From tile, to paint and lighting, there are hundreds of style decisions to be made and all are capable of creating a major impact. But don’t fret! While there are lots of of nitty gritty details to consider when redesigning your space, they don't have to be overwhelming.

From dramatically changing the color of your cupboards to just swapping out your old hardware, even the smallest updates can change the look and feel of your kitchen. So whether you’re working towards a major renovation or just looking for a few trends to freshen up your space, here are a handful of inspiring kitchens that we’d love to cook dinner in tonight.

Bold lighting mixed with handsome subway tile make for a strong statement room. I especially love how this space ties in the hunter green of the tile with green countertops and hardware pulls for a modern twist. 

Marvelous Marble

This wrap around marble countertop steals the show! By keeping the rest of the room minimal and clean it allows for this statement piece to pop.

Country Chic

These perfectly painted sage cupboards go from country to chic with the addition of delicate brass hardware. Installing a marble countertop instead of butcher block turns this otherwise rustic room into a glamorous retreat.

Fabulous Floors

Black cabinets don’t feel heavy when paired with a patterned floor! These tiles add necessary texture and lightness to a sultry, dark color palette. 

Modern Minimalism

Navy hues and deep, veined marble kitchens are popping up everywhere and there’s no question why — soothing colors paired with luxurious details would make any small galley sing. Ditch large cupboards for open storage to bring in some much-needed breathing room.

Long Lines

Brass bar pulls paired with a jute striped rug make for a simple yet stunning update. Even better, these delicious details could be turned around for a simple makeover in a weekend or less!

Give your small kitchen the illusion of lofty walls by installing a backsplash that reaches from counter to ceiling.

Dramatic Details

Dramatic-colored cabinets call for vibrant, vintage rugs and heavy duty brass hardware. Deep greens are very on trend right now and look great when paired with simple details such as small white floating shelves and subway tile. 

Terrazo Trends

Who knew that terrazzo would be making its way from office buildings into some of the finest kitchens? These surfaces are made from chips of marble set in polished concrete, making for a unique pop of color that’s full of personality — not to mention more affordable than other hard surface options out there.
