Embrace Timeless Elegance with a Neutral Kitchen

If you are looking to create a sophisticated yet understated kitchen that exudes warmth and character, look no further than the design ethos of Shelby Girard, Vice President of Creative and Design at Havenly. Girard advocates the use of natural stone such as marble and quartzite, as well as textured elements such as wood, brass, window treatments, and rugs to create an organic, classic look with subtle hints of Californian cool.

For a touch of glamour and texture, consider incorporating brass pendants, such as those available at Pottery Barn. These exude chic, understated elegance and are perfect for achieving a tasteful, contemporary vibe in your kitchen.

Make a Bold Statement with Colorful Cabinetry

If you like to think outside the box, consider adding a splash of color to your cabinetry to infuse your kitchen with personality. Shelby Girard notes that while bold colors can work well with modern, luxurious, and bohemian aesthetics, it’s essential to choose shades that are timeless rather than trendy. Classic hues such as deep blues, emerald greens, and moody blacks are safe yet impactful choices that will elevate your kitchen's style quotient.

For a quick and easy way to add color, try using high-quality paints, such as those from Benjamin Moore, to create a customized, bold look on your cabinetry.

Create a Cozy Breakfast Nook

Even in a smaller kitchen, a breakfast nook can create a welcoming vibe and add to the indoor-outdoor feel of your space. Designer Alan Tanksley suggests creating a corner-oriented banquette that can provide a stunning view of both the interior of your house and the surrounding landscape. You can add a touch of elegance to your breakfast nook with the Owen Wood Oval Extending Pedestal Dining Table from Pottery Barn.

Opt for Low-Maintenance, Elegant Flooring

Interior designer Mary Patton advocates using durable, affordable materials such as porcelain tiles that resemble marble and exude timeless elegance. For instance, incorporating tiles from Florida Tile's Home Collection Michelangelo Calacatta series creates a chic, sophisticated look, which is easy to maintain and adds a timeless, elegant touch to any kitchen.

Try experimenting with high-gloss accents to add dimension and radiance to your space. Consider Benjamin Moore’s Almost Black, which creates a focal point in a spacious kitchen when used on the island and matched with a high-gloss tile backsplash. According to Andrea Magno, the director of color marketing and development at Benjamin Moore, using a lower sheen on the walls and ceiling can bring another layer of contrast to the space.

Hang adjustable pendants above your kitchen island to create a quirky yet functional design. In the kitchen of Havenly's VP of Creative & Design, Shelby Girard, wicker pendants add a touch of charm and can be positioned in a number of ways or extended straight out. The unexpected bend in the poles adds a unique element to the space.

Adding texture can bring a neutral kitchen to life. Designer Beth Diana Smith incorporated a textured backsplash, framed around the window, to contrast with the white cabinets in a space built around neutral colors. Additionally, the back of the waterfall peninsula was made black, and beautiful walnut counter stools were added to provide more texture and shape to the kitchen.

Reserving upper areas of cabinetry for decorative items can soften the utilitarian feel of a kitchen. Designer Allison Caccoma suggests using decor like flowers and decorative vessels to add interest to the space.

Consider these tips and shop for items like black tiles, woven pendants, neutral tiles, and fruit bowls to bring your kitchen to life.
