25-12-2024

A kitchen with red cabinets is a great way to bring personality into your home and create a natural talking point for guests. There’s a wide variety of shades to choose from and endless options for where to use them.

From a two-toned look to all-over red and even a red island as a statement piece, there’s sure to be the perfect combination of just the right shade for your kitchen. Below, you’ll find the most inspiring red kitchen ideas to help you transform the appearance of your existing kitchen or inspire a total remodel.

Pair Bold, Orange-Red Cabinets With Light Colored Walls and Floors and a Touch of Visual Texture

This stunning red island serves as the visual anchor for this kitchen, standing dramatically apart from the white walls and floor. Boldly veined marble countertops bring additional personality, especially when paired with the framed artwork on the wall.

The painted ceiling is the ideal counterbalance to the deep red cabinets, allowing the shade to feel even more at home. Brass or stainless steel appliances would pair wonderfully with this color palette, though white appliances aren’t out of the question either.

Muted Brick Kitchen Cabinets and White Countertops in a Historic Space

The beautiful historic space with rounded windows that let in an abundance of daylight is enhanced with a gorgeous shaker kitchen with muted brick red cabinets placed on the lower section only. The upper part of the wall is painted in an off-white paint color, complementing the white countertops, gold hardware, and white hood.

The warm wood kitchen island and the stainless steel appliances bring a lovely variety to the color and material palette used in the design.

Use Brick-Red Cabinets in a Cozy, Traditional Kitchen to Embrace a Farmhouse Style

If you prefer a more natural tone as opposed to a bright red, brick-red cabinets are the answer. This traditional L-shaped kitchen is full of warm wood tones, creating a cozy and inviting environment.

Light wood shelves and grey walls add a lovely contrast to the rich tones found in the lower cabinets, floor, and dining table. The vintage glass and bronze chandelier provides a certain level of charm to the kitchen that is unmatched by modern lighting fixtures.

Set Dramatic Red-Brown Cabinets Against a Historic Floor and Antique Accents

Similar to the previous example, this red kitchen is bursting with rustic appeal. However, instead of a simple farmhouse design, this kitchen embraces a more historic, almost colonial, aesthetic. Deep brown-red cabinets and white countertops create an eye-catching contrast, and antique decor cements the 1800s inspiration.

This kitchen is sure to be a fun talking point for guests and will delight everyone who enters it by subverting their expectations. The traditional square tile floor completes this look, tying everything together in a way that another material wouldn’t be able to.

Combine Vibrant Pink-Red Cabinets, Retro Appliances, and Granite Countertops for a Funky Kitchen Design

These dark salmon cabinets paired with granite countertops create a modern look that’s balanced beautifully with the retro-style refrigerator and light fixture. This combination results in an exciting room that’s cheery and free-spirited.

The pop of blue in the artwork on the counter draws the eye in, providing a starting point for it to travel through the space. Recessed shelves serve as the perfect location for decorative touches, and the natural wood floor creates a more relaxed air.

A Natural Light Wood Floor and Pale Red Cabinets for an Earthy, Relaxing Kitchen Space

A new kitchen with red cabinets doesn’t have to be busy and dramatic. This kitchen uses worn, pale red-brown paint on the cabinets, paired with gray countertops, for a subdued appearance. Stainless steel appliances and an L-shaped design support the easy-going feel of the room, while durable wood flooring stands ready to endure the tests of time.

An abundance of natural light pouring in through the window and door of the kitchen brightens the space and allows for minimal, unintrusive light fixtures to be added where needed.

Pair Rich Red Cabinets With a Blend of Materials and Textures for a Kitchen That’s Unique

For a kitchen that’s completely unique to your home, try a creative mix of materials not often seen in interiors. Burgundy wood cabinets, concrete, and scalloped tiles make up the majority of this kitchen’s stunning visuals.

This wealth of textures delight the senses and showcases the bold personality of the homeowner. Old-school appliances and bare lightbulbs reinforce the hand-built and designed aesthetic of the kitchen, making for an appealing space.

Use Red Kitchen Cabinets as a Transition Piece Between Light Colored Walls and Dark Flooring

Smooth beige walls and a black herringbone floor are practically opposites and can make for a jarring experience when initially entering a room if not handled correctly. However, dark red kitchen cabinets can act as the perfect stepping point between these two extremes.

This example kitchen uses a dramatic color palette and traditional design ideals to make an exciting space packed with various dark shades. The farmhouse sink further expands on the old-world feel of this kitchen and provides a touch of brightness to the cabinets.

Enhance a Mid-Century Modern Style With Soft Red-Orange Paint and Pops of Color

A mixture of solid surface countertops and two different cabinet colors can transform your contemporary kitchen into a mid-century modern wonder.

By having the island be a different color and its countertop a different material, there’s a sense of depth created that highlights the square footage of this kitchen. A couple of pops of blue and yellow draw the eye, keeping it moving through the space.

Allow a Traditional, Rustic Kitchen to Thrive With Dark Cherry Cabinets and Lots of Natural Wood

Maintain the heritage of your traditional kitchen by adding minimal updates, such as stainless steel appliances, and allowing all the natural wood to shine.

These dark cherry cabinets are timeless, perfectly suiting the historic features of the room. Glass front cabinets could be used in place of the wall-mounted dish rack for an additional modern touch, though that relies on personal preference.

Highlight a Bold Color Choice by Using Contrasting Red Cabinets and a Dramatic Marble Floor

Flat panel cabinets, sometimes called shaker cabinets, look incredible in every shade, though they stand out particularly well when built in a deep red-toned finish and paired with a mustard wall and dark marble floor.

Brass or copper cabinet hardware and pans will pair well with this palette, as will worn clays and solid blacks. White grout surrounding the large marble slabs provides much-needed contrast to the floor.

Bring Depth to Bright and Airy Kitchen Designs With Complementary Red Cabinets

A high-ceiling kitchen with loads of natural light is the ideal backdrop to dark-colored cabinets. Light tan tones fill the space, creating an airy, natural feel that’s like a breath of fresh air.

In a similarly refreshing take on the common white subway tile backsplash, this kitchen takes the tiles and turns them vertically before running them up the wall. All of this comes together to result in a kitchen that won’t soon go out of style.

Deep, Rich Red Kitchen Cabinets for an Effective Focal Point

The red kitchen cabinets in the example below act as a visual anchor to this light-toned kitchen space. This styling results in a kitchen that feels grounded and planned by an experienced designer.

This design can be easily mimicked with little to no changes, though the small back lip of the countertop could be replaced with a taller white backsplash for a similar look that offers more protection for your walls.

A dark wood kitchen and dark accent furniture pieces for a cozy effect

22-12-2024

The warm hardwood flooring in this apartment for sale in Sweden (Styled by Isabella Seger, photographed by Walti Hosli for Entrance Makleri) lends itself to a darker color palette, which brings a slightly moody effect to the interior. The dark wood kitchen is the focal point of this apartment and its L-shaped layout with an island in the middle fills the entire space for lots of storage opportunities and worktop space.

The adjacent living room is decorated in a light color palette, with a few darker furniture pieces that add a lovely contrast to the setting.

The walls of the apartment are painted in a subtle warm grey, allowing the carefully selected furniture pieces, fabrics, and accessories to stand out.

The walnut kitchen cabinets are slightly darker than the hardwood flooring in the kitchen and add an impressive effect to the apartment. The cabinets are paired with a white stone countertop, which pairs well with the light wall color in the kitchen.

The L-shaped kitchen layout allows for the bigger appliances to be stored on the left, while still allowing for lots of countertop space in the rest of the kitchen. The large kitchen island with seating in the middle of the space allows for a breakfast bar created with two dark bentwood bar stools.

The small bar trolley in the corner of the kitchen pairs well with the beige curtains and holds a beautiful table lamp to add coziness at night.

11 Stunning Limestone Bathroom Ideas to Add a Natural and Luxurious Touch

18-12-2024

Limestone is a sedimentary rock that is formed when seashells, coral, and other marine debris accumulate over millions of years. This durable natural stone is a popular choice for tile and other interior finishes. However, it is a porous stone so it needs to be sealed for proper care and maintenance. If you’re thinking of changing the look of your bathroom, limestone can transform this space in a major way.

From chic limestone tiles on the bathroom floor to sleek stone shower walls, these limestone bathroom ideas will inspire you to add a natural, luxurious touch to any space. Check out these beautiful, creative concepts to help you get excited about your next bathroom renovation.

Large Limestone Wall Tiles Lend a Modern Vibe

In this bathroom, the designer chose to apply large limestone tiles to the wall. The oversized shape and sleek design give the space a decidedly modern, luxe style and a high-end aesthetic.

Note how the vanity top material is a bit different in terms of color and texture. This creates a visually stunning juxtaposition that breaks up the room so it’s elegant rather than monotone.

Make it Match with Similar Tile Throughout

For this design, the limestone tiles cover the walls and the floors, and they also surround the sink for a sleek, cohesive look. Installing the same tile throughout the bathroom gives this space a feeling of cohesion and warmth.

The use of matte black fixtures and a matte black mirror helps to make the tile pop and adds a nice visual contrast.

Incorporate Natural Materials

While limestone itself is a natural material, adding other natural materials gives a bathroom a welcoming, earthy feel. For this design, light brown wood was chosen for the vanity and to frame the large mirror.

The use of woven rattan baskets adds convenient storage, and they help to warm things up so the sleek, shiny surface of the limestone doesn’t feel too cold.

Go For the Gray

Limestone tile comes in a wide range of colors, and gray is a great choice for modern bathroom designs. The large tile in this space features unique shades of gray throughout that give it a sleek, contemporary look.

Adding the same tile to the shower ceiling not only protects it but also makes the shower look and feel much more luxurious. A “floating” toilet keeps it off the floor and allows the limestone to shine.

Use Limestone Tile as an Accent

While limestone is mostly found throughout this bathroom, a piece is used as a backsplash accent on one wall. A wide strip of limestone tile placed just underneath the mirror and behind the sink brings a touch of texture to the room.

When added against the stark white wall, this section of tile stands out and gives the bathroom a beautiful finishing touch. The designer could have chosen not to include it here, but adding it helps to tie the bathroom together quite nicely.

Update a Guest Bath with Limestone

Other stones like granite and travertine also look lovely in bathrooms, but limestone has a very distinct appeal. You can use it as flooring and wall tiles to finish a guest bathroom and give the space a nice, luxurious touch.

The skylight in this particular space adds a bath of natural light that shines directly onto the limestone below for a sleek, reflective finish that makes using limestone an excellent choice here.

Go Dark and Earthy

Darker-colored stone was used in this bathroom for a rustic, earthy environment. The dark gray color and large square limestone tile make this an interesting design choice. Large exposed wood beams add a ton of drama to this unique master bath.

A large, raw chunk of stone serves as a step into the soaker tub for a truly unique finishing touch. Fortunately, two large windows in this bathroom bring in natural light so it doesn’t feel too dark and brooding.

Create a Two-Toned Bathroom with Different Stone Colors

Lighter-colored limestone tile adorns the floors, shower, and walls in this sleek modern bathroom. Meanwhile, a much darker black and white stone tops the vanity and sink to complement the black cabinet.

While this bathroom has mostly ivory and white features, the addition of black here and there gives it a bold, two-toned look. Note how the black fixtures, faucets, and accents add to the dramatic visual contrast.

Use Limestone Tile as Shower Shelving

This sleek limestone shower has a modern, monochromatic look. Sections of the same tile were also added to one corner of the shower to serve as handy shelves.

Instead of using a cheap-looking, traditional shower caddy, the homeowner chose to install tile for shelving so that everything looks neater and more uniform. This is also a great option for those with small spaces who need extra storage.

Go Bold with Big Tiles

The oversized rectangle limestone tiles in this bathroom help to make a strong statement. A portion of the wall is recessed, and white tile was installed here for a storage shelf and a beautiful touch of contrasting color.

The vanity top is also a different color stone featured in black and white for a playful pop. Not how a small strip of that same black tile was also added to the bottom of the white stone shelf to give it a nice tie-in.

Have Fun With the Details

The tiles in this bathroom are beautiful, but it’s the many other details that make this space so special. Wood cabinets and a matching wood vanity warm things up and give the room a welcoming, calming, spa-like feel.

Integrated LED lighting around the large mirror isn’t just a convenient feature — it also gives the bathroom a warm glow and a modern touch. Double sinks feature the same limestone tile to match, which helps to make this bathroom a beautiful, well-designed space.

A historic apartment with a green kitchen and a vintage touch

15-12-2024

This turn-of-the-century apartment for sale in Sweden (Styled by Lindholm Design, photographed by Frederic Boukari for Historiska Hem) has a unique and characterful interior style brought on by the mix of vintage furniture pieces, art prints, and accessories.

The dining room with the vintage dining table and chairs seems to be the center of the apartment. From this space, you can access the kitchen and living room.

The kitchen has green cabinets paired with a wood countertop and the window frames are painted in the same color as the cabinets for an impressive effect.

The warm wood of the vintage dining table and chairs stands out against the white walls in the dining room. The beautiful and large gallery wall spreads across an entire wall and on top of the doorway towards the kitchen.

The cupboard is great for holding plates and cups and it brings a little bit of the green color of the kitchen into the dining room.

From the other side of the room, you can peek into the living room.

The hallway bookshelf can be seen from the dining room as well. It’s framed by the beautiful historic doorway details.

The green paint used on the kitchen cabinets is used on the kitchen window frames as well, which gives the space a cohesive look. The hardwood flooring in the kitchen is painted into a checkered pattern and the partly exposed brick wall adds a rustic touch to the setting.

The kitchen is built in front of the window sill, which lies a little lower. The window sill is great for keeping plants and some candles.

The living room is decorated quite modestly, with the red chairs and the blue sofa standing out in the white palette.

The bedroom lies right next to the living room and is painted with a subtle grey wall color with green undertones, accentuated by the big green plant in the bedroom corner.

The bed is flanked by two large custom wardrobes painted in a similar shade as the walls. Beige bedding, a beige headboard, and black wall lamps fit perfectly in between the two wardrobes.

10 Full Wall Wardrobe Ideas for Stylish and Functional Bedroom Spaces

11-12-2024

Finding the right amount and type of storage space can be challenging if you’re into fashion or own a lot of clothes. A full-wall wardrobe offers unique, versatile storage that’s neatly arranged like a wall-to-wall closet. This storage design is ideal for anyone with a plethora of clothing, shoes, and accessories who need adequate storage without making their bedroom look and feel cluttered.

Whether you’re building a new home from the ground up or currently looking for creative ways to expand your storage, there are plenty of great ideas to get you inspired. Check out these full-wall wardrobe ideas that will help you create a stylish, functional bedroom space you’ll love.

Make it Monochromatic

This wall-to-wall closet features an earthy terra cotta color that matches the bedroom walls. This creates a feeling of calm and serenity that’s perfect for any bedroom. Notice how even the cabinet knobs are painted the same color in the picture.

A simple, monochromatic design evokes a feeling of simplicity, even if there are plenty of items hiding behind the doors. This style works well if your wardrobe features textured or raised doors and you don’t want to add extra decor or pictures. It’s also a good choice for those looking to design a simple, quiet retreat.

Make it Cozy with Dark Colors

If you want your room to look and feel like a cozy cave, darker colors are a good choice. The deep blue of this full-wall wardrobe makes the entire bedroom feel like an undersea retreat. A wall sconce right next to the bed adds lighting whenever you want to lie down and snuggle with a good book before bedtime.

TIP: Add adjustable shelves behind the doors for maximum storage and versatility.

Get Creative with Baskets

In this room, the wardrobe features a combination of storage options including open shelves. The homeowner chose to add woven baskets for a perfect place to store a variety of things like bags, shoes, and other accessories for easy access. If baskets aren’t your thing, it’s an optimal design for books, movies, and other media, too.

