Install a Bold Backsplash

Put down the paintbrush and pull out your pencil, friend, because class is in session. Take notes from this jaw-dropping design and enliven your airy, white-on-white kitchen with a prismatic backsplash tile. Snowy cabinetry, streamlined bronze hardware and creamy marble countertops serve as a crisp base in this contemporary kitchen design. Hand-painted tiles featuring a lively floral and fauna motif steal the show, encasing the space with unforgettable tropical flair.

Saturate Your Ceiling

Ready to take your design game to the next level? Use this whimsical kitchen by interior designer Swati Goora as your blueprint and wallpaper your ceiling with eye-catching color and pattern. We’re smitten with this technique, because it allows you to make a major statement without making major changes to your cabinets or walls. Bonus points are up for grabs if you coordinate your ceiling paper with the upholstery, accent furniture and window treatments used throughout your space as Goora does here.
