Jewel tones, especially a deep emerald, can convey a sense of luxury and elegance. Even olive green looks great when paired with a white backsplash. It just all depends on the mood you’re trying to set. Lighter tones can make a dark kitchen more spacious, while deeper tones are great for accenting walls or creating a cosier space.

Between banquettes, breakfast nooks, and islands, there are many ways to work a kitchen-dining room combo into your cooking space. The streamlined design is key to this modern eat-in kitchen. The island’s long counter creates the perfect area for snack time or breakfast without wasting valuable prep space. Backless stools, which can tuck mostly under the countertop and out of the traffic flow, help maintain the kitchen’s sleek, minimalist look. 

  Practical Pantries: A pantry is a cupboard that serves as a place to store food products and appliances, from jars of pasta and bottled sauces to an integrated coffee machine. The design usually includes a combination of shelving, drawers, door racks and pantry accessories to offer a variety of storage solutions, and can be tailored to a person’s available kitchen space and shape. Whether a free-standing pantry or a walk-in pantry, in case you have extra space, it is a must for every kitchen. It not only hides unwanted clutter but also helps you organize your kitchen needs in one place. Let there be light – It’s no secret that light profoundly impacts the look and feel of an interior. Proper lighting design makes the most of a kitchen and can make kitchen hardware trends shine even more in 2023. Minimalist line chandeliers and oversized pendant designs will be in fashion.