Intricate white crown molding in this bedroom adds a beautiful yet subtle visual contrast. The plush velvet headboard brings in a softer texture that plays nicely against the starkness of the wood built-ins and doors. A tall, ladder placed against the wall is great for reaching the upper shelves, yet it also serves as a great spot for folded blankets.

Make the Most of Every Inch

Traditional armoires are standalone furniture that can typically be moved whenever and wherever you desire. However, a full-wall wardrobe is usually attached to the wall so it stays put. In this example, there’s a bit of space above the cabinets where the homeowner added several baskets in different sizes for some charming storage and decor.

A full-length mirror resting against the wall gives you a place to check out your outfit before leaving for the day. The door handles also double as hooks for purses and tote bags. You can swap the baskets here for houseplants, artwork, or decorative items if you want to bring in a different component to the room.

Mix and Match

Full-wall wardrobes don’t have to consist of just cabinets and doors. This homeowner installed a wardrobe with added features like drawers and a built-in mirror. Not only does this make the wardrobe more functional, but it also gives it the appearance of a separate piece of furniture rather than an architectural detail.

If your bedroom is small, this design works well to substitute for traditional furniture like dressers and nightstands. You’ll also get the convenience of drawers that can come in quite handy, especially if your room doesn’t have a separate closet for clothes.

Make the Most of Lighting

In this bedroom, the full wall wardrobe boasts a gorgeous deep blue hue, lots of doors, and drawers of different sizes for maximum organization. However, what really sets it apart is the use of lighting inside. A bright LED light turns on when the door opens so it’s easier to find clothes and other items quickly.

Not only does adding light to your wardrobe save time, it’s also quite convenient. You can install simple LED light strips or USB-rechargeable lights that are motion-activated for an affordable, easy upgrade that gets functional results.

Keep Things Simple

If you have a small bedroom but want to stay organized, the simpler your wardrobe is, the better. This picture shows just a few closet doors that likely open to some hanging rods or shelving. It helps you keep things out of the way while getting ample storage without overdoing it.

Decorative handles on the large wardrobe doors help to add some texture and a fun, modern touch. This is a simple system that makes keeping your bedroom tidy easy without sacrificing style. A big window next to the bed brings in lots of natural light to make the smaller room look and feel larger.

Incorporate Sliding Doors to Save Space

Sliding doors like a barn door or pocket door can help make any room larger. It’s also a good option for a wall-to-wall closet if the door leads to another room, like the bathroom or a living space. These doors slide from side to side rather than opening inward or outward to free up floor space.

Go Floor-to-Ceiling

In this bedroom, the wardrobe includes larger, wider cubbies above the lower cabinets that reach the ceiling. This is a perfect way to store larger items like comforters and blankets, sweaters, or even holiday decorations. If you’re adding a wall-to-wall closet like this, making the most of every square inch is the best way to get as much storage as possible.

Substitute a Traditional Closet with a Wardrobe

Instead of a standard closet or a larger walk-in closet, this homeowner chose to install a complete wall-to-wall wardrobe. Tall, slender doors provide easy access to clothes, and the light gray color adds a touch of modern sophistication. This example shows you can get the storage you need without sacrificing space or style.

A modern attic apartment decorated in a beige and black palette

10-12-2024

This modernized attic apartment for sale in Sweden (photographed by Anders Bergstedt for Alvhem) is decorated in a neutral palette of beiges, enhanced with black accents in the furniture pieces for a strong effect. The wall-to-wall shaker kitchen with beige cabinets and chrome hardware defines the living kitchen.

The rest of the space includes a round black dining table and chairs and a small sofa underneath the sloped roof.

The bedroom has a paneled headboard that stands out against the beige accent wall and the same cabinetry used for the kitchen also comes back as a custom wardrobe in this space.

The beige shaker cabinets add a warm touch to the modern attic apartment, especially with the combination of the warm limestone countertop.

The chrome hardware and faucet add a modern elegance to the kitchen, while the black dining table and chairs add a powerful element of contrast to the space. The spot in front of the window is also ideal for having dinner with a view over the nearby rooftops.

