"Imagine pouring time and money into a full kitchen remodel, only to regret it just a few years later. One of the most common mistakes is choosing kitchen features individually rather than envisioning the big picture from the outset. What's the best approach to creating a space that you'll love for years? Focus on cohesion with cohesive finishes that work together seamlessly. This will tie your kitchen together in a way that's timeless, not trendy."
"Don't just choose between matte or glossy finishes for your cabinets based on what's currently trending. Instead, let your kitchen's lighting conditions dictate your decision. A wall of glossy cabinets positioned in abundant natural light can quickly appear harsh, glaring, and overdone. At the same time, a space with dim lighting may benefit from that extra sheen of glossy cabinets to keep things bright."
"Step back and consider how the different finishes in your space look together. Do they clash, or do they balance each other out? If everything complements each other, you're on your way to achieving a classic, effortlessly chic kitchen. Making decisions based on the overall look of your space is the key to creating a timeless, kitchen. A color palette is your compass when creating a cohesive space"
Design decisions should prioritize cohesion across finishes, fixtures, and colors to create a timeless kitchen rather than following fleeting trends. Lighting conditions should guide cabinet finish choices: gloss can brighten dim spaces but may glare in abundant natural light, while matte reduces harsh reflections. Faucets and hardware should share a consistent design language to avoid mismatched fads. Evaluate how finishes interact and aim for balance and complementarity to achieve a classic, chic result. Establish a unifying color palette that ties walls, floors, cabinetry, and countertops together. Neutral or earthy tones are reliable starting points for lasting appeal.
