Finishing Your Kitchen Right

The kitchen is still one of the most used places in anyone’s home. Careful application of the right finish and style can transform this very social area into something even better. The difficulty, however, with choosing the right finishes is that there no rules to follow.

Dreamstyle Remodeling has a few tips that will help you pick the “perfect” finish for your kitchen.

Focus on your countertop first

The moment you step into your kitchen’s doors in Albuquerque, NM, your eyes are almost always drawn to your countertops. This is especially true if your kitchen features an island in the center. Your first consideration should be durability and ease of maintenance. You can have a great-looking countertop, but ensure proper upkeep. That said, there are many options that strike a balance between looks and functionality, like zinc, steel, and even natural wood. Go for light and shiny surfaces; these draw attention while remaining easy to clean.

Move on to the cabinetry

It’s advisable to go for simpler colors and more natural styles when it comes to cabinets. Apart from being easy on the eyes, these don’t detract as much from the overall design ethos of your kitchen. Considering the time you’ll spend in the kitchen, you’ll want to have color swatches that aren’t grating to your vision as loud colors tend to do. Additionally, lighter colors tend to help spaces be open and bright. Try a little bit of contrast, so your kitchen won’t end up becoming monotonous.

Bring it all together

It’s with everything else where you’ll find the most leeway for this home improvement in Albuquerque. “This includes lighting, fixtures, appliances, tables, chairs, etc. If your countertops and cabinetry are already dark-colored, then go for something lighter. There’s nothing wrong with maintaining monochromatic consistency, but the contrast pulls the viewer’s gaze across the entire room. One thing you should prioritize is lighting. Complement ample artificial lighting with new, wide windows drawing in natural light.
