A black-and-white contrasting color scheme offers timeless appeal. Consider using pure white surfaces to expand the room, while relying on dark countertops to make a sophisticated statement. Dark countertops are also a practical choice for hiding potential debris stains.

Experiment With Patterns and Textures

Varying patterns and textures are superb kitchen ideas for remodeling, especially for traditional interiors where decorative touches are welcome. Mix and match your curtains and tiled backsplash for an eye-catching impact. Consider keeping the cabinets and countertops neutral so the patterns aren’t overwhelming.  

Abundant Lighting for Your Kitchen Remodel

A straight line of long and narrow pendant lights draws the eye and gives your kitchen an overall larger appearance. If this decorative light display doesn’t provide sufficient task lighting, consider adding recessed lights in the ceiling to accomplish food prep with ease.

Small Kitchen Remodel Idea: Open Shelving

Along with cabinets and drawers, consider open shelving to store and display dishes. You can use a mix of cool and warm tones for your dishes to add a playful element to your kitchen remodel.  

Create a Wall Niche for Decoration and Storage

Extra storage is always a plus, especially in a compact space. A recessed niche in the kitchen wall offers space for storing dishes and displaying decorations without detracting from the room.  

Consider installing a Brushed Nickel kitchen faucet to your island to add a soft gleam.

Choose Cool Tones for a Soothing Environment

Perhaps your ideal kitchen design is somewhere between warm farmhouse and modern monochrome. Since cooking can be a terrific way to decompress, consider shades of blue and green to add a sense of calm to your culinary oasis. Pistachio green cabinets and dark blue marble countertops pair beautifully with the golden sheen of Unlacquered Brass kitchen hardware.

Kitchen Remodel Idea With Island Storage
