Kitchens aren't just for cooking! They are the heart of the home where families gather and life is celebrated. The kitchen should make you happy and act as a fresh space in your home to begin and end your day. As you scroll through these gorgeous kitchens, I hope you are inspired to create a space that not only functions well for your family for years to come, but is also creative and harmonizes with the rest of your home. Take note of the pops of color you see, including painted cabinets, wallpaper, unique flooring, accessories, or simple touches of greenery - a little fresh thinking goes a long way. From farmhouse style to modern and moody, there's something here for everyone.

Add Glass Cabinet Doors

Adding glass opens up your space by creating a light and airy mood and what a wonderful way to show off your collections of dishes. I also love how the homeowner incorporated an antique table in lieu of an island.

Incorporate Natural Elements

Using wood accents in a renovated kitchen is like combining the past and the present. Natural wood feels warm and inviting making it especially nice in a space that's the center of the home. Go outside the norm and add beams to your kitchen area!

Design A Fresh Farmhouse Look

Design ideas such as open shelving gives you the opportunity to showcase your beautiful china. An all white kitchen can be the perfect backdrop for pops of color in unexpected places, not to mention all-white is an on-trend layout and will be for years to come.

Set The Mood 

There’s nothing edgier than a bold black color on your island and cabinetry. When going with a statement color like this one, accessorize the rest of the space with whites, golds, and natural elements for a classic look.

Mix Patterns And Colors

 Choosing to mix colors and patterns is a brave decision and  can be easier said than done. It is achievable, though, with a little planning with a mood board. Blacks, whites, greens and blues have never looked better together. Adding an antique rug and traditional floral wallpaper can make your kitchen feel unique.

Focus On The Floor

When it comes to floor design, there are hundreds of ways to go. Whether you choose a patterned tile, a decorative stain, or a bright and bold color, the floor is part of the fun! Keep in mind, kitchen floors work overtime being the most-used floor in the house, so make sure you choose the right material for the job!

Create An Airy Space With Open Shelving

Have fun when it comes to open shelving - stack your dishes and add items that bring personality to the space. Another benefit to open shelves is that you'll end up using your dishes so much more than if they were tucked in the back of a closed off space.
