Modern Kitchen - 22 Modern Kitchen Design Ideas For A New Kitchen

Verde Tinos Marble Kitchen, Cullifords (geraldculliford.co.uk)

If 2021 was the year in which the humble kitchen reinvented itself (largely due to the pandemic), what's in store for the modern kitchen in 2022?

A successful kitchen design includes many elements – layout, cabinets, worktops, appliances, and so forth, and today's modern kitchen seamlessly combines function, aesthetic and technology where every square inch needs to work harder. Essentially, our spaces need to do more.

The modern kitchen

2022 is set to be a 'landmark year for the blended kitchen space', Matt Phillips, Head of UK Operations at Rotpunkt, declares. 'Presenting a true democracy for today's lifestyle, the kitchen of tomorrow will be contemporary in style and spatially ergonomic with the very best sustainable furniture forming the basis of each scheme.'

The most desirable modern kitchen designs will reflect what Daval Furniture refer to as 'whole-house interior design schemes', where the kitchen-living space includes added value living areas like a home bar or utility/boot room.

Optimising how the kitchen space adapts with our lifestyles will be vital this year, says Simon Bodsworth, Managing Director at Daval: 'Post pandemic life will bring a deeper appreciation of the capabilities of custom-made furniture, alongside the introduction of hygienic surfaces and hardworking kitchen storage like walk-in pantries.'

From adventurous earthy tones to brilliantly bold hues, we're getting braver with colour, too. Ian Penney, Business Unit Director for Room Solutions at Homebase, elaborates: 'There will be lots of earthy tones as we continue to appreciate the great outdoors, but also bright colours such as teals and vibrant accents like copper or gold handles for an optimistic burst of colour. We’ve introduced new cabinet colours into our on-trend collection of contemporary House Beautiful kitchens. Designed and built right here in the UK, these kitchens are sleek and stylish with smart finishing touches. There really is something for everyone, especially those looking to turn their Pinterest dreams into reality. '

New kitchen vs simple refresh

Not all kitchen makeovers have to be expensive. 'Kitchens can be costly investments and aren't easily interchangeable. Using paint to add a splash of colour to walls, cabinet fronts, tiles, or shelving units is not only cost effective, but also allows for a unique burst of creativity and personality to be injected with ease,' says Helen Shaw, Director at Benjamin Moore UK.

To give you all the modern kitchen inspiration you need, here are the top kitchen trends for 2022. From colour and surface choices to finishes and layout, planning your dream kitchen starts here...

Green is still the 'It' colour

Tom Howley

Green kitchens are still having a moment in 2022.

'As a colour we associate primarily with nature, this grounding shade has an incredible way of reconnecting us with our surroundings, creating moments of calm and positivity,' says Tom Howley, Design Director at the eponymous kitchen company.

Ben Burbidge, Managing Director of Kitchen Makers, agrees that we'll continue to a surge in popularity of green finishes: 'A positive and versatile colour it can be used in deep, rich saturated tones to deliver a luxury look, especially when combined with marble worktops and brass detailing. At the other end of the scale softer, more powdery tones are particularly efficient in delivering the aspirational country kitchen look.'

The painted kitchen

British Standard by Plain English

When paired with authentic raw materials, painted furniture creates a durable kitchen environment that is classic in nature, yet contemporary in finish. The grains in the wood are still visible too, giving an element of texture. Above all, it's cost-effective, providing a great way to renovate your kitchen without the expense of replacing whole units.

The British Standard design team are seeing an increase in cabinets being painted in bright, playful hues. As seen here, Jacqueline Mercer aka @tinyandthehouse, transformed her hand-painted British Standard kitchen by repainting the originally inky blue cabinets in a cheerful yellow.

Storage of every kind

House Beautiful/Jake Seal

Storage is, and will continue to be, a big part of the kitchen space, with a specific focus around hidden storage solutions. Essential for a streamlined finish, storage systems will maximise space without negatively impacting the look and style of your kitchen.

Ian at Homebase comments: 'Storage remains a top priority, which is why Homebase are launching butler pantries and corner units to help customers to make the most of their kitchen space. '

Statement sinks

British Standard by Plain English

To balance the stylised aesthetic of statement taps (from brass to matt black), we are placing more attention on sink details when it comes to kitchen design.

‘Statement sinks are a trend that continues to gain momentum. More and more clients are focused on finding “the one” when it comes to their kitchen sinks, with vintage and vintage-style pieces, such as this fluted farmhouse design, among the most covetable,' says British Standard Design Manager, Adrian Bergman.

The peekaboo pantry

British Standard by Plain English

Pantry or larder storage is an essential part of any modern kitchen, and for 2022 the focus is – as British Standard by Plain English calls it – Peekaboo pantries.

'With pantries continuing to top kitchen wish lists, people are adding open shelving to slimline doors or a curtain to even the smallest of spaces to create mini ancillary spaces,' Adrian at British Standard explains.

Pictured: British Standard cupboards, British Standard by Plain English

Modular furniture

InHouse Inspired Room Design

Broken plan will be the layout of choice and statement furniture solutions combined with modular furniture will become the building blocks of the modern kitchen.

The experts at Rotpunkt explain: 'Industry forecasts indicate that versatile pieces of furniture that create a more flexible home environment will top the charts in 2022, with integrated wall and ceiling storage systems through to all-inclusive islands with space to cook, dine and do business.'

Case in point: The stylish and practical NX510 kitchen from next125 features tall wood veneer doors which open with a tap, then slides effortlessly to disappear to the sides of the cabinet with a gentle push.

Home bars

Davonport

As we're entertaining more at home, the modern kitchen needs to accommodate this, so it's no wonder that built-in bars (however big or small) are becoming a must-have feature.

The team of expert designers at Davonport explain: 'With restrictions on socialising over the past two years, our homes have evolved from being our sanctuary to our main social and entertaining hub. As a result, the demand for a home bar or drinks cabinet within the kitchen has increased and is not looking to abate any time soon.'

Breakfast bar

Moores

There's also an increase in demand for the breakfast bar. 'A breakfast bar is a versatile piece perfect for a multifunctional kitchen – with the right seating it can work as a dining table where you can enjoy a quick breakfast or informal meal with family and friends, while it doubles up as a bar and buffet area to serve drinks and canapes when hosting a party,' say Harvey Jones designers.

Steeped in history

Quorn Stone

The idea that 'old is the new' is driven by a sense of nostalgia and comfort. The design team at British Standard by Plain English say customers are seeking to create spaces full of intrigue and charm. How? By blending older, more characterful pieces into their new kitchens. 'These homely spaces go beyond function and are a backdrop to treasured personal objects, ceramics, glassware and artwork,' they explain.

