Kitchen design choices can be difficult to make but there are some safe, classic design elements that you can’t go wrong with.
- Hardwood flooring: Wood floors look great, are durable, and make a home cozy and inviting. They are a smart choice since they are so durable, especially maple, oak and ash. They typically have a 100 year old life and they can be refinished about 10 times.
- Carrara marble countertops: Carrara is an excellent choice for counters because it’s timeless, beautiful, and will last forever. Although it can stain easily, if it’s properly sealed twice a year there
shouldn’t be an issue. Carrara is also typically less expensive than other choices such as quartz. - White: White kitchens have always been in style. They are light and bright and can make a cramped kitchen appear larger. The great thing about a white space is you can keep it mainly white and neutral or you can add pops of color where you want. Brightly colored cabinet knobs and open shelving displaying colorful dishes are just some ways to add color and personality to the room.
- Plentiful storage: Homeowners store more in their kitchens now than ever. Kitchens used to be small rooms typically found in the back of the home instead of the heart of the home like they frequently are now. Having storage and plenty of it is very important and something that you won’t regret. Many cabinets now adapt to fit pots, pans, lids, and baking sheets with ease. Kitchen islands can also be open on one side to provide extra shelving and storage.
