Where Charm Meets Functionality: Bistro Kitchen Design

This design features a series of tiled arcs that give a chic spin on an otherwise traditional barrel-vaulted ceiling. You can throw in encaustic cement tiles to achieve the air of a French bistro. Add intriguing details and embellishments to gain character while ensuring you create kitchen cabinets with plenty of storage. Bistro kitchen cabinetry, kitchen countertops, and backsplashes give you exceptional opportunities to incorporate stylized personal touches.

Taking a “Nook” at Banquette Seating

You can create a cozy and spacious kitchen space with banquette seating. Banquettes can be freestanding pieces of furniture or built-in. From a design perspective, banquettes provide very efficient use of space, especially in small kitchens. It allows you to eliminate the need for some of the clearances you would require with a table and chairs. This allows for comfortable seating in areas where a table and chairs wouldn’t fit in due to space challenges. Also, enhance its visual interest with an array of throw pillows and high shelves. High shelves specifically will come in handy when displaying your kitchen collections. You can also enhance the visual interest of the room by coordinating the seating with your kitchen lighting to create a warm, inviting atmosphere.

Spacing Out with an Open Plan Kitchen Design

Open design is ideal for a kitchen that opens up into the main living room. Throw in a large-sized table that can accommodate holiday dinners, game nights, and your most significant projects! Ensure to keep the vibe modern, casual, and relaxed using a black and white striped rug. You can also add an oversized drum shade.
