Keeping things simple doesn’t mean you have to paint everything white — unless you want to. It just means that you don’t want too many design elements competing for attention in your small kitchen. Consider going for a monochromatic look by choosing one color family for your cabinet paint, countertop appliances and dinnerware. Alternatively, replace your raised-panel cabinet doors with sleeker slab doors. Their smooth surfaces can help the room feel more streamlined. If you’re planning a bigger remodel, consider getting a refrigerator and dishwasher sheathed in paneling that matches your cabinets to conceal the appliances completely.
Solid wood is often considered the best cabinet material as it provides the most natural beauty and durability. It also comes in a wide range of colors and styles, so it gives you some design freedom to express your distinct tastes. There is a range in cost of wood cabinets depending on the type of wood chosen.
Countertop
A countertop, also counter top, counter, benchtop, worktop or kitchen bench, is the firm, flat, horizontal surface of a counter. They are built for work in kitchens or other food preparation areas, bathrooms or lavatories, and workrooms in general. The surface is frequently installed upon and supported by cabinets, positioned at an ergonomic
height for the user and the particular task for which it is designed. A countertop may be constructed of various materials with different attributes of functionality, durability
and aesthetics, and may have built-in appliances, or accessory items relative to the intended application.
Honed Granite Countertops. A twist on popular polished granite, honed granite gives a soft, matte finish instead of the traditional glossy look. Like polished granite, honed granite is just as resistant to scratching, chipping, cracking and heat, making it one of the most durable kitchen countertop options around.
