When you look around your kitchen, what do you see? Do you see a version of what you love, or does it seem to be lacking in some way or another?
If your kitchen seems to be lacking, there are plenty of things that you can do to make it look amazing.
1. Choose Minimalism
Sometimes all you need to do is take everything out that you do not need in this space and it will look better than ever before. Clear off those countertops and create a simple look that will be timeless in more ways than one.
2. Install a Bold Pattern on the Floor
No one has ever said that the focal point of a kitchen needs to be the island or the cabinets. We recommend going bold on the floor with patterned tiles, to create an amazing custom kitchen that stands out from all the rest.
3. Go Multi-Task with Your Island
Boring islands are a thing of the past, which is why we recommend multi-tasking with yours. Create a meal prep, dining area, and book shelf with your island and reap the rewards with its multi-uses. While you can have an island custom-made with these features, you can also create your own with old bookcases, dressers, and a fancy new countertop.
4. Add an Herb Garden
There is nothing wrong with wanting to use fresh herbs in your meals year-round, which is why we suggest bringing your herb garden inside. Add a few potted herbs around your kitchen or carve a niche in one spot with bright light to keep your herbs in one place.
5. Go Unique with Your Island Stools
The stools in your kitchen will really stand out, even if they are pushed all the way in, so we recommend that you choose ones that are unique and make a statement. Your options are endless and all you need to do is make sure that the ones that you purchase will match your new décor.
6. Go Bold on the Walls
If you choose to keep your flooring toned down, then you may want to add a little extra color to your walls. While you can paint them all a bold color, you may want to begin with an accent wall at first to see how it looks.
These six design ideas will help get you started in designing your custom kitchen, but there are hundreds of other ideas that will tempt you just as much. As you are going through this process, we recommend finding what you love and what you hate and then design your new space with only the things that you love the most.
