Don’t know where to start in your kitchen remodeling project? Atlanta homeowners often don’t know where to get inspiration from, and sometimes, browsing online or looking at magazines just won’t kick off the creative brainstorming process. At the end of the day, many are just after a design that’s as unique and meaningful, as it is stylish and functional.
Here are five uncommon sources of inspiration to get you started:
1. Paintings
Your kitchen remodeling idea can come from the simplest of things, such as a painting. A painting showcases different elements, whether it be natural, industrial, or structural which can inspire your remodel. Most commonly, paintings also make good patterns for color schemes. Think of the mood or feeling you want to feel when spending time in this part of the home.
2. Tiles
Tile designs are fun to choose from, but have you ever thought of basing off your kitchen remodel on a specific tile design? Get started with browsing patterned tiles, and soon enough, you’ll find patterns, structures, and colors to inspire your kitchen design. You may even end up choosing a specific tile pattern for your floors, backsplash, or counters.
3. Statement pieces
Consider looking at statement pieces that can be a conversation starter or a focal point of your kitchen. Think of it as window shopping and browsing through decor to beautify your space. Functional pieces such as lighting and bar stools and materials that can be used for your cabinets, countertops, and kitchen island can be a springboard to start off your remodeling project. You can also look at decors such as bowls, plates, and even plants and flowers to lend some creativity to your kitchen design.
4. Nature
Some homeowners have their kitchen located near the garden, which is perfect for al fresco dining. Consider making your kitchen windows your design focal point, especially if you have a beautiful view of the outdoors. You may even think of adding new windows or even replacing your windows to let more sunlight in and to have a bigger view of your backyard.
5. Family
Your partner or children may also be a source of inspiration for your kitchen remodel. Think of milestones in your relationship or family life, or recall celebrations or trips through photographs. A local or international travel photo could inspire your design through food, culture, or architecture. Certain gifts or items such as your partner’s favorite watch or child’s favorite toys could also strike some inspiration for your remodel.
Looking at different sources of inspiration for your kitchen remodeling project can help ease the design process. This will also give you fresh eyes and a renewed excitement as you build a new, personalized kitchen that you will treasure for years. Make your design process more meaningful by working with experienced contractors in Atlanta who can help bring your design to life.
