Transform your kitchen into a room that fits your personality.
What inspires your kitchen design can be as personal as a treasured heirloom or as practical as your family traffic patterns. Whatever the motivation, the idea is to make the heart of your home uniquely yours. Find an inspired starting point and let your new kitchen unfold. Here are just a few of the places to look for inspiration:
-A solid foundation
Staying true to the architecture of your home is always a good bet. Let the style, lines and moldings guide your choices for materials and general design aesthetic.
In other words, stay true to the spirit of your home, but add your own personal twist.
-Go with the flow
Before jumping into the more exciting aesthetic considerations, get grounded in the functional basics. The kitchen is usually the epicenter of a home, so practical matters like traffic patterns and flow are key to a well-designed space.“A tinge of practical knowledge went a long way in making the space more livable,”by "Fragola". So “We took that principle and made it our own.”
-Let travel be your guide
Some of the most interesting journeys have been known to inspire culinary experiences—including kitchen design.“People are most relaxed when they’re on vacation. And typically they’re drawn to an ideal environment so they come back with dreams of a casual respite,” explains O’Neill.
Intricate wrought-iron accessories, marble or stone flooring and sturdy hardwood furniture are just some of the elements of this decorating style that can be successfully integrated into a kitchen project.That said, it’s best to resist the temptation to pack up a trend or inspiration that won’t be at home in your new kitchen’s climate or environment.

Today’s casual lifestyles have put the kitchen at the heart of the home. So it’s no wonder that many trends in kitchen design are borrowing aspects of the living room.
Cabinets made to feel more like furniture and less like storage spaces add a lived-in feel, as do woods with character, like knotty-cherry. Painted woods with glazing effects can also contribute to a well-worn, homey look.Borrowing from living room basics,we can try to place a lamp, fabric and a piece of furniture in the kitchens as a designs.
-The object of your desire
Sometimes it’s one simple item that drives the entire design: A cherished piece of artwork. The pattern on a plate. A yard of fabric. A piece of antiquity.
-Trends
You can’t ignore the volumes of inspiration that are published in shelter magazines, catalogs and on the Internet. Earmark your favorites and save them for help with style decisions.
Like Fragola says that during her kitchen remodel she relied heavily on a “foot-and-a-half stack of dog-eared magazines.” These inspirations helped her and her husband Joe convey their vision to their architect.“We took in as much design info as we could and then figured out what resonated for us,” Fragola explains.
Starting on your dream kitchen is guaranteed to be both exciting and challenging. Enjoy finding your muse, that personal starting point that will let your unique style shine through.
