Top 5 Tips for Designing a Tuscan-Style Kitchen



Tuscan-style kitchens are undeniably beautiful. They have an Old World look and feature natural wood, stone and metal, along with fancy moldings and all sorts of flourishes. Many homeowners want to base their remodeled kitchens on this popular style. In today’s post, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Central Texas, a top kitchen renovation company, gives tips to help you design a Tuscan-style kitchen.

  1. Create a Tuscan-inspired color palette. The colors you select for your kitchen should be based on the reds of the earth, the yellow of the sun, the blues of sky and the greens of the sea. Focus on natural colors that invoke the comfort and relaxed elegance of Tuscany.

  1. Emphasize natural light. Tuscan-style kitchens have plenty of natural light. To permit this, your kitchen windows need to either have no window coverings or semi-translucent ones. Focus on maximizing the amount of sunlight to make your kitchen feel more welcoming.

  1. Highlight natural features. Tuscan-style kitchens have a bright and natural feel. Stone, raw wood, rustic furniture, exposed wood beams and other natural features help to achieve this effect.

  1. Choose the right flooring and finishes. Tuscan-style kitchens usually have marble, terracotta tile or ceramic tile. The countertops often have a matte finish. These features make Tuscan-style kitchens feel laid-back and earthy.

  1. Use the right cabinets. Your cabinets occupy the majority of your kitchen’s wall space. They are an important part of your kitchen’s overall design. Tuscan-style kitchens generally use high-quality natural wood cabinets. These cabinets may be stained or painted in light colors.
