Walking into your kitchen and having the sense that it is far from the image you have in mind of what it should look like, isn’t so rare. The main problem is that kitchens don’t tend to age well, when you go with current trends. It makes them look as if they haven’t stepped into the modern age. It can be hard to decide where to start, and what should be done to bring it up to speed. However, the information below should help you take the next step towards a modern kitchen.
A Modern Kitchen needs Natural Light
Gone are the days where the kitchen could look like a bunker. Today, it needs to breathe, and the best way to do so, is by letting the sunlight in. This will mean tearing down the wall, or at least a part of it, to replace your old door and windows by new ones. When the work is done, you should be able to look through them, as if you were already outside. You can either use aluminium sliding doors or folding ones, or a large bay window. In the end, the kitchen needs to be filled with light, whenever the sun is out in full force.
Choose Earth Tones for the Walls
The kitchen is a place where everyone gathers. You want to make sure that everybody feels invited and happy to be there. If you choose to go for colours that are too bright, it may make some people uncomfortable, which is the last thing you want in a modern kitchen. Choosing to paint the walls in earth tones will work, simply because they tend to calm people. And although it is trendy, there are no periods of time, when earth tones look out of place. They are just more popular now than ever before.
Make it Spacious
A cluttered kitchen is another no-no, when it comes to modern kitchens. If need be, tear down the wall between the kitchen and the dining room, if there isn’t enough space to start with. People need to be able to walk around, without being afraid of tripping on a chair, a table, or any other object that may be in the way. Also, there has to be enough room around the area where the cook prepares the meal, so that guests and family members can hang around with him, as he goes about his work. You should be looking for warmth and friendliness, which is what getting people together is all about, after all.
Bring in Some Nature
We live in an environmentally friendly world, where everyone is aware of the importance of nature that surrounds us. Bringing it inside is a great way to show that you care. Furthermore, plants are natural air purifiers. Their presence in the kitchen will benefit everyone, has they will breath fresh air that has been cleaned by the plants. That is a definite win-win situation for you and all the family members.
