We can give your kitchen cabinets a fresh coat of paint that exudes French elegance and charm. Moreover, we can do this within your budget, ensuring you have enough funds for other final touches.
To assist you in realizing your dream French-themed kitchen, here are some styling suggestions to keep in mind.
Opt for Subdued Shades
One of the critical steps in encapsulating the French flair in your kitchen is choosing the right color for your kitchen cabinets. This style is typically associated with subdued shades. The colors that best represent the classic French allure are beiges, greiges, buttercream yellow, taupes, espresso, or light powder blue.
Bear in mind your kitchen’s size and the level of natural light it receives when selecting a shade for your kitchen cabinets. Light colors make the kitchen appear more spacious. A small kitchen will benefit from a light color, while a bigger kitchen can carry a darker hue without feeling confined.
Introduce Character and Depth
If your kitchen cabinets are plain or outdated, elevate their look to achieve that French-inspired feel. To accomplish this, apply an antiquing or distressing technique to your newly painted kitchen cabinets (N-Hance of Pompano Beach can provide this as part of our refinishing service). This method will endow your cabinets with texture and personality, resulting in added depth and style.
Leverage the Charm of Hardwood
If your kitchen cabinets are constructed from quality wood, consider staining instead of repainting them. Wood cabinets evoke an old-world charm and are instrumental in creating a French vibe. Aim for rustic, weathered finishes when deciding on hardwood stain colors and techniques for your kitchen cabinets.
Switch Solid Doors for Glass
Another approach to introducing French style in your kitchen is replacing a few solid cabinet doors with glass ones. Inside, you can display items like regional French pottery, porcelain dishes, earthenware pots, and vases, or other fanciful or antique European-inspired pieces.
Incorporate Copper Accents
In a French kitchen, style meets function. To reflect this in your kitchen, consider getting copper cookware for ceiling display above the kitchen island or for open shelving. Alternatively, install a copper range hood over your stove. These elements will offer a striking appearance that mirrors the French style you’re aiming for.
Marry Old and New Features
French style merges old or vintage elements with newer, more sophisticated ones. Consider hardwood beams and floors with stainless steel appliances or distressed cream cabinets with antique bronze hardware and new marble countertops. Identify areas where you can combine this mixture of styles in your kitchen.
Focus on Comfortable Seating
French kitchens are welcoming and convivial, making them excellent spots for socializing, dining, and enjoyment. Therefore, suitable seating is an essential part of a French-inspired kitchen. Seating should be plentiful and varied, with stools around the kitchen island and chairs and benches around the table, offering an assortment of relaxing spots, from cane-seated and ladderback chairs to wooden stools, aged benches, or a window seat adorned with French-inspired fabric.
