Is It Time To Bring Texture Back Into Your Kitchen?

Posted on August 16, 2022August 16, 2022 by At Home With Joanna

For years, the typical kitchen trend has focused on neat, bright kitchens with ornate detailing. A modern take on a classic kitchen, this style is perfect for many homes.

However, in recent years, people have started to bring in details that are a little more urban. From brick walls to concrete countertops, there are a lot of ways you can bring texture into your kitchen and transform it into a modern, stylish space.

Could your kitchen benefit from a little detail? Here are some ideas for bringing texture back into your kitchen.

Expose some walls

One of the easiest ways to bring texture into your home is to expose some walls. Original brickwork in a home can be a striking feature, and with the help of some whitewashing or paintwork, you can create a brick wall that suits your taste to a tee.

Getting the exposed wall look isn’t always easy and may depend on the construction of your home. A demolition contractor could help you clear away what’s needed, and could even help you create additional space in your kitchen. You can also fake a brick wall by building your own. Or, you can use textured wallpaper for a simple solution that will help you achieve the desired look.

Say goodbye to pastels and hello to new darker tones

Pastel tones have been a popular choice for kitchens in recent years, but if you want something a little more modern, you could switch things up. Urban kitchen styles, for example, are incredibly stylish. They create a loft-inspired look that’s easy to maintain and benefits from sleeker lines. Bringing in dark shades of gray, blue, and green can create a striking look. Paired with wooden panels and stone countertops alongside metallic accessories, you’ll have a kitchen to impress in no time.

Keep details minimal to highlight your details

A modern kitchen should be minimal to keep things clean and simple. Cabinets and drawers without handles can help you create clean lines, while a range of hidden storage solutions will help you keep your space free from clutter. 

A minimalist approach will also make your kitchen easier to maintain. This means less cleaning in order for you to keep your space looking its best!

Use accessories to create a more industrial feel

The accessories you choose for your kitchen will help add to the industrial feel. Light fittings can help you create a bit of detail when using steel and black designs that feature bold, yet simple shapes. Keep your appliances sleek and modern – they should blend in with your kitchen, instead of standing out. Avoid having too many fussy items around that could cause a clash between styles.

With the right styling, you can transform your kitchen and help give it a sleek, more modern look. There are a lot of ways to add texture to your walls, floors, and kitchen units that will give your space a contemporary facelift. Get your Pinterest board ready and start planning your new on-trend kitchen.