Equally, filling your home with natural stone flooring, for example, will lend a soothing quality to any room, complementing both contemporary and more traditional kitchen interiors.

All glass

Tom Howley

On the modern kitchen wish list this year is glass. 'Not only do glazed cabinets break up the monotony of repetitive, solid fronted doors – especially in large spaces – they maximise the flow of light into darker corners,' Tom Howley explains. 'Having glass-fronted doors is as good as open shelving when it comes to displaying your prized pieces.'

Davonport designers say in the last 12 months glass has been used more decoratively and dramatically as splashbacks or backdrops for open shelving.

Cupboard skirt

British Standard by Plain English

A cupboard skirt is an ideal decorative finishing touch for rustic, country-style kitchens.

'Instantly softening, a sink skirt is also a great way to inject colour and pattern into your kitchen or pantry,' says Karla Patterson, Designer at British Standard. 'Affordable and stylish, it's also a clever way to conceal any unsightly storage and undersink spaces. '

Pictured: British Standard kitchen in the home of Lisa Mehydene, founder of edit58, British Standard by Plain English

The kitchen office

Moores

The rise of the 'working kitchen' has seen an increased demand for multi-functional spaces.

Kitchens will continue to require extra worktop space for home workers who may not have a home office, making way for laptops and monitors and even spaces for craft making.

There's a continued focus on integrated seating areas, storage solutions and extended breakfast bars or kitchen island units that become an all-inclusive workstation.

Large flagstone tiles

Quorn Stone

For a high-traffic area like the kitchen, you need durable flooring which also looks good. The choice for 2022? Flagstone floor tiles.

Isabel Fernandez, Director of Quorn Stone, explains: 'For centuries, estates and country homes have used flagstone flooring, thanks to their hardwearing characteristics and classic appearance that have stood the test of time. Now more than ever, people are wanting to create this timeless look in their kitchens by choosing large format flagstones.'

Glazed tiles

British Standard by Plain English

The British Standard design team have noticed a growing number of clients opting for plain or patterned glazed tiles to create eye-catching sink walls. This rich, glossy depth of colour on glazed tiles provides great textural contrast against pared back, hand painted wooden cabinetry.

Ian Penney at Homebase says tiling is the perfect way to upgrade to a modern kitchen: 'If you’re looking for a simpler refresh, tiling is a great way to go. We’ll be launching a new tiling range that will suit every style; everything from fun patterns and bright shades to darker and bolder colours in all shapes and sizes. Tiling is a great way to inject character into a kitchen, while being versatile, easy to clean and extremely durable. It's also really easy!'

Pictured: British Standard cupboards, British Standard by Plain English

Round shapes

Harvey Jones

In modern kitchen design, rounded shapes exude luxury and sophistication. A beautiful design element, these softer forms are more ergonomic and feel more natural to use. Aesthetically too, every view is taken care of, rather than creating abrupt stops.

'Rounded corners will be particularly popular in kitchen islands. The majority of worktop features, especially for breakfast bars, use contrasting materials like wood and quartz composite, with different level thickness. A curved seating area is more sociable (think of a round table vs. a long narrow table),' Emma Cowburn, Kitchen Designer at Harvey Jones, explains.

Pictured: Shaker kitchen, Harvey Jones

Back to front kitchens

Our kitchens are moving, quite literally.

'Traditionally a kitchen sits at the back of the home overlooking the garden but we have noticed a growing number of clients creating kitchens at the front of the home,' Adrian at British Standard explains. 'Many terraced houses feature two rooms at the front which can often be knocked through to create one large living space, this can be a good alternative to a side return, saving you the cost of an extension.

'By moving the kitchen to the front you can benefit from an open plan layout and a quieter sitting room at the back of the house, plus a double perspective will give added natural light.'

Delightful displays

deVOL

The kitchen shelfie is reinventing itself for 2022. 'From contemporary open shelving through to traditional dressers, the trend for decorating kitchens with beautiful ceramics and glassware is back,' says Ben at Kitchen Makers.

Open shelves offer an area to showcase your styling capabilities, as well as being a highly practical storage solution. 'Displaying meaningful or decorative items is a relatively simple and effective way to inject personality into a room, giving it a more inviting and homely feel,' adds Richard Davonport, Managing Director at Davonport.

Invisible shelves

British Standard by Plain English

Open shelving takes on an invisible form in the modern kitchen. Adrian at British Standard explains this kitchen trend: 'Adding a single shelf in the same colour as the wall behind creates the illusion that the shelf is floating or invisible, allowing the pieces featured on them to take centre stage. This type of open shelving offers a less fitted appearance over wall cupboards.'

Polly Shearer, Kitchen Interiors Expert at Tap Warehouse, develops this trend with the idea of the 'invisible kitchen'. She adds: 'People no longer want to fill their kitchens with clutter and accessories, but strip it back to the essentials and have cupboards that blend into the walls behind them.'

Metallic accents

Moores

As well as looking stylish, metal is a practical solution – it's extremely hardwearing and boasts antimicrobial properties which makes it a great choice for a working kitchen. And for 2022, metallic surfaces, from handles to worktops and splashbacks, will prove popular in kitchen design.

Hush Kitchens founder, Chris Spink, comments: 'While stainless steel was commonly used in industrial kitchens, now brass, copper and zinc are the must-have materials. '

Gold and bronze shades adding a splash of luxury or hotel-decadence will be big. 'These colours were once reserved for smaller accents such as handles or taps, however, in recent times, we have seen them appear in larger forms such as sinks and entire island work surfaces,' designers at Davonport explain.

Meanwhile, Darren Watts, Showroom Development & Design Director at Wren Kitchens, singles out hardware in any form of brass, from vintage to polished, as being the most popular as it will add warmth and a touch of drama without being overpowering.

Marble splashbacks

British Standard by Plain English

Changing your kitchen splashback is a great way to give your cooking space a facelift. A modern kitchen must-have, marble continues to be synonymous with style and elegance.

'Elegant, tactile and organic, marble is making a comeback as the most popular choice for splashbacks and work surfaces,' says Adrian at British Standard. 'Richly veined varieties, such as the piece seen in this Streatham kitchen, are a great way to make a statement if you are not looking to use bold colour or pattern and can look particularly luxurious when paired with metallic lighting and hardware,'

Pictured: British Standard cupboards, British Standard by Plain English

Cork

Marcus Lawett

Both renewable and biodegradable, versatile cork is making its way into the modern kitchen.

