  5. Do we want a big free-standing refrigerator/freezer?

Tip #1

Take note of your homeโ€™s architectural style from the exterior for cues, what style is it? A great recommendation is to have hints of your homeโ€™s exterior on the inside. If you have a Cape Cod style exterior, but youโ€™re not necessarily into that style for your decor, you could give it a nod by adding a subtle texture. For example, adding beadboard to an island with a more modern countertop, this will help your whole home feel more put together.

Tip #2

Take stock of your furnishings and accessories. Use styles that fit with the rest of your home. If you tend to choose more traditional furnishings and accessories, your kitchen style should blend with your decor. Select a photo of your happiest memories and take note of color and design details everywhere. Next search through images in magazines or online that displays a similar character.
