Turn your kitchen into an area that not only meets your culinary needs but also serves as a warm, welcoming space for family and friends
It’s often said that the kitchen is the heart of the home, particularly for the avid cook and baker—besides being a place to gather, it’s the space where you put your culinary skills to the test, while whipping up delicious and nourishing meals for your family and guests. The ideal kitchen would thus be an inspiring and versatile space to create a convivial environment that also meets your culinary needs.
To make your kitchen a personalised haven, be as creative with the way that you decorate the space as you would when you prepare a feast. “Creating a statement for a kitchen is not only a designer’s work, it’s something that should exude from the owner’s character. Colours, materials, and finishings depend on the kind of atmosphere the homeowner wants to achieve for the kitchen,” says Rafael Calero, founder of CabinetStudio. One method is to inject pops of your favourite colour or pattern into this space. “Opting for mostly white and pastels on the wall paint can make your kitchen look fresh, bigger, and brighter. While using strong and bright colours such as red, blue, orange, or yellow, can make a bold statement in the interior of your kitchen.” He also suggests adding accent pieces such as an eye-catching lighting fixture to highlight a corner, and a stunning kitchen island, which, at the same time, can maximise kitchen space (think of incorporating cabinets or shelves under the countertop).
Play with a mix of finishes and contrasting textures to add to the culinary tableau. “Just like in fashion, you can always mix the old and the new to make the whole look exciting. You just need to choose the right pieces to ensure the smooth ow of the design in your space,” he says. Here is a list of kitchen essentials that will help create a bold space that will stand out from the rest:
