Otherwise the space will be weighed down again with the glossy tile and ornate cabinets Classic: Doesn’t have to be subway: / Some notes: If you do decide to change the cabinetry: Focus on removing the panel above the range (and maybe install a SS range hood to match the appliances and break up the wood) Stain the island to match the perimeter finish I wouldn’t swap the columns and corbels at the island or hood, because you’d have to change them everywhere.First, let’s take care of the obvious. Despite the still-persistent narrative that such music is “dead,” there are way more than 50 excellent rock bands out there.Īnd there’s no exact science to scooping the cream of the crop. Swaping for a more reflective tile will help pick up more light (same goal as countertops) Be careful not to get something too glossy. !/design/Smithfield Backsplash – because the cabinets are dark and the finish on the backsplash is matte, they get washed out with the warm lighting. Heavy veining isn’t a bad thing, but assuming the goal is to modernize without altering the ornate cabinets, then updating the countertops with go a long way. Change all the countertops to a lighter countertop with less veining. The lighter finish will help brighten the room and be more cohesive.

Swap Countertops/ Backsplash (Costly, But Effective) Change the center island countertop to match the perimeter.

Change the Pulls (Modern Upgrade) The cabinet hardware fit the style of your kitchen, but some minor updates could help you achieve your goal of more modern/ on trend feel. You could also consider updating the paint to a color that neutralizes the yellow tones in the wood cabinets and floor. or a glazed pendant with similar feel as above Note: I see a lot of people responding with lantern fixture options, but I think this still adds an element of heaviness.

Update the Lighting (Most Effective/Minimal Effort) - Based on the images, the kitchen appears a little dark/yellow. If you do consider spending some money, then I'd suggest three options (without changing making serious changes to cabinets) 1. In my opinion (grain of the smallest speck of salt), I wouldn't change anything if you don't want to spend any money.

I've had white appliances ever since I got rid of my avocado ones (just aged myself!) and they always look just as good years later as when I purchase them, as well as helping to make my kitchen look bright and clean.Īlthough more ornate than the rest of your house, your kitchen fits the overall traditional/European style based on the other images you provided. The tide is turning on it and designers/manufacturers are actually going back to white & black. SS has a lot of problems of it's own - it limits your style, looks poor after a short time, shows fingerprints, smudges and cleaning efforts, etc. As a final note, don't switch to stainless steel just because you think it's trendy. Again, you'll be living with it for a long time. The right backsplash in green could also work but it would have to be just right. I'm not a big fan of beige but I make exceptions for countertops! If you want green, put it on the walls, a piece of furniture (like a cabinet on your long wall) or accessories. The countertop is nice but make sure with it being light that the material won't stain. I'm not a huge fan of the backsplash - it's very heavy looking. It might be 80s and not 'real' art but it does have a nice vibe that really identifies your home as Floridian. If you are getting new cabinets and are looking into a standalone piece over that palm tree, it really would be a nice homage to use the old doors where you can on it. So, if you AREN'T keeping them, I just want to say that I'm a bit sad because I think there is always a place for unique. I read most of the posts and perused the rest and one minute it was keeping the cabinets and the next not and vice versa - or so it seemed. Honestly, I'm a bit lost as to where you are in the process.
