Tips

Little details go a long way to create character and charm in your kitchen. The backsplash is a great example. Marnie recommends taking the backsplash all the way up to the ceiling, as she did in this kitchen design. “It really adds dimension and warmth, and it keeps your eye from transitioning from tile to drywall,” she says. Light fixtures are another design element that you can use to further your style goals for your kitchen. “You can really change the look of the kitchen overall,” Marnie says.