The kitchen is spread over an entire wall, however, on the other side you can find a few pantry cupboards built into a small niche space.

A small sofa area underneath the sloped roof

Opposite the kitchen, you can find a small sofa packed underneath the sloped roof. This section is also used to access the bedroom, hence the compact layout.

The attic bedroom has a lot of nooks and sloped angles, making it a little bit more difficult to decorate. The beige accent wall behind the bed is enhanced with a paneled headboard and two black accent side tables for a powerful effect.

14 Stunning Herringbone Tile Bathroom Ideas for Every Style

04-12-2024

Herringbone tile is not actually a type of tile, but rather a pattern. This unique design features thin tiles laid at an angle to create a whimsical zigzag pattern that resembles the skeleton of a herring (a type of fish). You’ve probably seen herringbone tiles in a kitchen before, but what about bathrooms?

If you need some inspiration, these stunning herringbone tile bathroom ideas are suited to every design style. From the sleek and modern to the luxe and elegant, check out these amazing ideas for inspiration that’ll motivate you to update your bathroom.

Add Deep Brown Herringbone Tile in an Off-White Bathroom

The soft off-white walls are instantly contrasted by the dark brown herringbone tile in this space. Use darker-colored tiles if you want to make your bathroom pop. Choosing to go darker on the floors helps to “break up” this bathroom, and the herringbone pattern adds a sense of elegance.

Use a Herringbone Tile Pattern From the Floor to Along the Wall

Light gray stone herringbone tiles cover the bathroom floor and walls to give this space a sleek, luxurious look. Notice how the gray herringbone pattern is cohesive in the bathroom, yet another herringbone pattern is featured in the adjacent room.

In the next room, the homeowner installed wood herringbone floors so that everything flowed together nicely while still showing the difference between the two spaces.

Try a Marbled Herringbone Pattern on the Bathroom Floor and Shower Walls

Luxe tones of green and gray give this herringbone tile a contemporary vibe. The homeowner chose to install the marbled herringbone pattern on the shower walls and the floors for a sleek and seamless flow.

Doing this also creates a clean look that makes the bathroom feel well thought out and nicely put together.

Herringbone Tiles as an Accent in an All-Marble Bathroom

Marble tile completely covers just about every inch of this space. However, most of the bathroom features gray and white subway tile, except for the shower floor. Adding the same marble tile but in a herringbone pattern adds a fun touch and gives the shower area a fun, funky touch.

27-11-2024

Sage green is a warm, earthy color that brings a welcoming, natural vibe to any room. This muted hue has hints of gray and brown undertones, making it a versatile choice for most spaces, including the kitchen. If you’re thinking of updating your cooking space, consider adding sage green.

Whether you’re doing a complete remodel or just want to make some simple changes, these inspiring ideas for sage green kitchen walls will inspire you. From sage green paint on kitchen cabinets to unique wall colors, keep these lovely sage green kitchen ideas in mind if you’re planning to elevate your own kitchen.

Use Different Types of Paint for Unique Texture

In this kitchen, sage green paint was used to color the cabinets and wainscotting on the walls. However, a limestone wash behind the stove gives the room a subtle contrast and a slightly different texture.

The ceiling is painted bright white to help the sage green paint colors pop. Stainless steel appliances and white stone countertops lend this kitchen a modern, sleek finishing touch.

Highlight Sage Green with Touches of Brass

Warm, earthy green hues make this kitchen a welcoming and delightful space. However, it’s the addition of brushed brass that really helps the beautiful green kitchen cabinets and walls stand out. From cabinet handles to appliances, light fixtures, and faucets, just the right amount of brass works well to showcase the warm green tones.

White and gray marbled stone also does a good job of playing off of the kitchen’s main green hue.

Make Sage the Star of the Show

The bright white ceiling and white walls in the rest of the space help draw attention to the sage feature wall, which is also where most of the action happens in this space.

Black industrial lights above the counters bring the kitchen a unique touch, and gray marble lends it a luxurious, beautiful pop of texture and contemporary color.
