The kitchen is central element of every home. Though all kitchens have things in common, like appliances, lighting and flooring, there is plenty of room to be creative and make it suit your home and aesthetic. From backsplashes to the flooring, the little details can make all the difference in how the room feels.
Backsplashes Simple white subway tile is the ultimate timeless backsplash. It pairs beautifully with almost any cabinetry or countertop, offering a clean, versatile backdrop. Statement tiles are gaining traction as well. Think geometric patterns, textured ceramics, or colorful mosaics that add personality and visual interest. Full-height backsplashes in marble or quartz slabs are also growing in popularity, offering a sleek and seamless look.
Natural Stone Surfaces Marble remains a favorite for countertops and islands, but many homeowners are also choosing quartz for its durability and wide range of colors. Waterfall edges, where the stone continues down the sides of an island, are a striking modern detail.
Palettes Soft whites, creams, and light grays create a bright, open environment that feels classic and fresh. Light oak cabinetry, matte black fixtures, and earthy tones like clay and sage create a cozy, inviting atmosphere.
Mixed Materials Combining wood, stone, and metal brings layers of texture and sophistication. Matte brass or brushed nickel hardware paired with natural stone counters and wood accents is a particularly popular look.
Flooring with Character Wide-plank hardwood and natural stone floors remain go-to choices, but patterned tiles (such as encaustic or Moroccan-inspired designs) are increasingly being used to define spaces and an edge of artistry.
