INSPIRATION: INTERIORS: KITCHENS

This post is inspired by the many beautiful kitchens I’ve been seeing online recently – I had to share some with you. My kitchen is fairly new and done on a super tight budget (my Dad and I tiled and grouted for the first time some hexagonal mosaic tiles (not the best for first timers) so it’s not premium like all these examples but it’s mine and I love it! Do you want to see it – I might share it if you ask.

Anyway, the idea behind this post is to give you some ideas of what kitchens can be, I’ve tried to share many varying examples of styles and finishes, often it depends on your space as to what you can do with this inspiration. The farmhouse style kitchen wouldn’t do for me for example even though I love it, because my kitchen is very tiny. Retro kitchens are making a bit of a comeback using bright colours and retro modern features and of course I’ve added some minimal designs, Terrazzo is ever present as a trend that just doesn’t seem to be going away any time soon, and I’m loving the trend of extravagant lighting above breakfast bars. I’m really excited about the bare wood trend and wabi-sabi tiles, I’m enthusiastic to see some beautiful kitchens inspired by both French and Japanese interiors. So many exciting things going on in the world of kitchen design at the moment.

I’ve also added some pulls and knobs, the jewellery of the kitchen if you like, to accessorize with. Sometimes a lick of paint and a change of handle might be all you need!?

And then the kitchen essential section which I openly admit contains some very unnecessary and luxurious things – but if you have a foodie friend they might give you some great gift ideas?

If you have recently completed a kitchen project, I’d love to hear about it or have any tips for things a kitchen design needs add it in the comments below!
