The kitchen is a very important part of the home. Meals are prepared in it and, no doubt, good food is essential. That notwithstanding, the choice of décor for your kitchen is as vital as the food you prepare in it. Your kitchen should have an inviting ambience. Tiny details like the type of faucet used by your kitchen sink can make a wealth of difference in its look and feel. Here are a few tips to guide you in decorating your modern kitchen:
The Walls
The walls of any kitchen add to its beauty. Walls can either be tiled or not tiled. Should you go for the option of tiling your walls, you’d do well to select beautifully-patterned tiles to line your walls. Floral patterns or tiny boxes may do the trick here. And if you aren’t going with tiles, you could opt for wall papers and for people of means, put one or two works of art at strategic corners.
The Floors
The floor is another key part of your kitchen which gives you plenty of opportunity to achieve that modern kitchen look. The choice of flooring, whether it’s terrazzo or tiles, should be appealing. Factor in the type of tiles used on your wall if your wall is tiled and make certain to invest in tiles that fit the ones on your wall. You do not want your kitchen to be a messy mismatch of tiles. Also opt for something that can easily be cleaned in the event of a spill, which happens more often than not in the kitchen.
The Counter, Cupboard and Island
A very distinctive feature of every modern kitchen is this trio – Counter, Cupboard and Island (the counter at the middle of a kitchen). In addition to their storage function, the Counter, Cupboard and Island give you the opportunity to add colour and a touch of originality to your kitchen decor design. Traditional kitchens were mainly brown/wooden colour tones but modern kitchen take the route of colour, lots of it. There are various gorgeous coloured panels used in the the design of panels for the counter, cupboard & Island and if you are looking to have a colourful kitchen, this gives you a lot of room to achieve that.
Also, you may put a flower vase, with flowers, on your Counter table top and Island. Rubber fruits in a fancy bowl, or even real fruits, will also breathe life into your kitchen. You may also position chandeliers above the counter table or dining table; this overall enhances the look and feel of your kitchen. Moreover, there’s something regal about chandeliers.
