Top 10: The Most Inspiring Kitchens Weve Seen This Season
The kitchen – often overlooked as just another room in the house – is actually where some of life’s most cherished moments unfold. It’s more than just a space for cooking and meal prep; it’s the heart of every home, beating with warmth and love. And that’s why we’ve curated 10 stunning kitchen decor ideas to show you how to give your spring a stylish makeover!
In Black
The latest kitchen trend to emerge is the adoption of a sleek black color palette. Following the popularity of white, green, and navy blue kitchens, black has taken center stage, bringing with it an air of sophistication. One of its most striking features is how well it complements wood accents, often used in kitchen design, creating a harmonious blend.
Furthermore, black provides a stunning backdrop for high-end accessories like golden faucets, handles, or marble countertops, adding an extra layer of elegance to the overall space.
Open
As the eye is drawn to the seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces, the focus shifts from the unorthodox layout to the stunning design elements within the kitchen. The bold combination of black cabinets, countertops, and pendant lights creates a moody atmosphere that’s anything but ordinary. This unexpected twist on traditional kitchen aesthetics proves that embracing darker tones can result in a truly show-stopping space.
Light Farmhouse
The allure of Farmhouse style kitchens is undeniable, and this particular design takes it to new heights. The seamless integration of natural wooden elements throughout the space – from the floorboards to the ceiling beams – instantly evokes the warmth and charm of a rustic rural ranch. This timeless yet universal kitchen design effortlessly blends simplicity with elegance, making it both a familiar and captivating sight.
Eclectic
Nina Freudenberger, an expert in her field, offers a thought-provoking perspective on the use of dark colors in kitchen design. According to the interior designer, dark hues can bring warmth and depth to even the most modern kitchens, making them a viable alternative to traditional white or gray schemes.
This philosophy is put into practice in Roberts’ own English Tudor-style home, where Freudenberger has successfully combined seemingly disparate styles – including Farmhouse, Royal Glamour, as exemplified by the striking crystal chandelier, and minimalist modern pieces found in the dining room.
Wallpapered
In a PR Maven’s New York City apartment, a perfect blend of style and sophistication can be found. Amidst the luxurious setting, Sam Still artwork adorns the walls alongside a striking Madeline Weinrib wallpaper that has become the epitome of fashion in kitchens for 2019. The key to achieving this level of elegance lies in balancing the various elements of the décor.
In this instance, the black and white wallpaper pattern harmonizes seamlessly with the subdued wooden floor and surrounding walls, creating a visually stunning atmosphere. The overall aesthetic is further elevated by golden accessories and lush green plants, which add a touch of warmth and vibrancy to the space.
Airy Farmhouse
The farmhouse kitchen style takes center stage on our list, and it’s easy to see why. Both interior designers and design enthusiasts alike adore these spaces for their warm, inviting atmosphere and the creative possibilities they present. A standout feature in this Wade Weissmann Architecture Inc.-designed kitchen is the eclectic charm brought by heavy timber beams. Moreover, the show-stopping ceiling will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression.
Contemporary Historic
In the heart of London’s West End, a historic townhouse has been meticulously preserved by Serena Rees and Joseph Corré, co-founders of Agent Provocateur. Dating back to the late 18th century, this architectural gem is a masterclass in blending modernity with period charm.
The kitchen, for instance, showcases a bold contrast between sleek stainless steel cabinetry and a striking Kelly green island, cleverly drawing attention to the room’s original details – including the ornate dentil molding and intricately carved fireplace mantel – rather than overpowering them.
Functionality and Beauty
In Seville, Spain, the Trasierra hotel, owned by Charlotte Scott, cleverly balances functionality with whimsy in its kitchen design. The open cabinetry allows for easy access to all the essentials needed to cook for large groups, while the turned posts, checkerboard tile, and painted beamed ceiling add a touch of playfulness to an otherwise straightforward space.
Floating Island
While this kitchen may not boast the same level of grandeur as others, it boasts an exceptional feature – an island on wheels that seamlessly blends functionality, ingenuity, and trendiness. This remarkable piece of furniture can be used as a kitchen counter, bar, storage space, or even a dining area (the only missing element being a bar stool). We’re thoroughly impressed!
Classic Modern
In the realm of modern luxury design, few spaces evoke majesty like a well-crafted kitchen. Case in point: architect Achille Salvagni’s opulent creation, which seamlessly blends period pieces with sleek, contemporary elements. The pièce de résistance is the striking combination of brass lighting fixtures and a 18th-century Venetian portrait, its regal presence tempered by the understated backdrop of uniform flooring, gray cabinets, and light walls.
Yet, it’s the judicious incorporation of golden accents and antique treasures that truly elevates this space to royal heights, imbuing it with an air of refinement and sophistication.
