I'm an interiors writer for for Houzz and leading UK magazines and newspapers, which means I get to look round people's beautiful world kitchen homes and ask all the right questions. What's not to like? Recent work at www.joleevers.wordpress.com
Freestanding cupboards, mix-and-match colors, contrasting textures, individual drawer pulls kitchens can be as creative as their owners. If sleek, clean-cut units don t get you excited, take inspiration from these nine ways to get a more varied look in the kitchen.
1. Mix cabinet styles. This kitchen s cabinets are all the same trendy gray, but they sidestep predictable symmetry because two pieces are different styles. They work together, but their drawers have different depths and storage options. A rail for pots and pans creates more variety.
2. Feature a key piece. To keep things interesting in a kitchen with matching cabinets, add a standout world kitchen storage unit. It could be a plate rack or a bright or weathered dresser. It will break up the rigidity of a single-finish kitchen and let your personality shine through.
3. Work in an island. For impact in a large kitchen, an island needs to be a hero piece that can carry the space. This weathered central island doesn t conform to any norms. Along with the industrial storage on wheels, it adds just the right amount of character.
4. Try an urban loft style. A strong dose of industrial style livens up this slim kitchen. Wood, metal, gray paint and ceramic surfaces mix easily, thanks to similar tones. Then there are the contrasts : Bare bricks are mirrored by glossy metro tiles, waist-level units by a taller cabinet. Matching kitchen pieces world kitchen in this space could have looked too uniform; these look freed up and innovative.
5. Go two-tone. A blend of two shades palest green and natural bare timber brings a breath of fresh air to this kitchen. Tongue and groove cabinets and two types of handles are extra custom twists.
6. Compare and contrast. A creative kitchen doesn t have to be off-the-charts world kitchen unusual. Simply combining two tones, two surfaces and two heights does the job. Carefully crafted finishes give the space a quality feel.
8. Add your own handles. This kitchen works its magic with off-the-shelf Ikea units with tactile leather handles. They handles are eye catching and pleasant to hold significant, when you consider how often they ll be used. Open shelving on top combines with a stainless steel countertop that wouldn t be out of place in a chef s kitchen.
9. world kitchen Pare it back. This converted industrial warehouse is a dramatic space, so the designer wisely didn t try to make the kitchen steal the show. Zinc-colored doors inside pale frames, metallic tones and a pared-back 1960s vibe for the furnishings help this kitchen work in its setting proof that statements don t always have to be shouts.

Agree with Sunfire that large islands world kitchen need something on the ceiling. world kitchen I used a mural and pickled breadboard to break up the expanse. Did not like the idea of a large rectangular island so my husband installed a settee across from the fireplace. I guess you could call it my version of an "Inglenook".

I like to see kitchens and larger bathrooms use a piece or two that look like, or actually are separate world kitchen pieces of furniture. In most cases I prefer the piece to have a different finish than the bulk of the cabinetry but without so much contrast that it sticks out like a sore thumb. I like to play a two out of three game. 1. style 2. color 3. hardware. Make two out of three design elements different from the rest of the cabinetry, and one match. If the piece has a countertop, that is a wildcard world kitchen and can go either way. In my bathroom I played this game with three pieces. Vanity, wall cabinet and free standing base cabinet. They are all tied in together yet all different from each other.

What a beautifully written and creatively illustrated piece. This article was just in time for me. I'm building a small oceanfront retirement house and I've run out of money without a kitchen. Now I feel free to gather pieces world kitchen from Craigslist and secondhan
