#2: Mismatched and Modern

Mismatched islands and cabinets truly up the style in your eating space. This kitchen creates visual interest by contrasting white cabinets with a dark countertop. There is something distinctive and unique about going bold with your countertop choices. Both countertop material and cabinet finish are opportunities to add color or texture to the space. Deciding to go with a mismatched island or cabinets lets you experiment without going overboard. We suggest taking a risk and combining two different cabinet styles and countertop materials together. Click here to get a look at the full kitchen renovation.

#1: Subway Style

Subway tile may be considers a millennial phenomenon, but this tile style is definitely a classic design style. It’s a non-intrusive style that we can be considered a design trend that won’t be dated to this decade. Subway style tiles are universal and can fit in many different designs. Their longevity has stood the test of time for a few reasons, but mostly because this style is inexpensive. It looks good with practically any other materials and pairs well with many different materials, appliances and finishes. They can also be arranged in all kinds of interesting and unexpected ways.

This kitchen was part of a complete remodeling of one bedroom apartment in Lower Manhattan. Among other projects, MyHome redid the kitchen, the bathroom, changes in layout and installed new wood floors. Click here to view the full photo gallery.
