The Major Elements of Kitchen Dcor
Many people struggle when trying to decorate their home. This is especially true when trying to decorate the more functional areas of your home, such as the kitchen. One important thing to consider is that before decorating, or buying dcor pieces, you need to first decide which decorating style youd like to employ. The choices are endless, and can leave your head spinning. However, keeping a few design styles in mind will help most get a good start on the possible styles they could use when choosing their kitchen dcor.
Below are provided a number of the more popular styles of kitchen that can be considered if you happen to be planning a remodeling or revamping of your current kitchen. It is also an idea to carry out some research as well by looking in house and home magazines, visiting kitchen showrooms, DIY stores, Kitchen Websites or even looking at your family and friends homes to see if they have a style that you like.
1. Country Style - Often called Early American or Colonial as it is designed to create a lovely quaint farm style kitchen. Often such kitchens will feature open shelves, pot racks and have the feeling of it being well lived in. Such kitchens are usually accented by the various colour schemes relating to the actual cabinetry of the units.
2. Modern Contemporary " Extremely popular during the 90s, this style is noted by its clean and simple lines, along with the use of metals, plastics and other man-made materials, which give it a modern and somewhat futuristic look. Many are shying away from this style due to its emphasis on clean and cold, and opting for a more warm and livable style.
3. Classic Shaker " Simple and functional, this design features flat panel doors, wooden countertops and brass hardware such as handles, door pulls, etc. The accent colors are often light and warm, and its defining characteristic is simplicity and usability.
4. French Farmhouse " This classic style is noted by its use of warm and inviting colors and earth tones. It usually features lots of natural wood, with stickly, or chunky furniture.
5. Crafty Chic " Gaining popularity in recent years, this style features the use of glass doors and natural wood tones finished in a matte finish. Central to this dcor style is the use of decorative items such as tiles, plates, and other objects. While warm, inviting, and fun this style can sometimes become cluttered if a designer gets carried away with too many trinkets.
Remember, when choosing a theme for your kitchen, you must also consider the styles of the other rooms in your home, especially those rooms that are adjoining the kitchen. Your style should be an overall fit with the other rooms in your home where possible. Also, make sure to use transition rooms such as entry ways, hallways, and dining rooms as a segway from one design style to another. - 2361
