3 Steps to Choosing Kitchen Finishes Wisely
- Start with your countertop
Choose a countertop that’s durable and easy to clean. You should stick with a single countertop material, with a slight variation at the pantry or island, for consistency and simplicity. - Consider the cabinetry
Keep the materials choices as simple and natural as possible. Look for light-colored cabinetry to keep the space open and bright, using other materials in small doses for visual depth and texture. - Use additional finishes to pull the space together
Choose a backsplash color that visually contrasts with the countertop and cabinetry. Make sure the floor colors won’t clash with what’s in the kitchen. Lighting, fixtures, bar stools and hardware can also tie the look of the kitchen together.
