Designing a kitchen or remodeling a kitchen can be done on a small or large scale. Adding décor and accessories to your kitchen would align with the smaller scale projects where as replacing appliances, updating fixtures and adding new styles would certainly lean toward larger projects. Adding an accent color can be done with paint, décor or fixtures. You can add a bright pop of color through paint or a subtle color through fixtures. Kingston has kitchen accessories in many finishes to pair with your accent color or to faucets, sinks and more to update in a new finish.

Paint Accents

A unique color can be added into your kitchen cabinets for a creative yet stunning design. Kitchen cabinets can be painted as a DIY project with plenty of knowledge on how to execute it. They can also be painted by professionals which may be a more efficient way to have your cabinets done quickly and if the budget allows. Choosing a paint color should certainly be the most important decision because it should contrast well off of the rest of the houses style. A couple of options in choosing the color is grabbing paint samples from your local hardware or painting store or doing some online research. Pinterest is a great tool for identifying paint colors and how they look in different lights and designs. Incorporating your accent color through paint is a great way to really add a pop of color to your kitchen.

Fixture Finishes

Your kitchen’s fixtures can tie together your design and style. Faucets and kitchen accessories can have matching finishes or can be mixed. It is seen more often that finishes do match to create a specific design but mixing finishes looks great as well. Kitchen accessories such as pot fillers, water filtration faucets and sink drains can be found in a variety of finish options such as polished chrome, nickel, matte black, bronze and brass. Utilizing any of these finishes for your fixture will ensure longtime design while adding warm or cool colors to your kitchen.

Kitchen Decor

Incorporating decorative pieces into your kitchen can add a hint of your personality into the design. Shelving in the kitchen is always a convenient yet fun décor piece because objects such as plants and decorative dishes can be showcased upon them. Shelving does require specific installation which may be done DIY or through a professional. Plants surrounding the sink area or flowers on display bring a natural feel into the kitchen and also a pop of color. Hand towels are another great accessory that is also convenient for drying hands while looking stylish. There are an abundance of décor options for your kitchen but these are some of the relatively more convenient ones while adding dimension and charm to your kitchen.
