Whatever you are renovating, designing or updating your kitchen, we are sure that this little, special guide will inspire you.

1 Coordinate the sink with the tap and the countertop.

Use the same colour for the sink and the mixer. It is one of the detail that makes the difference. You can also match the sink with the kitchen top for a more intriguing and refined result.

An idea to steal from the Pros: choose a green countertop basin for your kitchen. Then, paint with the same colour all the kitchen doors. The result is simply amazing and your little kitchen will acquire personality and drama.

2 The vintage item

One of the best tricks about decorating is to combine a modern kitchen with a vintage item. It could be an old table or a cabinet but the final stunning effect is guaranteed.

3 Use the same colour for the kitchen and the wall.

Think at your kitchen as a unique, entire wall. You can try to match the wall with the colour of your cabinets, dividing the seamless vertical surface with a marble countertop. In this way your kitchen will be part of the house and not an item completely disconnected with the rest of the space. Don’t be afraid about the backsplash. You can treat the wall with special, washable paints that make the backsplash completely waterproof.

4 Goodbye upper cabinets, welcome shelves

 We often assume that both upper and lower cabinet are necessary but it is not always true. In this case, less is more. Without a doubt, wall mounted cabinets are a useful storage. But a major disadvantage is that upper cabinets make a kitchen seem smaller by closing the space. The layout without upper cabinets will help you to keep on hand only what you really need and you use on a regular basis.

5 Add a focal point (or the unexpected element)

 Without a doubt, add some unusual accessories is the fastest way to refresh the look of your kitchen.
