Interior Design Tips for Kitchens

Back in the day, kitchens were strictly utilitarian. However, modern homes allow creativity and beauty to be mixed in with those traditional kitchen appliances. From fun backsplashes to unique kitchen tables, this room in your home is a wide-open canvas for you to make your own. Of course, if you need a little inspiration, we're here to help. Here are some of our favorite interior design tips for kitchens:

Tip 1: Maximize Your Storage and Seating

Have you ever felt like your kitchen cabinets were on the verge of overflowing? Whether you have a small kitchen or a large one, every homeowner knows how precious space is. That's why one of our interior design tips for kitchens is to double seating as storage. For example, by adding benches that double as storage when the top lid is lifted, you can enjoy subtle storage. With a few cushions on top, this storage unit can be transformed into a space to eat breakfast, write out meals for the week, or complete homework.

Tip 2: Be Picky with Your Lighting

Many homeowners carefully research appliances, flooring, and countertop materials when it comes to the kitchen. While we encourage this type of careful consideration for major features, we also encourage it for smaller features like lighting. From ornate overhead lighting to under-cabinet strips, lighting can transform your kitchen into a brightly lit meal prep station or an ambient eater for date night. Pro tip: Warm-toned bulbs add an inviting glow, especially in kitchens with cooler-toned cabinetry or finishes.

Tip 3: Pick Sturdy, Custom Window Treatments

Is there anything more utilitarian than a kitchen window treatment? Needing to be durable, window treatments in this space are often aesthetically cold. However, Hunter Douglas has a variety of kitchen window treatments that are as durable as they are beautiful. Some of our favorites include:

  • EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds: Ideal for traditional or farmhouse kitchens, these blinds offer a timeless, warm look combined with moisture resistance.
  • Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters: Breezy, coastal, and classic, these shutters are painted with a Polysatin™ compound that prevents them from ever warping, cracking, or fading.
  • Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds: Sleek, modern, and easy to clean, these window coverings for kitchens "bounce back" better than most styles on the market, making them perfect for busy households.
