When most people look at beautiful interior spaces in magazines and even in person, it's the design as a whole that is coveted. But, it's the smallest details that are helping that space make the biggest impact. There are a few different ways you can add a lot of style in your kitchen by just paying attention to all the small things.

I suggest start by looking at your cabinet design and how you can enhance the look of your space there. There are so many opportunities to up the ante and make your kitchen really stand out. The finish you select sets the tone for the kitchen and adding extra touches such as glazing or brushing can really wow your guests and family. Those additions also add texture to your cabinets and keep them from looking flat and one dimensional. Playing with the cabinet heights in your kitchen can also be a great way to add interest. Doing this works best in a space with taller ceilings. Open shelving is very popular right now and incorporating them into your design allows you to add a sense of openness as well as display your dinnerware for everyone to see. If you aren’t in love with the idea of open shelving but still want a way to display in your kitchen, I would add a few cabinets that have glass inserts. Its not completely out in the open but still allows items to be visible. With glass cabinets, I would also add lighting inside so you can illuminate your prized possessions.

Countertops

There are a few ways to make your countertops stand out and really complete the design of your kitchen. First up would be the edge selection of your countertops. Stone and solid surfacing counters have the most options for edge selections, and recently laminate companies are stepping up their game and offering a few more edges due to improved technology. Believe it or not, countertop edges are pretty important when deciding what style you want your kitchen to be. Shaker cabinets and more clean lined, simple cabinets need a simple edge profile to achieve the clean lined appearance that this style usually dictates. A bullnose profile is a clean, simple choice but if you want a little more detail, an ogee profile would be a terrific choice as well. For more ornate kitchens, a more ornate, detailed edge is needed such as "waterfall" edge or "cove ogee" profile. The shape of your countertop is also a way to add interest. Curving it out or creating a notched countertop would look amazing on any kitchen island, no matter the size!

Backsplash

The sky is the limit when it comes to backsplash selections and by selecting the right tile, stone, or glass and designing the pattern in the right way, your kitchen will be magazine ready in no time! When looking at designer kitchens, there is always something unique and different about the backsplash. Extra attention is paid in creating the most unique look and really brings the kitchen all together.

Cabinet Hardware

And for the final touch, the jewelry of the cabinets and kitchen, your kitchen hardware is a selection that ties it all together. Heavy, ornate hardware is best used in traditional or Mediterranean style kitchen where more is what you want. If you want to modernize your traditional look, choose hardware in a brushed nickel finish. It instantly makes it more of the "now" and also makes your cabinets stand out. For those wanting a clean-lined, transitional look, choose a simple cabinet pull without a lot of detail.
