Bold kitchen designs can transform boring and outdated spaces, but they can also become overwhelming for daily use. The keys to making a livable statement kitchen are restraint and consideration of the function of eye-catching features. Choose just one or two of the following ideas for outstanding kitchen designs that make a strong but coherent statement.
Bright colors can be too much for an entire wall or floor of a kitchen since the room is used so much. But colorful cabinets make a strong statement without taking over the whole space with their bold appearance. Try a bright color for painted or enameled cabinets and a neutral wall and floor color to bring life into any room. If a full block of bright red or blue cabinets seems like too much still, consider just brightly colored cabinet doors or confining those shades to a section of countertop.
Faucets are often designed to blend into the rest of the décor rather than to stand out boldly as the kitchen’s centerpiece. The wall-mounted bridge kitchen faucet is an excellent choice for making it more visible and treating it as a statement piece. These traditional faucets look artistically retro in modern kitchens and like a natural choice for those who prefer classic styles. Choose from a wide range of bridge-style kitchen faucets to find the perfect wall-mounted design to draw the eye to the sink area. Consider a secondary faucet like a water filler as well to expand the family’s options for using the space.
Colorful, artistic, or unique tiles are always a good way to make a statement. Add a backsplash to keep it refined, or go all out with a whole floor full of hand-painted designs. Tile continues to evolve today, with foil-backed glass and resin-embedded materials giving homeowners options they’ve never had before.
Pre-rinse faucets originated in commercial kitchens and restaurants, but they’re available for home use now. These designs feature high-powered sprayers mounted at the end of an extra-long and flexible reinforced neck. It’s easy to spray down the largest pots, pans, and appliances while using an extra-large or deep sink.
Finally, lighting can make or break a kitchen trying to create a specific statement. Chandeliers, hanging pendant lights, and adjustable modern track lights all make a significant impact in the kitchen. Consider the height of the ceilings and what kind of lighting is needed most at the workstations before making any specific choices.
