Home Maker: 31 Beautiful interior design ideas for your kitchen
Smart and chic space-saving ideas for decorating one of the most important spaces in your home.
5 Things to consider if you want to renovate your kitchen:
Embrace minimalism
The trend is all the rage now, and for good reason. A simple kitchen means less clutter and less cleaning involved! Don’t worry, this doesn’t mean a kitchen devoid of style and character. Try accenting the space with exposed concrete, industrial elements, and naked light bulbs to keep things interesting.
Neutral colours are timeless
When in doubt, always go neutral, especially if you feel like you might renovate the kitchen yet again in the future. A neutral colour palette will be easier to work with. It is also easy on the eyes and will match with any other furniture you might decide to introduce to the house.
Let in the sunshine
Kitchens shrouded in darkness are no fun. If possible, install big windows unhindered by metal frames that take up all the space. Let in as much natural light as possible! Not only will this keep the mould away (no more dark corners), wider windows mean better ventilation when you need it.
A bold colour theme
One colour to rule them all. You may have seen interiors that feature a single strong colour amidst a relatively neutral palette, such as strong reds against white furniture. If the rest of your house already follows such a design pattern, play up the character! Have some coloured panelling, or spruce up your cabinets and drawers.
Wood vs. Granite
For a more countryside feel, embrace wood tones, wooden bench tops and cupboards, natural wood tables and stools, wood centrepieces. For a more modern feel, try granite or marble tops and stick to a monochrome colour palette to keep things sleek.
