Wood and Corbels
If you home features a kitchen island or a breakfast nook island, that’s already a great start. If you feel like it’s just too plain and simple, there are some simple additions you can make to make it look a little nicer.
Using wooden planks, some corbels, and paint, you can take your simple kitchen island and transform it into a stylish centerpiece. Mount the wooden planks along the edge and add corbels. Lastly, paint everything into a nice color, and voila!
Use Rugs
Open concept kitchens have really become not only very popular, but the expected norm in many homes these days. While these are wonderful for making a space feel large and expansive, sometimes it’s hard to see where the kitchen ends and the other rooms begin.
There is a really simple and stylish way you can fix this problem. Why not use some stylish rugs in order to make natural divisions? You can even “create” a room within a room by using rugs to separate different zones of a room.
