textiles and artwork. 

A major kitchen renovation is one of my favorite projects to take on. There are so many possibilities to really transform a space while upgrading the look and functionality of a home. When I am preparing a new kitchen design, my first question is always “how does the homeowner use the space?” For some families, the kitchen is the heart of the home where everybody gathers at the end of the day. For others, the kitchen is rarely used and does not require a ton of storage or functionality.  In this beautiful white kitchen renovation, the homeowners wanted to create an open floorplan with added seating for guests, as well as plenty of cabinet storage.  We chose a sleek white kitchen cabinet design that combined both a traditional panelled look with contemporary lines.

Beautiful cabinetry is the cornerstone of any new kitchen design.  Today’s most popular home decor trends feature beautiful white kitchen designs with dark wood floors and marble countertops. I love how this designer incorporated traditional paneled kitchen cabinets and crown molding alongside an extremely modern solid surface island surround.  This unexpected blend of styles is continued into the decorative accents.  The unique contemporary pine stools are a fun contrast against the dark espresso floors, and the sleek globe light fixtures round out the edgy modern decor scheme.
