Your kitchen is the center of your home, and you want it to be functional yet beautiful. There are many ways to show off your aesthetic throughout a kitchen. It all starts with knowing your style and finding some examples. Once you’ve thought about these elements, an interior designer can help pull everything together and create the kitchen of your dreams.
Even though it’s great to have options when brainstorming, it can definitely get a little overwhelming. We recommend checking out Houzz for some inspiration; they have become a great resource for design inspiration.
Begin by Browsing Styles
Houzz allows you to search by style, so whether you’re interested in Country, Modern, Contemporary, or Industrial, you’ll be able to find examples that suit your tastes. You can combine styles, too. There’s no rule that says you need to find a style and stick to it! We take pride in our unique approach and can help you bring different design styles together cohesively.
Use these images as examples when talking with your interior designer, and your project will take shape more quickly, resulting in a successful project.

Consider Your Color Palette
Another important element of your design brainstorming is your color palette. You don’t need to have all elements figured out, but if you have some colors in mind, we’ll be better able to create a design that’s perfect for you.
Because Houzz has so many different projects and examples, you can start finding what your ideal color scheme is. Do you want a mix of beige and white, or some bold statement colors? Considering the color of cabinets and appliances can also help you narrow down your color palette.

Look at the Details
This is also a chance to start thinking about details like knobs and cabinet design. There are many different options for cabinets and knobs, both in style and color, which gives you the chance to truly customize your new kitchen.
For example, you could choose glass door or solid wood cabinets. You could have handles or drawer pulls, with different types of metal to choose from. These details can add little pieces of you and your aesthetic throughout the kitchen.

Your kitchen should be both functional and beautiful, and yet knowing where to begin can feel challenging. But with Houzz, and other sites like Pinterest, you’re able to think through your aesthetic, color palette, and the details before meeting with an interior designer. This can help make the process more efficient and get you your dream kitchen sooner.