Bo Hellberg, CMO at String Furniture, comments: 'Cork is a material part of the “biophilia” trend, where we seek to connect with nature and organic materials and plant life, in our homes. It is obviously inherently sustainable and brings warmth and texture to any surface or space, but it’s also ideal for insulating, which makes it great for kitchens.

'Cork is a great match for our metal shelves, taming the industrial look. It combines the Scandi kitchen interior with a softer, organic material.'

Pictured: String system cork bottle tray, String Furniture

Integrated appliances

Kitchen Makers/Jon Day

As we're spending more time cooking and entertaining at home, there's now a greater investment in kitchen appliances – from coffee machines to wine coolers – that won't compromise cabinet or other appliance space.

Ben at Kitchen Makers explains: 'With the rise in the popularity of laundry rooms and breakfast stations, integrated appliances will allow you to keep your room streamlined.'

85 Kitchen Design Ideas - Remodeling Ideas for Interior Design

Make It Feel Extra Homey

Katie Newburn

Just because your kitchen doesn't get a ton of natural light doesn't mean it can't have a sunny disposition. The cheerful yellow wallpaper in Shavonda Gardner's kitchen proves it. Featuring unlacquered copper pots, soapstone counters that quickly patina, and a simple central dining table instead of a kitchen island, the kitchen's lived-in atmosphere instantly makes anyone who enters feel right at home.

Place Extra Chairs in Low-Traffic Corners

Annie Schlechter

If the space is small, play around with fun wallpaper. Something with a little sheen will make the room gleam... even if you haven't gotten to the dishes in, uh, a while. Sheila Bridges also opted for a complementary fabric on these accent chairs to enhance the blues throughout and tucked them in a low-traffic corner for convenience.

Use Statement Fabric for Seating

Nicole Franzen

Designer Kristin Fine gave her classic farmhouse a modern twist with glossy zellige tiles on the walls, Calacatta marble from ABC Stone on the counters, and vintage opaline pendants, black flush mounts, and vintage stools reupholstered in a mossy Pierre Frey fabric. The exposed beams maintain the countryside roots of the home and the pale green tones honor the forest views outside.

Start With One Accent Piece

Haris Kenjar

This kitchen was designed around the homeowners's inherited ceramic collection. She told designer Andy Beers of Ore Studios that she wanted the blue midcentury serve ware and tableware to anchor the entire space, so they mixed in open cubbies and added splashes of red for a vibrant yet straightforward color palette.

Remodel Cabinet Uppers to Optimize Storage

Heidi Caillier Design

If your kitchen wall is lined with windows, consider adding a pretty treatment that doesn't totally block the light, like cafe curtains, and make sure your lower cabinets can take care of most of the storage needs. This way, you can forgo lining the wall with uppers. Instead, install one strategic column. Heidi Caillier customized the open shelves for cookbooks, plates, drinkware, and even artwork.

Consider the Whole Home

Thijs de Leeuw/Space Content/Living Inside

Designer Nicole Dohmen of Atelier ND only set one rule when embarking on this kitchen remodel: “No more pink!” The rest of the home is dominated by rosy hues, so to prevent it from taking over the kitchen while still ensuring flow with the surrounding rooms, so went with earthy tones on the cabinets. Violet still makes an appearance in the Calacatta marble counter and backsplash zellige tiles, and a dusty blush tone veils the ceiling.

Paint Faux Floor Tiles

Read McKendree

Hang cafe curtains for a sweet, playful feel and a touch of privacy without totally blocking light, and then use a matching wallpaper or fabric to line glass-enclosed cabinets for cohesion and hidden storage. Kevin Isbell brought the blue and cream print on his to life by painting the floors a fun, checked pattern.

Take Inspiration from Professional Kitchens

Studio Diaa

Super-sleek yet also cozy, this kitchen designed by Studio DIAA blends farmhouse elements, like rustic wooden stools and blond shiplap ceilings, with more industrial materials for a balanced whole. The skylight along with the task pendant allows for optimal light while cooking.

Lean Into Eclecticism

Romanek Design Studio

This kitchen by Romanek Design Studio proves that balance is everything. The dark, moody tile walls, sleek backsplash, and stainless steel appliances assert an undeniably glam aesthetic while the wood and brass tones ground the space and give it that classic California warmth. The bohemian runner also adds just enough color and fun.

Bounce Light With Dramatic Black Tiles

Chris Mottalini

Designed by Nanette Brown, this striking kitchen is covered in glossy black subway tiles. Not only does that make all the surfaces super easy to clean, but it also helps bounce light and creates a cozy mood to really make the most of the small galley kitchen.

Hide Your Hood With Tiles

Heidi Caillier

Cover your hood in the same material as your backsplash to make it look sleek and clean. Here, interior designer Heidi Caillier camouflaged a bulky appliance with zellige tiles.

Cheer Things Up With Happy Paint Colors

Amy Neunsinger

Nickey Kehoe opted for a cream and pale yellow color scheme to lean into the warmth of the wood counters and terracotta floor tiles in this small pool house kitchen. The diamond cutouts in the cabinets add another punch of soothing symmetry.

Make a Mini Hidden Pantry

George Ross

Since not all pantry goods and appliances can fit in the main part of this kitchen in a great room designed by Brigitte Pearce, she decided to optimize a closet so that it's easily accessible from the cooking zone but also hidden from view in the lounge area. Textured glass pocket doors and bright red cabinets create a stylish surprise.

Repurpose Storage Unites

Luca Trovato

When you run out of cabinet space, just repurpose a dresser or armoire to house all of your plates, glasses, and serveware. Francophile Stephen Schubel gave his modest California cottage the royal treatment with antique gilded pieces and an Edwardian plaster cabinet.

Hide Ugly Views With Stained Glass

LAURE JOLIET

Stained glass is both good looking and clever. Reath Design blocked a view of the driveway and enhanced street-level privacy by replacing glass panes with colorfully painted ones. This is a great option when you want to introduce color and obstruct a view without blocking all the natural light.

Hang On Theme Artwork

Julian Wass

This misty green in a kitchen by Gary McBournie feels beachy, but it's also classic. Neutral décor, like a sisal rug, fresh marble counters, and oceanic artwork, strikes the balance between casual and formal in an open kitchen, too. That contrast is the key to making a tiny space feel dynamic.

Mirror Your Surfaces

Dries Otten

If you love shiny stainless steel and edgy mirrored surfaces, take the metallic look to the next level with a gold mirrored island. In this kitchen designed by Dries Otten, the island brings some glamour to the playful elements throughout, like the single pendant light, swirls of pink marble, and cobalt blue loft railing above.

