You've heard it before: The kitchen is the heart of the home. That truism makes your kitchen's design an important decision. To get the most bang for your buck, pick a kitchen style that appeals to you, that will add value to your home and not turn off buyers at resale and that makes the kitchen a comfortable, inviting space for your family and guests. Tuscan Tuscan design uses rich colors and textures inspired by Italy's countryside. Greens, golds, browns, reds and purples are all at home in a Tuscan-style kitchen. Stone and wrought iron are also characteristic of Tuscan design. Terra-cotta tile floors add a Mediterranean charm and warmth to the room; alternatively, choose stone or stone-look tiles. For countertops, consider stone or a warm, earthy granite. Cabinets should be wood, and substantial rather than spare. Open shelving is common in this style and gives you a chance to show off brightly colored dishes. Wrought iron can make a big impact in a hanging pot rack or a baker's rack, or it can be in the small touches, such as trivets or a paper towel holder. Choose a luxurious Tuscan color for the stone walls and use stone tile for the backsplash, perhaps with accent tiles featuring fruit or flowers. Modern Kitchens with a modern feel often have dark wood cabinets; they should be streamlined, with little to no adornment. This is not the place for fancy moldings. For countertops, choose a natural material such as granite or marble, or take a less familiar route and go with concrete. White or light-colored countertops will contrast nicely with the cabinets and keep the kitchen from being too dark. Glass tiles, especially subway or mosaic tiles, are a trendy choice for backsplashes. Modern paint colors tend to be muted and neutral. When choosing lighting and accessories for your kitchen, incorporate geometric shapes and brushed metal finishes. Stainless steel appliances are practically a must in a modern-style kitchen. Country Country kitchens are warm and rustic, with lots of wood. Oak is the classic choice for cabinets, but whether oak or not, they should be light- to medium-toned. Solid-surface countertops in a favorite color fit in nicely with country style, or keep the counters neutral to provide a backdrop for old-fashioned accessories. Haunt antiques stores for kitchen tools from days gone by, or perhaps a rough-hewn table. A large farm sink is right at home in this kitchen. Favorite country colors include dusty blue, barn red, dark green, dark yellow and navy. Tie everything together with a country theme, such as the barnyard, folk art or Americana. Finally, let me have a short conclusion.
