Room Label

My Kitchen

I want this room to feel more masculine/feminine/neutral

Neutral

What type of sunlight does this room receive?

Mid-day light

What do you currently dislike about the room?

Cramped space, lack of storage, functionality, limited food prep space, dishwasher needs replacing sink leaking, want larger refrigerator/more freezer space. Would like more functional eating space. Sliding door takes up a lot of potential wall and counter space (although we are not looking to replace this necessarily). No pantry/food storage.

What pieces of existing furniture, lighting, art or accessories do you want to keep in the design?

Everything can go! Would like new appliances, new flooring, new lights, new counters, new table/chairs--thinking a bench seat would be cute/functional for storage perhaps!

Are you open to changing your wall colors?

Yes

Do you have a preference for either paint or wall covering, or are you open to both?

Open to both

Are you open to changing your floor covering?

Yes, Tile, Stone, Concrete

Attach a floor plan

Additional comments to designers

We cook nearly every day in the kitchen together so maximizing workspaces so we can do that at the same time without bumping into each other too much is ideal. I make a smoothie nearly every morning with frozen ingredients, mason jar ingredients and refrigerated items so having a station/set up for this is ideal. We have no food/pantry space currently so it ends up on the counter. My husband makes coffee with a French press and electric kettle so another station/set up for this is ideal. We would love a more functional space for eating in the kitchen with potentially a bench seat along the wall adjacent to the sliding door. We like cool tones blues and grays for accent colors. We would like more neutral counters, leaning white or light cabinets and hesitant about but open to dark counter tops (the material must be easy to keep clean! Black granite, for example, will not stay clean/streak free!). All white kitchens feel sterile to me so a fun backsplash with maybe a pop of color would be nice. Would love some ideas/inspiration for what to decorate the cut out/half wall space between kitchen and living room with. I have some sad plants now, but would love to incorporate more greenery!

Kitchen:

Since your room is smaller using a light and pale color will enhance the light and the space in your room

For your main color, we chose to use gray because it is neutral, elegant, and classy. It compliments many colors such as white, blue, and yellow and works well as part of a color scheme in any room.

For walls, use an eggshell finish paint which has a very light touch of shine (similar texture to an eggshell as implied by its name). This finish is very often used for walls and is more durable and easier to clean than matte finish. For trim, use a semi-gloss paint finish as it is ideal for bathrooms and cabinets. It has a slight shine and is easy to clean.