Choose an Adventurous Wallpaper

James Merrell

This swirly wallpaper proves that making adventurous design decisions can pay off. In this kitchen designed by Rita Konig, the wallpaper in question is Antoinette Poisson's Jaipur. We love it even more paired with the rich purple-veined marble and painted cabinets. To protect it from water damage, Konig added an invisible glass over the wallpaper between the counter and cabinets.

Tuck Away Extra Appliances

MICHAEL PERSICO

Designed by Matthew Ferrarini, this kitchen is bursting with ingenious small-space solutions. He used folding wood pocket doors to conceal the entire counter and cabinet area against the wall. This would be a major game-changer in a studio apartment.

Mix Different Tones of One Color

KARYN R MILLET

This Eric Olsen kitchen has serious tile game. If you live by the coast but want something moodier or you simply love blue, take not from the rich navy, gray, and cobalt tones throughout.

Add an Extra Sink

Reath Design

An extra sink in this California kitchen by Reath Design doubles as a place to arrange flowers, thanks to a spacious worktop corner nestled into a bright corner. The designers created extra storage below the sink for tools and other essentials by hanging pleated curtains from rods. The skirt, exposed bricks, terra cotta tiles, and pendant lamp all bring a country feel to the mode modern marble.

Never Underestimate the Accents

STEPHAN JULLIARD

Now this is how you light up a room. In this Parisian apartment by Studio Razavi, the dramatically large, undulating pendant opens everything up in one sweep. A fun magenta carafe adds a pop of color to the industrial kitchen.

Paint the Ceiling

Dominique Vorillon

Architecture and ornamental wall detailing make this kitchen whimsical—and just a touch dramatic. The lavender swirls of paint on a buttercream backdrop complement the elaborate blue chandelier, too. Then the classic, neutral cabinets and island ground the space.

Add Greenery or an Herb Garden

Hecker Guthrie

No room for a greenhouse or garden in your home? Start a mini plant collection in the kitchen instead. This way, you can exercise your green thumb and liven up the room (bonus: plant herbs for a truly useful indoor garden). In this kitchen designed by Hecker Guthrie, the glass cabinets add interest without making it feel cluttered.

Lean Into Your Fancy Side

DOUGLAS FRIEDMAN

Lacquer, marble, tiles, oh my! This fabulously over-the-top kitchen designed by Michelle Nussbaumer isn't afraid to have fun. For a similar look, choose a backsplash that corresponds with the kitchen island and then use tile on the floors.

Blend It All Together

David Tsay

A pale green blends seamlessly between the kitchen and dining area of this "jungalow," by Justina Blakeney, especially when paired with the Moroccan clay tile backsplash and ombre dining bar stools in the living room.

Embrace Existing Quirks

PHOTO: Matthew Williams; DESIGN: Studio DB

Rather than seeing the exposed pipe in this kitchen as a design flaw, Studio DB saw an opportunity for a fun pop of red. Now it looks like an edgy, industrial, unique, and colorful accent that anchors the kitchen and puts the stylish breakfast nook in the spotlight.

Try a Glass Backsplash

Danielle Colding

Subway tile isn't your only backsplash option. Danielle Colding used a glass backsplash for a shinier, more modern and cosmopolitan touch in this city apartment. It goes perfectly with the lacquered cabinets.

Forgo Closed Cabinets

MARCO BERTOLINI

Hang cloth curtains in front of your bottom shelves to hide storage essentials instead of opting for classic cabinets—like in this boldly-colored kitchen architect Viola Simoncioni created for her own home. It feels decidedly more retro and adds some movement.

Try an Accent Wall

Danielle Colding

When space is limited, you have to find creative ways to add a little fancy flair. Here, interior designer Danielle Colding added a powder blue accent wall and a sculpture but kept everything else glistening and white. The Chanel tray on the counter for serving also doubles as decor.

Paint Your Interior Cabinets

Arent & Pyke

An inky, marine blue will ground a kitchen in an open space and feel more formal than a light color without being as moody and as dark as black. We also love the idea of painting the interior cabinets a color that corresponds with an accent piece in the room, like this orange cabinet designed by Arent & Pyke to match the carpet.

Add a Serving Window

Romanek Design Studio

As seen in this Malibu kitchen by Romanek Design Studio, a serving window makes spaces feel more open and air but they also make life easier. Even better, they typically connect the kitchen to a backyard or deck space and promote indoor/outdoor living, so they're especially popular if you live somewhere warm and love to host al fresco dinners.

Rethink the Tile Pattern

Jenn Feldman Design

For this Los Angeles kitchen, Jenn Feldman Designs chose a tonal grout to blend in with the navy tile, which is set in a refreshingly unexpected chevron pattern. It feels unexpected and interesting but fits in well since it matches the lower cabinets.

Go Big With Open Shelves

Eric Ray Davidson

Have fun with open shelving, stacking plates and adding items that bring personality to the room as a whole. Try framed photos, candlesticks, and art. The retro red appliances are also definitely worth investing in if you love color and nostalgia.

Splurge on Stone Materials

Werner Straube

In this kitchen designed by Corey Damen Jenkins, the wood tones, brown marble swirls, and beige bar stools warm up the crisp white staples while the metallic accents add some glam. Jenkins says the granite "was a bit of a sell. I told the clients to look at it as art. Of course, now it's their favorite thing."

Lacquer Your Cabinets

Francesco Lagnese

Go glam with a high-gloss deep red reminiscent of wine. The robust, full color adds so much depth and glamour. Proof? This kitchen by Nick Olsen, where geometric tiles pump things up to the next level.

Add an Island Extensione

Hecker Guthrie

The light wood tones and metallic pendant warm up the otherwise cool space in this kitchen designed by Hecker Guthrie. This space also proves that a bistro round bistro table situated over the island makes a classic kitchen layout so much more interesting. And it's even fresher when you paint your bar stools a buoyant shade of mint green hue and hang a copper pendant light overhead.

Alternate Finishes

deVOL Kitchens

We're really digging the alternating black and gray stained wood cabinets in this deVOL kitchen. The varied tones (plus texture) adds interest to a neutral space. The sandy beige walls keep things neutral but warms thing a little more than a crisp white or super light gray. The shearling chair cover warms up, too, and the interior window creates flow and spreads the light.

