"Most of us have a preferred kitchen style in mind when decorating our culinary space, but one of the most common kitchen design mistakes you could make is leaning into that one single style too much. Making one aesthetic your end-all be-all can turn a space with potential into a monotone room that's severely lacking character. Therefore, it's important to consider mixing materials and textures that give your kitchen personality, depth, and lots of dynamic focal points."
"The easiest way to play mix-and-match is to choose one main, defining element that will serve as a backdrop for the other textures and materials - a concrete wall, a marble island, wooden cabinets... you get the gist. Then, complement this element with two or three other materials to create contrast in the areas that feel stale. If you're predominantly using one material, try to use different textures and colors of it."
Relying on a single kitchen aesthetic often creates a monotone, characterless space. Mixing materials and textures adds personality, depth, and dynamic focal points. Choose one main defining element to serve as a backdrop — for example a concrete wall, marble island, or wooden cabinets — and complement it with two or three contrasting materials. When using predominantly one material, vary its textures and colors to avoid visual flatness. Small, intentional tweaks and balanced contrasts produce a unique, personalized kitchen that resists a single-style outcome while embracing current design trends and creating layered visual interest throughout the room.
