How to Create a Cohesive Kitchen Aesthetic
With the right plan and approach, you can design a kitchen that will quite literally drop jaws.
In our opinion, the key to a stunning and timeless kitchen is a cohesive aesthetic. From the cabinets and countertops, to flooring, backsplash and everything else in between, the styles and colours that you choose during your kitchen renovation should never be overlooked.
In this article, we will walk you through the steps to matching the countertops, cabinets and flooring, along with other elements like backsplash and paint, to create a cohesive kitchen aesthetic.
Matching Your Countertops, Cabinets and Floors
Step 1: Budget
No matter how elaborate or modest your kitchen renovation project may be, creating a comfortable budget can set you up for success. Your budget can set the tone for level of quality, timelines and just how in-depth the project will be.
Step 2: Colour Palette
Before you start shopping for hardware and decor, it’s important that you first select the colour palette. This can help to ensure a cohesive result that is both seamless and timeless.
Without a set in stone colour palette, you risk installing cabinets, flooring and countertops that do not contrast one another, don’t match and lead to unappealing results.
To help keep things clean and simple, we suggest selecting a main colour and two complementary colours. If you aren’t sure where to begin, social media and Pinterest can prove to be valuable assets, along with guidance from your local supplier of quality stone and kitchen essentials.
Step 3: Countertops
As we always say, let your countertops lead the way.
The countertops that you choose will set the scene for the aesthetic and functionality of your kitchen. The stone that you choose will have a direct impact on the durability of your kitchen, with the ability to stand up against the busiest of lifestyles.
Once you have chosen the kind of stone that is best suited for your home, family and lifestyle, you can then move forward with a colour and style that you enjoy.
Step 4: The Finishing Touches
The look and feel of your countertops will then set the scene for the other elements of your kitchen, including but not limited to the paint, floor, cabinets, and backsplash.
This is where help from the experts can really come in handy. The professionals at your local quality stone supplier can provide you with guidance in regard to the best colours and styles to complement your countertops.
We suggest asking for samples of certain materials and paint options, so that you can also compare and see for yourself what looks best. While expert opinions may be helpful, at the end of the day you are the one who will be using the space on a regular basis. Your opinion is undoubtedly the most important one, after all!
Step 5: Enjoy!
Now, it’s time to put your new kitchen to good use. Host family gatherings, connect with your spouse or host the next couples night, all with help from your brand-new, stunning kitchen.
To ensure that the elements of your kitchen serve you for many enjoyable years to come, we suggest familiarizing yourself with the proper maintenance and care needs. With preventative care and upkeep, you can help to maintain the quality and integrity of your countertops, floors and everything else in between!