Accomodate the Pets

DAVID A. LAND

Use Your Surroundings as Inspo

Nicole Franzen

This coral pink kitchen is like being on vacation all year long. With rattan and bamboo staples and a fresh coat of cheerful pink paint, it's quirky, upbeat, and unique without being too over-the-top. If your home is somewhere warm or tropical, follow suite.

Dress Up With Gold

Arent & Pyke

There's nothing quite like metallic to make your interiors pop. Opt for a brushed gold finish on the kitchen cabinets and introduce more down to earth materials like jute to make sure it isn't too flashy, like in this Arent & Pyke-designed kitchen.

Go Retro

deVOL Kitchens

This retro-inspired deVOL kitchen is a beautiful blend of classic English design with contemporary functionality. The glass cabinet customized to fit right into the corner and looks beautiful with the baby pink paint and Kelly green backsplash. And of course, that wood-burning fireplace drives home the charm.

Invest In Appliances

DOUGLAS FRIEDMAN

When there's not much you can do with a cramped space without making it feel even smaller, add a rug. It'll warm it up, and add color and pattern without overwhelming your kitchen. Interior designer Michelle Nussbaumer also chose a warm color palette and packs plenty of texture-rich materials into the small space.

Be Thoughtful of Spacial Relation

Arent & Pyke

There's a lot to love about this kitchen designed by Arent & Pyke, but we're particularly impressed by the careful, asymmetrical balance happening here. The hood leans to the right of the room, as do the bar stools, which is subtlety reflected in the cream lumbar pillow camouflaging into the sofa. Meanwhile, the linear floating shelf in line with the hood as well as the light fixture, island counter, and sofa form a soothing sense of symmetry.

Use a Unique Stain

deVOL Kitchens

If you prefer the look of unpainted wood but also like to play with colors, consider dyeing your wood cabinets a unique color. In this deVOL kitchen, the aubergine island and lower corner cabinet is super unexpected. We're also loving all the exposed beams and casual floor tiling.

Use Metal Grates

David A Land

Can't decide between glass display cabinets and solid cabinets? Try this happy medium. The metal grates allow for partial visibility and add a shiny touch.

Take Design Risks With Lighting

PHOTO: Anson Smart; DESIGN: Arent & Pyke

Lighting provides the perfect opportunity to play with design, and scale in the kitchen. Arent & Pyke clustered a pair of long, narrow cylindrical pendants to offset the formality of this kitchen instead of going with a classic pendant light over the island.

Set the Scene

deVOL Kitchens

Contemporary kitchen or dreamy Victorian bistro? Everything in this deVOL kitchen contributes to the narrative of European nostalgia, from the olive green Smeg refrigerator camouflaging against the House of Hackney wallpaper to the wrought iron window boxes fastened to the skylight niches. We're in love.

Forgo Overhead Cabinets

Catherine Kwong

The narrow shape of the a galley kitchen tends to present some spacial challenges. In this one designed by Catherine Kwong, the designer opened things up by ditching upper cabinets in favor of a floating shelf. Opting for sconces instead of a flush mount or pendant helps make the ceilings feel a little higher, too.

Repurpose Old Items

PHOTO: Reid Rolls

Leanne Ford is the queen of revamping beat up and outdated things. Case in point? This rustic kitchen island. The tin bucket also looks upscale filled with a gorgeous bouquet of roses, as do the walls, thanks to a fresh coat of paint—in Ford's favorite color.

Bring in a Subtle Egde

PHOTO: Preston Schlebusch; DESIGN: Studio DB

Concrete floors brings an understated edge to this kitchen designed by Studio DB. While classic hardwood panels or fun colorful tiles would also work well in this family home, the sleek grittiness of concrete is a welcome surprise.

Hang Plants

deVOL Kitchens

This country chic kitchen by deVOL is so full of life. The light yellow-painted beams fill it with a sunny energy while the hanging plants and framed plant print make it feel fresh and easygoing, as do the laidback terra cotta floor tiles.

Use Creative Shelving

Romanek Design Studio

Use open shelving to add to the utilitarian feel that's still stylish. In this kitchen, Romanek Design Studio opted for a shelving unit that didn't require any renovations and complements the formal black marble surfaces as well as the more casual tile floors.

Play Up Architectural Quirks

Mikhail Loskutov

Stained glass, but make it 21st century. If you live in a space that has quirky interior windows (fun fact that I learned at the Tenement Museum: Many old apartment buildings have them because they were built to increase air circulation as a preventative measure against tuberculosis), here's how to make them look intentional and incredibly stylish. In his Brooklyn apartment, Crosby Studios designer Harry Nuriev now gets to look through a rose-colored window every day. He used cut-to-size plexiglass from a shop on Canal street, according to Architectural Digest.

Make It Moody

Fantastic Frank

There's nothing sexier than matte black when it comes to kitchen paint colors. Except, that is, when you cover the bottom of the overhead cabinets with a gold mirrored material.

Use Tile as a Transition

Lisa Romerein

Try a bold tile to bridge the transition between a darker and lighter colors. We're obsessed with the blue encaustic tile in this kitchen by Steve Pallrand, especially when warmed up by classic wood cabinets and a little plant collection.

Lay a Round Rug

Nicole Franzen

Instead of opting for a narrow runner in the kitchen, bring in a round jute rug to warm things up. This shape will work especially well in an open kitchen without a rectangular island breaking up the space.

Have Fun With Backsplash

deVOL Kitchens

When it comes to a backsplash, let your imagination run wild. This eclectic turquoise deVOL kitchen gets a surge of graphic style from the artful backsplash. The retro appliances and farmhouse dining table maintain the homey feel.

Forget the Kitchen Island

If you're kitchen is blessed with tons of counter room for cooking and you want to try something different with the leftover space, fill it with a dining table instead. Choose something with similar proportions, like a large rustic dining table, to achieve a similar layout but with a new twist. We're also into the hide area rug under the table in this kitchen designed by Leanne Ford—it's a the perfect dose of warmth.

Make Glassware Pop

deVOL Kitchens

Why hide your favorite glassware behind closed cabinets when they can be displayed out in the open, doubling as decor? The magenta wine glasses in this deVOL Kitchens townhouse accentuate the statement sofa.

Spice Up the Island

Arent & Pyke

A folded effect over the edge of the multi-hued island in this Arent & Pyke kitchen feels fresh and fun while keeping the room understated. The circle motif repeats in the pendant light and as a unique custom handle pull on the cabinets.

Paint the Floors

Savage Gibson

In this bright kitchen , the spring green painted hardwood floors feel like a warm welcome. The framed print, linen curtains, and striped ares rug carry that sentiment throughout the space. Another important takeaway? A bar cart is probably the finishing touch you didn't know you need in a narrow kitchen without an island.

