Establishing The Proper Focal Point For Your Renovated Kitchen.

By Steve Oates

Whether you are anticipating a new kitchen in your newly built home or plan to update your outdated kitchen cabinets one of the key decisions that will be critical to your kitchen dcor is the focal point.

Where do you want people to look when the come into the kitchen for the first time? Ignoring the topic will not change this fact.

Every kitchen has a focal point. One must really think about how they want to accentuate the perfect focal point and we have a few suggestions tucked away in this article to help with your custom cabinet renovation project.

There are several avenues to achieve the perfect focal point. Decoration and design combined with the perfect custom cabinets are the primary ways.

But first let's add more understanding to what we mean when we suggest "focal point". Every room has an area of interest. For every family room the fireplace draws our interest, a home office may have some built in bookcases or unique ceiling but the kitchen honestly is up to the interior decorator or owner. There are many important areas that could offer a focal point.

Those include : the island, stove and cabinets at the top, kitchen sink location, cabinets with clear glass and lit to display the pretty items as my wife likes to say. If you go with a gourmet styled upper by mixing 42" and 36" cabinets you could also grab attention upward especially when combined with several three to four piece crown moldings.

When selecting a focal point it's essential that you contemplate your floor blueprint, storeroom, and functionality. The mistaken focal point can force the area to look smaller, out of place, or even unusual. It may even impair functional compartments. If the focal point doesn't enhance the reaction you want to obtain while establishing a useful kitchen then it's a disturbance. - 29958
