Kitchen Fashion for 2011

March 29, 2011 by Dan

From kitchen appliances to layout and materials used, every single item within your kitchen makes up the completed and total image which your guests judge you on. It may seem harsh but it’s just the way it is and you can’t even begin to prepare your space until you have a visual in your mind. So what kind of theme does one go with? There are so many to choose from but virtually anything is acceptable so long as it’s done tastefully and it also comes across as clever – this is even more important if you’re doing something really unique.

Kitchen Fashion 2011

Modern living is a general theme but never ceases to impress if done with a little inspiration. Everything in this kitchen is digital and brand new though, so don’t attempt to go this route if you’d need to make use of payment plans in order to acquire the latest gadgets. Here you want shining silver finishes and digital timers set against polished black tile. Your kitchen will need to remain absolutely spotless at all times, naturally, and a polished pinewood floor is desirable over linoleum.

Though beautiful, the contemporary kitchen isn’t the only route to style this year. One can go with more personal themes and play with lighting to create effects so complex and enchanting that they’ll leave an even greater impact on guests. Black tiles set against slightly mauve, lacquered cupboard finishes and a white counter top can be dramatically enhanced by the right overhead lighting. Provided that you have good quality kitchen appliances and a compact, but elegant, island cooker hood – you can pull off something soft and unique.

If you’re looking more for the soft family feel then gentle earthy colours and wooden finishes wherever you can apply them is the way forward. Don’t try to have everything in one colour or even the same wood. You’ll most likely want your floor to be made from Hardwood which is both aesthetically pleasing and incredibly durable. In terms of flooring your primary options are Cherry, Oak, Maple or Rosewood.

For cupboards you’re looking more towards the Softwoods such as Cedar, which is not only durable but also give a kitchen a sweet scent. Pine is ever popular, especially if you want to have custom items made up to your specifications. Finally, Redwood is an excellent style choice for your earthy kitchen due to the beautiful colours it displays with almost any kind of finish. Regardless of whether your kitchen is going to be contemporary, urban or earthy you can forget about gas appliances and even kitchen appliances in general until you pick a direction.

Once you do though, get ready for the most wonderful shopping spree of your life!
