10 Bright Kitchen Design Ideas
1. Go Cream
Cream is a great color choice for your kitchen if you want to move away from white however you don’t want to go to bold or dark. It is a classic color, warming up your kitchen while still being light enough.
2. Go for brass hardware
If you choose to go with a white or cream kitchen then consider brass hardware as this will warm up the space, make the overall look updated and trendy and will warm up your kitchen and give a completely different vibe without changing too much.
3. Add Wood
Adding wood in kitchens is huge right now, whether it be with shelves or a kitchen island. It’s a great way to add warmth and still choose a light color for the cabinets.
4. Try a plaster hood
A plaster hood is a great addition to the kitchen as it is trendy, classic and will make a huge impact on your kitchen! It gives it more of a organic feel adding character and visual interest!
5. Add Modern Touches Like A Stone Ledge
The floating shelves hype seems to have morphed into a simple stone ledge. An extension of your countertop if you will. No worries, floating shelves aren’t going anywhere yet, however a simple stone ledge is a great way to add character and it is super popular at the moment, even though I do think that it is a timeless look.
6. No Upper Cabinets
Another great way to achieve a modern and bright kitchen design is having no upper kitchen cabinets. This makes the space seem bigger and gives for opportunities like a stone ledge, a statement hood and pretty sconces.
7. Consider Wooden Ceiling
I love the idea of a white or cream kitchen but having a wooden paneled ceiling. This is automatically cozy up the space and give it cottage vibes while still having a beautiful white or cream kitchen!
8. Stone Backsplash
If you go for a simple white or cream kitchen then consider doing something different with your backsplash to make your kitchen unique and also make the kitchen pop! Something like organic stone or marbled countertop backsplash are great ways to achieve this!
9. Details Matter
Details do matter, from the kitchen sink, countertop, decor or hardware, they all complete the look of your kitchen and can have a big impact! The photo above shows this perfectly with the beautiful scalloped tile and stunning hardware. All the details are harmonizing together making this space so stunning.
10. Classic Kitchens
There are so many examples of stunning trendy modern kitchen designs that are absolutely stunning but still bright and airy. The picture above is a perfect example of this. The colors are warm but not too dark. The plaster hood and brass hardware is adding to a organic feel and the statement hood makes the perfect statement hood adding so much visual interest.
As you can see there are so many stunning bright beautiful kitchens out there that are modern, trendy and stunning. I hope this post inspired your kitchen design whether you are building, remodeling or dreaming of your future kitchen.
