Walking into a home, the best instant feelings are inviting, warm and welcoming. The walls and floors of your home cover the most surface area, so naturally they make the biggest initial impression. That’s why selecting that perfect wall color and floors is so important.
In the kitchen, cabinets play a similar role. Having refurbished or freshly-painted cabinets undoubtedly play a big part in a beautiful kitchen, and paired with updated appliances, can be the foundation for your dream kitchen.
For example, one popular trend is the glass-front cabinet, which, when mixed in with traditional cabinets, can give a light and open feel to the kitchen, while also serving as a display case for fancy dishes and glassware.
But is refreshing those old, outdated cabinets and adding new hardware too much trouble? Hardly.
Over time, adding new cabinets will certainly be a worthy investment, as they set the tone for the kitchen and have a huge impact on the overall look and feel. The bottom line is that at some point, this is a must-do project if you want a standout kitchen.
In the meantime, going with a unique hardware option can accentuate those cabinets and bring a personal and subtle flair to the kitchen. It’s albeit on a smaller scale, but the payoff is big. And what homeowner doesn’t like value?
Sometimes it’s the little things that make all the difference.
Going with unusual hardware pieces can give you that sleek yet subtle, simple but stylish look you’ve been missing in the kitchen or even bathroom. It’s also the quickest, easiest and cheapest route to go if you’re looking for instant results and gratification.
Today’s market of unique hardware options is seemingly limitless. Whether you fancy a contemporary or antique look, a feel for something classic, modern or artsy, installing unusual knobs, pulls, and hinges, or even outlet covers and switch plates, can accentuate your updated or work-in-progress kitchen.
Going the artistic route with creative and one-of-a-kind designs is a simple first step to achieving that signature look. These options include glass and crystal knobs, mirrored pieces, and marble and ceramic accents that pop in their own, unique way.
Classic metallic finishes such as bronze, copper, brass and stainless steel add a timeless touch that will combine well with various cabinet styles. Designers use these materials as a basis for their individual creations, giving some sort of familiarity and tradition to an unusual piece.
Metal materials are also incorporated oftentimes in trending minimalistic styles that offer a more modern or masculine feel to the kitchen. Your standard or traditional bar pull to come to mind in this case and can present a cohesive and linear look to your kitchen hardware.
Scrapped or reusable materials are also playing their way into the kitchen, by way of knobs and pulls. With an increased focus on sustainability and eco-friendly home, these small pieces subtly showcase aesthetics and efficiency.
