3 Custom Kitchen Styles | Design Inspiration

If you’re in the early stages of designing your dream kitchen, you understand the excitement and anxiety that comes with determining every detail of your ideal space. Because the design possibilities are virtually endless, it may feel difficult to commit to one direction over another and lead to a creative roadblock.

As a state-of-the-art custom cabinetry firm, we understand that getting started is perceivably the hardest part of the design process for our customers which is why we’ll never let you go through it alone. In addition to working with our talented team of designers, we’ve put together a short list of some of our favorite kitchen design styles to serve as inspiration and help guide your decision-making process.

Coastal

Whether you’re on the water or hundreds of miles inland, creating a cool and breezy coastal kitchen is a great way to breath refreshing life into your new space. Coastal kitchen designs typically feature white framework and cabinetry with accenting colors and hues (blues, teal, shades of pink) that capture the essence of sandy beaches and the relaxing tone of ocean waves. Adding subtle beach themed décor and simplistic, natural furniture is another way to create that ocean vibe in your new space. Below is an example of a stunning coastal kitchen we were able to create for one of our customers.

Farmhouse

Another popular theme, designing a farmhouse-style kitchen is the perfect way to create a space that is warm, inviting, and charming. While the primary focus of farmhouse kitchens is on the rustic and natural elements like antique hardwood floors or exposed wooden beams, it’s the general layout and cooking space, accented with calming and natural hues that creates that “lived-in” level of country comfortability. Like coastal kitchens, including subtle décor and lighting fixtures are great ways to elevate that farmhouse feel like the one we created for our customer below.

Contemporary/Modern

The new classic, a contemporary/modern kitchen design is ideal for conveying 21st-century sleekness while still creating a space that is inviting for your guests. Comprised of characteristically clean features and reflective surfaces, modern kitchens also boast ample seating and eating/cooking spaces that are perfect for hosting. In addition to contemporary cooking amenities, modern kitchen cabinets are typically minimalistic and crisp. We often see white cabinetry and countertops paired with contrasting accents, be it through a dark stained island, or colored seating like those found in the modern kitchen we designed for our customer below.

Design Process

Should you choose to go breezy and coastal or minimalistic and modern, or you decide to mix and match elements from all the above, there is no right or wrong design style—only what works and makes sense for YOU.
