The kitchen is one of the most highly trafficked areas in a home, which means that it deserves a little attention. This is just one reason why spicing it up is a good idea. The following are 4 simple yet artistic additions to consider when remodeling your kitchen.
An Interesting Brick Wall
You will probably look at the wall behind the stove or counter throughout the day, so you should make it a little special. One thing that might make it stand out is installing a tricolor custom handmade veneer that extends on one side of the kitchen. The idea is to create an unexpected accent in your kitchen. Using brick is great because brick is flame-retardant and helps keep heat in the kitchen.
The tricolor should scatter the three colors. Try to choose colors that match your kitchen, but stick to solid colors like off-white and black.
Try a Vintage Ladder Light Fixture
Improving your kitchen’s visual appeal is not so much about spending a lot of money but adding the right eccentricities, like a vintage wood ladder fixture. A ladder fixture needs to be properly highlighted, which can be as simple as resurfacing some of the surfaces already in the home with a modern touch. For one, opting for wood or wood-like floors instead of tile will match the vintage wood ladder.
Still, matching the vintage wood ladder will not make it pop. Using an interesting color for your backsplash will look great. Ceramic is a great material to use around heat; plus, it can be easily modified. A smoky-black backsplash might really set the stage for the ladder. The ladder will be hanged horizontally, and the lights will be placed on the fixture.
A Featured Wall
Sometimes adding a strip of artistry to a room is simply not enough. The room may be a little bland, but that can be used to your advantage. A bland room can act like a spotlight for an accent and give you the opportunity to be a little bold. The idea here is to redesign an entire wall. Try to chose a wall that is exposed to the living room to really highlight its uniqueness.
The wall could be redesigned with tiles. It would be wise to choose different shades of the same color for the limestone mosaic tiles. You can choose any sized tiles, though small tiles will help add more color.
A Bar and Floral Setting
There is much that can be done to a kitchen as long as you are open to some ideas. Custom ceramic tiles for your backsplash adds an eccentric touch to your kitchen, but you can do a lot more. Perhaps it did not occur to you to use ceramic tiles as a way to delicately decorate the kitchen with more than just solid colors. For example, you can lightly decorate the tiles to have floral touches to make the kitchen feel a little different.
The island itself can be modified to make it splash more. Many people use the island to update their kitchen, but many people do this now, so it takes away from its uniqueness. This is the reason modifying the island is a good idea, and you can do so by making the island a bar.
Of course, these are just some ideas to get you start, but it is clear to see that some artistic touches could really add that “wow” factor to your kitchen. You can get more ideas at Alair Homes.
