Ideas to borrow from a kitchen gallery

Kitchen décor is increasingly becoming an important consideration for homeowners today. Achieving a certain look in the kitchen can be a challenge, except when there is expert involvement.

Companies contracted to make kitchens usually have a portfolio that shows some of their best work and concepts that are ready to be implemented or in the works. In a sample of kitchen galleries, some standout features are:

doors

Doors are largely functional, but they can make a big impression and enhance the overall look of a kitchen. Different door designs like double doors add some style to the room. Doors can have glass panels, cut into different shapes, or be just plain. A brightly painted door gives the impression that the room is well lit. Light brown polished veneer on a wooden door enhances its appearance dramatically. Smaller details like door handles, which can be gold or chrome plated, door frames and paneling in oak are other considerations.

Drawers

Pull-out drawers are usually made to match kitchen cabinets, from the color to the handles. Handles especially can be knobs, curved and flip handles, or ornate. Shapes could be rounded or rectangular for ease of use.

Photos

Many people would not consider having wall art, pictures or paintings hanging in their kitchens. In fact, it would be appropriate to have wall art expressing food-related messages or promoting healthy eating on the walls, hand-painted or graphically designed images of brightly colored fruit in an orchard or basket, or even a spring of water clean. This subconsciously encourages a person to eat healthily and reminds them to grab a glass of water every time they walk into the kitchen.

Utensils and Appliances

These can be utensils, crockery and appliances, which with careful selection, can be made so that the material and colors match the overall decor of the kitchen. They can be: step cans, storage containers, spice jars, cup holders and recycling bags. Must have appliances, preferably stainless steel, ovens, rice cookers, refrigerators, dishwashers, freezers, microwaves, blenders, choppers, spice grinders, electric kettles, and sandwich makers. The strategic placement of these appliances in a kitchen subtly enhances the overall look of the room.

Turning on

Natural light is arguably the best, but artificial lighting can be improved to look almost as good. Positioning is key, as dim lights and lights fixed to ceilings can have different effects. Chandeliers could add a dash of classic vintage flair to a display.

color schemes

The paintings on the walls can be made to match the pictures and art on the wall. The overall theme could be lime green, like the color of lemons, bright red like a ripe tomato or red apple, bright yellow like a papaya, or a mix of matching colors at different ends of the color spectrum.

Furniture

The arrangement of stools and chairs at counters and tables, and the type of furniture are important. Metal stools or chairs add a semi-formal or sleek, ultra-modern look to the kitchen, while wood adds a rustic touch.

Kitchen galleries are meant to give ideas of what kitchens should ultimately look like and inspire the viewer to go further and infuse their own style into a kitchen. For an amazing collection, creative and expert photography is necessary to achieve the overall effect.
