4 Easy Ways to Show Off Your Kitchen
STYLISH COUNTERTOPS
Although quartz is trendy, highly veined marble is making a comeback in the design world. Veined marble is extremely long-lasting, durable, and a true classic. The prominent veining provides visual impact and generates textural contrast.
If you want to be more creative, use a basic countertop and make a statement with a distinctive backsplash that contrasts with other polished surfaces, metals, and woods.
DARK DRAMA
Black walls, cabinets, and work surfaces are having a dramatic moment, so wave goodbye to conventional all-white kitchens. Black has the power to make a comfortable, luxurious, and appealing atmosphere. This year, the farmhouse is out and glam is in, especially when combined with an art deco touch.
Black is showing up in dramatic quartzite patterns on countertops and backsplashes, and it’s amplified by gold accent hardware and lighting. Online searches for black ceiling lights have increased, and they provide a classy touch to any kitchen.
STATEMENT LIGHTING
The days of the classic pendant lights are long gone! Kitchens of all sizes may benefit from a really unusual or contemporary item. Lighting in the shape of a globe or a sphere, which may be both vintage and modern, has been a popular choice.
Skip the light covers and go for unobstructed glass pendants if you want a lot of brilliant light over the food prep area. Double up with two pendants to truly go all out and liven up bigger kitchen islands.
MAXIMALIST AND MINIMALIST SHELVING
Kitchenware is no longer hidden behind locked doors in drawers and cabinets. The kitchen has genuinely evolved into a space where we can disconnect from our digital lives and be surrounded by personal treasures and home comforts. Keep it basic with one open shelf for displaying kitchen things, or simplify it with a sea of white dishes for the minimalist.
Use properly placed artwork, colorful pottery, cookbooks, and even some plants if you want to go for the maximalist look. Have some fun with this idea: Make it seasonal or switch it up every now and again to get your own Instagram-worthy “shelfie” shots!
