Making your kitchen flow together smoothly is an important aspect for resell value and for personal enjoyment of the area. There are four major aspects to focus on: your cabinets, floors, countertops, and walls.

When designing your kitchen you should determine what feeling you want to invoke in the room. Are you looking to promote a calming feeling, a homely vibe, or sterile? Once you’ve determined your style you can start choosing your cabinets, countertops, floors, and walls. Each segment of the design can improve or hurt your resale value. You want to make sure that you buy quality materials, install them properly, and maintain them.

First we will talk about floors. The best flooring choices for your kitchen are going to blend being durable and being waterproof. Since there’s a lot of spills that can happen in the kitchen, you’ll want to make sure you have an easy to maintain floor so you don’t have to replace your floors as often. For example, you rarely ever see carpet in a kitchen. When picking your flooring color, one thing to keep in mind is that you don’t want to add too much pattern/color everywhere. If you have a highly patterned floor, you may want to choose a more subtle countertop and backsplash.

The next section we’ll discuss is cabinets. Cabinets get a lot of use, so you’ll really want to emphasize durability and proper installation. When choosing your cabinets, you can go a few different ways stylistically: complementary, opposite, or accent. Generally, you’ll see solid colored cabinets as a counterpart to a more accented backsplash or counter. You can also make your cabinets your statement piece by having it as an accent color.

Next, countertops. At All Flooring USA, we have quartz and granite countertops. You can choose your own slab. A great way to make your kitchen stand out beautifully is to make your countertop the center of the design. You could choose a countertop that has multiple colors and then use them to match the cabinets, backsplash, and flooring.You can also make this piece have your primary color, making it stand out that way.

Finally, the walls. For backsplash you can match the colors to your other kitchen pieces, or you can really make it stand out with it’s own design. You can do a mosaic style backsplash with varying colors or sizes, have a solid backsplash, or play around with a different pattern. Tiles are the most common for backsplash due to the ease of cleaning them. There’s so many different styles, textures, colors, and patterns when it comes to tile that you definitely can make the backsplash your own artistic display.

So when breaking down your kitchen design, remember the four key parts: cabinets, floors, countertops, and walls. You can coordinate or make accent pieces. At the end of the day, it needs to be a kitchen that YOU love. A lot of people get stressed making decisions with such an important aspect of their house, which makes a professional the right choice.  You can also have a professional design your kitchen, allowing you to relax while it’s in good hands.
