The Color Choice
If you love color, then going eclectic is both a delight and a challenge for you.Putting together kitchen cabinets, worktops, chinaware and energetic walls in contrasting hues can be a pretty daunting task. Remember that if you are picking more than 4 or 5 colors for your eclectic kitchen, you will need some other element to bind all the conflicting elements together.
Another smart approach is using a colorful backdrop for the kitchen by painting the walls in a bright and unexpected hue, but picking cabinets and decor in a neutral palette.
Smartly Organized – Kitchen
Floating shelves, dependable cabinets and convenient drawers make up a large part of the kitchen and will play a pivotal role in shaping your eclectic culinary space. A smart approach is to keep one of the two elements, the style of the cabinets or their color constant, while playing with the second aspect. This will give the kitchen a curated appeal and a cozier look.