Let the Light Pour In

Aside from being calming and aesthetically pleasing, having plenty of natural light makes the kitchen a lot easier to work in. When starting from scratch, think about your layout strategically so the spaces where you do the most work are closest to the windows, like the sink placement in this kitchen designed by Arent & Pyke. Then, then add task lighting under the cabinets far away from overhead and natural light.

Open It Up With Interior Glass

Hecker Guthrie

This space designed by Hecker Guthrie is a happy medium between an open floor plan and a closed/ split floor plan thanks to the interior glass doors framing the dining room. The dramatic effect is amplified by the light fixture over the dining table, which also helps transition the kitchen to the rest of the space.

Try Something Unexpected

David Duncan Livingston

Burnt orange cabinets are unexpected, but add a rustic touch to a kitchen. To add to the effect, hand-forged iron lanterns were hung, but painted white inside to reflect more light onto the island. Copy this slim kitchen island if your space is small since it gets the job done without looking out of scale.

Paint It Two Tones

deVOL Kitchens

Why settle for one color when you could have two? Just make sure you choose two complimentary colors so nothing clashes, like the muted mint green and dusty rose pink in this deVOL kitchen. The wood elements and traditional design balance things out nicely, too.

Try A French Brasserie Look

Bjorn Wallender

The decorative brass grilles and accents around the stovetop, plus the white pendant lights give this renovated kitchen by Summer Thornton a French brasserie feel. Storage baskets under the kitchen island table dress things down just a touch.

Use All Available Space

Sara Tramp

Designed by Velinda Hellen of Emily Henderson Design, this kitchen uses every square each strategically. Since it's tiny, every nook and cranny matters, from the storage basket above the sink to the wall hooks on the side of the cabinet and two-tier floating shelves.

Make Marble The Main Attraction

Björn Wallander

Don't be afraid to go marble crazy, from the backsplashes to the countertops and even the floors. The slabs of barely gray honed Carrara marble covering the kitchen of Maxwell Ryan's Hamptons home make for a clean, airy look.

Create A Party On Your Floor

House Beautiful

An orange checkerboard floor brightens up this mostly white kitchen by Gary McBournie, while the contrasting blue door adds a quirky touch. Translation: Loosen up and opt for bold colors.

Think Practically With Seating

Ngoc Minh Ngo

Barstools with a back are objectively more comfortable for posting up at the kitchen island. They're also a safer option for kiddos at the kitchen counter, a consideration Barrie Benson surely made in this family home.

Accent With Brass

deVOL Kitchens

These creamy light brown walls in a gorgeous deVOL kitchen make for the perfect backdrop. The deep blue-gray kitchen island mixed with cool marble surfaces and brass hardware is such a beautifully surprising combination with the strong, earthy walls. Swapping out hardware is an easy way to liven up an all-white kitchen. Choose brass to add a bit of elegance.

Drop Your Floor

Annie Schlechter

A dropped floor makes a rustic kitchen feel even larger and special. The exposed wood beams in the ceiling of this kitchen by Jane Hawkins Hoke give it that farmhouse vibe while the fresh coat of paint and pristine condition assure a contemporary, clean atmosphere.

Pick A Bold Color

Amy Neunsinger

Take blue and white to the next level with a vibrant burst of cobalt, like in this dreamy kitchen by Mark D. Sikes. It makes a statement but still feels classic and is simply perfect for a coastal beach house (or just someone who wishes they lived a little closer to the ocean).

Draw the Eye Up

deVOL Kitchens

Though most of us don't love the look of old heating furnaces in the kitchen, there's not a great alternative. Draw the eye upward with a hanging structure as done here in this deVOL kitchen. Whether you display wind chimes or hang your linens here, it'll come in handy beyond it's aesthetic value.

Make It Monochrome

Jonny Valiant

A glazed backsplash and weathered oak island feel sleek and sexy in this kitchen by Jon de la Cruz. Plus, the hanging rack is functional and stylish. If you love the monochrome look but want a little more soul, take note.

Get a Wood Island to Ground the Room

Jennifer Hughes

Crafted from walnut, imbuia, and anigre, the nearly 11-foot-long island in this kitchen by Richard Anuszkiewicz was inspired by English antiques. Elegance to the max.

Contrast Textures to Make it Feel Historic

Lisa Romerein

The contrast between the rustic stonework and streamlined stainless steel appliances give this French-inspired kitchen by Inga L. Rehmann a serious wow factor. To maximize entertaining space, downsize an island and add a trestle table with stools.

Make Purposeful Updates

Victoria Pearson

You don't have to re-do your whole kitchen to make a statement. This kitchen by Frances Merrill has existing countertops and white range, but the cabinets were painted and hexagonal terracotta floor tiles were added, as well as open shelves.

Try A Statement Ceiling

Eric Piasecki

A green gingham ceiling and pea-green cabinets by designer Gideon Mendelso give an otherwise classic kitchen some cool points.

Choose Dramatic Lighting

Björn Wallander

For an oversized island, like in this Charleston kitchen by Jill sharp Weeks, you need statement lighting of the same scale and proportion .These iron pendants add drama and necessary light without being too over-the-top.

Make It Indoor/Outdoor

This kitchen designed by Amber Interiors is California dream. With a floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall door that leads outside, you can enjoy the fresh air at all times. Plus, the light sheers blowing in the wind add an ethereal vibe. Pro tip: Customize glass cabinetry that stretches up to the feeling so it'll feel even more open.

Use Taller Kitchen Storage

Eric Piasecki

The subtle color in this kitchen bring a coziness to the space, but don't distract from its traditional style. And we need to talk about that insanely cool rolling ladder. Plus, it'll keep things organized.

Create A Chalkboard Bar

Alec Hemer

A chalkboard wall, like in this kitchen by Erin Martin and Kim Dempster, is the most fun way to show off your weekend brunch menu. (Plus, now you don't have to worry about your kids drawing on the walls).

What are the 5 main types of kitchen layouts?

House Beautiful

Galley Kitchen: This is as about straightforward as it gets, with two parallel rows of counters, appliances, and storage built-ins along two opposite walls. Galley kitchens tend to be especially popular in small spaces since they work well with standard sizing and also only require two rows with a narrow aisle for standing room.

Straight Kitchen: Straight kitchens are common in small spaces and open floor plan living environments. Unlike the galley, all of the appliances, storage elements, and countertops occupy a single wall while the other wall is optimized with decor or strategic storage. Or, if the room isn't enclosed, it opens right up into a larger space. One of the best ways to separate the kitchen area from the living space in this context is to add a piece of furniture, like a small island, that doubles the counter room and visually sections off each area.

