So you want to completely redo your kitchen, but you don’t know where to start. A good first step is to pick a specific style you want your kitchen (and your lifestyle!) to reflect, and then go from there. This way, all of the pieces you select will fit into one consistent image perfectly. Here are a few kitchen styles to provide you with some inspiration:
Contemporary
As the name suggests, the contemporary kitchen style reflects today’s trends. This style is marked by minimalism, eco-friendliness, technological advancement, and a clean look. Think flat-front cabinetry, sleek fixtures, and wooden accents. To truly embrace the 20th century, consider investing in “smart” kitchen gadgets like coffeemakers and refrigerators that connect to the Internet.
Modern
Originating around the time of the first World War, modern-style kitchens remain very popular. This type of kitchen is marked by flat surfaces, striking geometric forms, and little to no ornamentation or decorations. Modern kitchen cabinets will have a sleek look and won’t have any visible hardware.
Farmhouse
Looking to recreate the magic of your grandma’s kitchen, or step inside the pages of Little House on the Prairie? Sounds like the farmhouse kitchen style is right for you. Try out apron-front sinks, plaid curtains and kitchen towels, bronze faucets, oak ceiling beams, and white cabinets with cute, oversized hardware. A farmhouse kitchen is sure to add a sense of warmth and comfort to your home.
Scandinavian
Try this sleek and elegant, yet scaled back look. The hallmark of a Scandinavian-style kitchen is warm wood flooring and cabinetry, minimalist yet textured backsplash, and sleek stools. A blend of textures and soft hues will ensure your home looks clean, happy and inviting.
Industrial
An industrial-style kitchen is characterized by wide open space and exposed brick, piping and beams. If you want to create this type of kitchen in your home, use the color gray whenever possible, keep the design simple, and prioritize open space as much as you can.
