A COLLECTION OF SOME OF OUR FAVORITE KITCHEN DESIGNS FROM ACROSS CANADA. Asymmetry is a great design choice for a modern kitchen, especially when playing with a mix of organic and non organic materials and colors. In this kitchen, we balanced the asymmetrical island by keeping the design by the windows very symmetrical. - Danielle Degen, www.kitchencraft.com; Photo By De Waal Developments, www. dewaaldevelopments.ca When designing a kitchen, pay attention to the little things like casings, baseboards and trim work. If your trim is white and your cabinets are white, make sure you pick a white that complements each other or keep them consistent. Also consider upgrades you may do in the future and take that into account when picking out materials and colors. - Lisa Quiring, Photo by @Wheatgumgraphics www.creativekitchens.com If you don’t have a ton of natural light pouring into your kitchen, don’t let that stop you from thinking beyond white cabinetry. Working with light colored cabinets will still work, especially when paired with a bright and punchy tile floor or backsplash. - Kendall Ansell, www.kendallansell.com 26 Work with what you have like we did in this kitchen. This desk area was painted and updated and the top cabinet doors were painted black with mirrors and a molding detail added to copy the stain glass in the adjoining dining room. - Jacklynn Little, www. jacklynnlittleinteriors.com CANADIANHOMETRENDS.COM Photo by Zsuzsi Pal Photography, www.zsuzsipalphotography.com