L-Shape Kitchen: This kitchen layout also takes up two walls. The sink, dishwasher, and refrigerator are along one wall or row while the stove is in line with the island or on the corner wall, forming an L-shape. It's a great go-to for busy cooks who do a lot of meal prep and appreciate an easy cleanup job.

U-Shape Kitchen: Just like the above, it's exactly what it sounds like. The appliances and surface spaces form a U-shape, usually framing the parameter of the room. Typically, the sink and dishwasher will be side by side, and then on the corner wall, you'll have your stove and other appliances, like a refrigerator, and one of the counter spaces can even curl off the wall to create a casual breakfast bar. It can help streamline complex cooking, and if the room is big enough, an island can be added in the center.

Open Kitchen: An open kitchen can also be referred to as the great room, but it really just speaks to the types of kitchens that are open to the living room family room, dining room, and/ or breakfast nook. The shared space allows for more time spent together and is especially good for families.

Island Kitchen: An island can enhance a kitchen of various layouts, whether you add one to a straight kitchen, L-shaped, U-shaped, or open kitchen. They can even actually work nicely in galley kitchens if it's wide enough to fit one. Functionally, they can add extra counter space for cooking and casual dining, they can be outfitted to accommodate appliances or extra sinks, and they allow you to pack in extra storage.

Mustard color - what is it and how to identify it correctly?

Mustard color is an ambiguous and complex shade with its own character. It can be called yellow-green, and yellow-orange, and acid yellow and another close shade in the palette, it can even appear golden or copper! Speaking in the professional language of designers and describing this nuance more precisely, it would be correct to say that in the spectrum mustard is between light greenish yellow (preceding - corn) and light deep yellow (subsequent - orange-yellow Crayola). However, this shade should not be understood unambiguously, because mustard flowers are usually more bright yellow in color, and the mustard itself, which is made from a plant, can take on a different appearance and be closer to a dusty green or dirty orange. nine0003

Mustard chairs in the kitchen-living room - eclectic style, classic, modern classic

Shades of mustard gravitate more towards a warm palette, although a coolish greenish undertone makes its own adjustments. For all its combination, the color always looks catchy, bright, you can say that it is “pull out your eye” if there is too much of it in the interior of an apartment or house. The mustard color scheme has its advantages: it is very unusual and immediately attracts attention, brings a certain charm to the design project due to the complex color composition, harmoniously combines with many colors and styles, gives some warmth to the room, does not get bored as quickly (like yellow or green in its pure form), and it is also universal - suitable for all rooms and people, regardless of their age, especially children! And the mustard color is rarely used in the interior, because they don’t know how to cope with it. But luxury real estate designers always combine something extraordinary in the palette. And the result is a difficult, delightful and exclusive project. nine0003

Combination of mustard color with other colors in an elite interior

Mustard and shades of green - kindred spirits

It goes well with almost the entire palette of green shades, since there is already something grassy in the mustard itself. Combinations with pistachio, lettuce, emerald, acid green, withered grass, forest gray, etc. look best. Colors similar in kind always harmonize well and complement each other. Such a symbiosis can be called both related and at the same time contrasting. Indeed, the mustard color in the interior of the living room with other similar shades looks just right, without going beyond the color scheme. nine0003

Mustard and white nuances - basic set

Mustard color in an interior with white tones looks elegant and aristocratic. So it is well neutralized and becomes more calm, not flashy. And the more white, the better and more gallant. A small spot of yellow-green or yellow-orange color will stand out from the overall picture, forming a special accent in a room with a lot of meaning. There is something to think about here. A small mustard-colored accessory will fit into any room of the house. nine0003

Mustard color in the white interior of the living room is emphasized by golden elements and wooden details.

Mustard and gray palette - discreet harmony

Gray itself is a base color, the combination with which almost always looks good. Its muted shade really looks good in the interior. Moreover, this cold tone amazingly and discreetly emphasizes the mustard nuances, the only thing to remember: if there is too much gray in the design project and only a little yellow-green, then the interior will look lifeless and dull. Now, if you dilute the range with wooden colors, it will become perfect. nine0003

Mustard and blue-blue tones - traditional for designers

One of the most correct mixes in terms of color can be called a pair of mustard and blue, as well as all its derivatives - gray-blue, deep blue-violet, indigo, light sky , dark sapphire, etc. Such combinations of shades are considered traditional. Yellow-green will dilute the blue well, make the composition spectacular, properly built and memorable. nine0003

Mustard and red - who wins?

Scarlet, burgundy or red-orange together with mustard feel great together in the same interior. Such combinations will look beautiful, and elegant, and colorful. Especially if the style is modern, modern or neoclassical. But here it is important to dose catchy colors. All contrasting shades should be in their place in the composition. If there is too much of one color or another, then the design project will become completely different. Here is kitsch, pop art, pin-up, on the contrary, this will be to your taste. There is no limit to the brightness. nine0003

Mustard and brown - perfect for harmony

Mustard tones next to chocolate, woody, dark brown shades look really magical. Such a pair of warm natural colors evokes pleasant associations, because they complement each other. Both colors are not in their pure form, but in a mixed one, only one is deeper and more muted, and the other is bright and saturated. When there is a lot of brown, then more mustard accents can be made, since the darker one will act as a neutralizing link in the design. nine0003

Mustard and black - modern and fashionable

Noir and mustard in their combination speak of a stylish color combination. However, they always need support in the form of neutral shades: white, beige, gray, but best of all - pastel (or low-contrast, blurry). Especially purple, dusty pink, sky blue, ivory, etc. Of course, such a friendship of colors does not suit all areas, the best ones will be: minimalism, loft, hi-tech, modern classics, art nouveau, brutalism and other fashionable interior styles. nine0003

Mustard color in the form of an accent on the fireplace next to black and graphite shades emphasizes the elite interior.

