First things, first. Let\u2019s chat about the major things you need to keep in mind while putting together a kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Overall Design <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe first thing to do is pick an overall design. For most of you, this will be the part of the process which is a lot of fun. The reason why? You can let your imagination run rampant, and at this point, you\u2019re in the early stages of creating your design so excitement is high, and stress is low. While we\u2019ll provide myriad design schemes that can be used with pictures of kitchens that will inspire you, let\u2019s go over a few of the main styles for you now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Traditional: <\/strong>This style is rooted in deep color<\/a> palettes, darker wood finishes, and what we consider ornate detailing \u2013 think rich velvety ottomans or stained-glass windows. <\/li>
- Modern: <\/strong>This is the most common design palette, and one that can be seen in those white kitchens you repined on Pinterest. It\u2019s defined by sleek finishes, openness, and simplistic detailing. <\/li>
- Industrial: <\/strong>Think urban loft in a hip area of a metropolitan area, and you will have industrial. This style is encompassed by an \u201cunfinished look\u201d and has grittier details. Most commonly used elements are metal or unfinished wood. <\/li>
- Farmhouse: <\/strong>This is a trending style in the design world, and one that has made way for a sub-type, Modern Farmhouse. It has an overall clean aesthetic likened to modern design but uses natural texturing from light wood to warm the space up and keeps an earthy color tone. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
2. Keep Messes in Mind <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAnother main point of focus should go to messes. If you live in a home with kids, or you\u2019re someone who gets really into cooking with splashes being more than occasional<\/em>, it probably won\u2019t suit you to spend money on real marble. Stone is an amazing tile for your kitchen floor, only if you have the time for upkeep \u2013 sealing and resealing as needed. It is prone to staining if it’s not well maintained. In that case, you would be better fitted for a marble-look porcelain (or porcelain in general) which is durable and low maintenance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n3. Cabinetry \/ Counter-tops<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe third and final step to have in the back of your mind when designing a kitchen is the cabinetry and counter-tops that will be used. You don\u2019t want things mismatching, right? To do this, you can simply figure out the finish and material for each of the two then compare tile samples against them to see how things are working out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