Mustard and beige - a nude find

The combination of mustard color with beige and other colors of the nude palette in the interior is an almost perfect combination. Discreet base shades of cream, pastel peach, very light taupe and muted yellow-beige are good for their tractability. They are great in any interior style, especially if it is classic, eclectic, art deco or modern. Even if everything around is beige, a bright yellow-green spot somewhere in a picture or other decor will never make it worse, only better and more interesting. nine0003

Mustard in the finish

Walls - a little mustard for a masterpiece

Mustard walls in the interior of luxury real estate can be found infrequently. As a rule, designers resort to more complex combinations, adding only a little yellow-green tint to the surface in a certain part. For example, in the picture of wallpaper or some kind of decorative coating like 3D panels. Still, it is not recommended to completely paint the wall with mustard, unless it is blurred to an almost invisible translucent shade. nine0003

A thin vertical stripe of mustard color looks playful on the wall in the children's room - a modern interior

Ceiling - neat and unobtrusive

The ceiling is trickier. Ceilings are generally rarely painted in a certain color. Exceptions are complex architectural projects with multi-level elements. Mustard color will visually reduce the height of the room. But if the ceilings are very high and there are oriental notes in the interior, then it will be just right, especially when classic details are still present in the design project. Be unobtrusive and creative. nine0003

Gender - more mustard if it's the highlight

Mustard color is found in nature not only in the form of the plant itself, from which the famous hot sauce is made. Yellow-green with golden nuances can strongly resemble mustard in color if it is, for example, a natural stone. A floor made of such material will look great in the interior of a minimalist kitchen, adding some abundance, beauty and charm to the design. nine0003

Armchairs are good in pairs

Upholstered furniture, covered with fabric in a complex color, almost always stands apart, taking the maximum attention of the beholder. A mustard-colored sofa or sofa in the interior is a popular move to create a bright accent, and paired items, such as armchairs, are in no way inferior in this. But even if there is only one chair in a similar shade, this will be enough, the yellow-green color does not require support. nine0003

Wardrobes - if only a small element

Cabinet furniture and mustard - also yes! If the style of an elite interior is minimalism, modern, modern, loft and other popular trends of recent decades. It is not surprising that even a small yellow-green speck on the closet will make its own adjustments to the artistic composition: it will cheer you up and please the eye. Ideal for creating a child's room. nine0003

Decor in mustard colors

Pictures - the most common variant

There are no other decorative elements with yellow-green shades. The best option for introducing a mustard-colored interior as an accessory would be a picture. And made in any style of fine art: Renaissance, Baroque, Classicism, Impressionism, Expressionism, Cubism, Modernism, Neoclassicism, Pop Art, Romanticism, Realism, Surrealism, Symbolism, etc.

A mustard-colored painting on the wall in a classic beige office is a good way to make the interior not boring.

Toys - a great variety in both children's and adult bedrooms

If toys in a children's room are natural, then in the adult bedroom of a teenager they are much less common. But now a new creative move of designers has become a game of contrasts, and this is not about the palette or style of the interior, but about the decor. Interesting toys from Marvel or DC comics in a mustard shade will magically decorate even a stunningly expensive interior. They also have a plus - they are easy to replace with something else: even more creative or, conversely, classic. nine0003

Books are a bright spot in the interior

A modern office or library in a classic style, ennobled with magazines or books in unusual color covers - this is what real design creativity looks like. Bookinistry in complex shades, harmonizing with each other, will make the atmosphere of the room pleasant and add playfulness to the slice. Literary publications in mustard, pale yellow, dirty orange, dark brown and dusty green look great on the shelves. nine0003

Crockery - plates are especially good

Decorative plates on the wall or somewhere on display shelves behind glass set - the property of any elite dining room. The more expensive the service or paraphernalia in this room, the richer and more luxurious the interior looks. Miniature saucers in non-standard nuances look very unusual, elegant and luxurious, among which the yellow-green color most often wins. It causes appetite and at the same time does not irritate a person during a meal (if you compare it with the same bright yellow nuance). Mustard cuisine is something! nine0003

Sofa Cushions - For a Greater Accent

A few mustard-colored sofa cushions next to the classic basic shades (dark brown, graphite, light beige, etc.) will take on the role of an accent in a rich interior of a house or apartment. Textile items in a complex palette are especially good next to furniture in a similar range. A few decorative pillows and a couple of armchairs - voila, the room sparkled with new colors and added delight. nine0003

Carpets - detailed with intricate patterns

Yellow-green colors add character to interiors, especially when mixed with beiges, greys, nudes and pastels. Long thick curtains or a large mustard-colored carpet in the interior will richly decorate the classic style, and if the fabric itself is made in a heterogeneous palette with intricate shades and intricate patterns, even better. nine0003

What interior styles look best with mustard color?

Classic is surprising, but true

It is rather difficult to find classics in their pure form among modern design projects, since they are most often found in some kind of symbiosis - in eclectic interiors. But there are exceptions, of course. Yes, the most traditional historical style is very friendly with mustard shades, only they, as a rule, tend not to brightness and saturation, but to paleness and neutrality, so as not to stand out from the overall composition. nine0003

Eclectic - always welcome

Eclectic design is very diverse, most often has classic and modern details. Therefore, mustard color is very suitable for him, which, one might say, is gradually becoming universal. A similar shade is easy to find on furniture and on the walls. But usually it manifests itself in decorations or small, almost point-like, elements. Here is how it is in the photo below: a thin strip of yellow-green in the picture makes its own adjustments to the overall palette, but does not stand out from the composition conceived by the graphic designer. nine0003

Neoclassic – straight to the point

Modern classic incorporates features not only of classic interior styles (Renaissance, Classicism, Baroque, Rococo, etc.), but also innovative details of the new generation trends, and quite diverse ones at that. The aristocratic neoclassical design with mustard notes will only cheer up the design, where natural materials, expensive finishes and fashion accessories are present. nine0003

Art Nouveau - modern and stylish

Art Nouveau often features natural materials and natural tones. This direction, as a rule, is characterized by plant motifs. Therefore, the mustard color, which in itself has a natural origin, will come in handy. Art Nouveau is only playing into the hands. A few yellow-green touches in a base gray or beige composition will enhance the design project and make it inviting. nine0003

Ethnicity - the very place

Ethnic style is too many-sided in its manifestations, especially for luxury real estate. Mustard color is perhaps best suited to this distinctive and exotic trend, which can contain details from Morocco, China, Japan, Egypt, India, Nepal and other countries with a long history. In ethnic style, yellow-green is often found in combination with chocolate, fawn, dirty orange, gray-blue, burgundy, dusty pink and other muted or impure tones. nine0003

Oriental — 1000 and one night

Oriental is considered one of the most status trends in interior design of the last few decades. VIP-accommodation really like to create with the help of elements inherent in the cultures of various Asian countries. The style from there does not just incorporate luxurious details brought literally and figuratively from afar, he generally loves everything non-standard and causing genuine interest. Mustard color in this case is not only appropriate, moreover, it is long-awaited and fits perfectly into the project.
