When it comes to the kitchen, perfection is always elusive; or so it seems
The best kitchens are ones that make the most of the space on offer while creating a balance between form and functionality. Of course, at the heart of all this is the style of the kitchen – the one thing that binds together all the individual elements and gives the kitchen its unique appeal. There are styles that feel polished and urbane and then those that turn the kitchen into a relaxing and cozy space where the entire family can come together and interact with ease. A ‘feel-good’ kitchen is one that feels like a transition zone between the interior and the world outside!

The best feel-good kitchens are illuminated beautifully at all times and they also have a hint of natural goodness thrown into the mix. While you can turn a kitchen with any chosen style into one with a ‘feel-good’ appeal, the three best styles that we have on display today are definitely the trendiest and easiest to create. From the ever-popular beach style to the unrestricted exuberance of shabby chic, these styles look simply stunning indeed. Delve in and discover the best –
Breezy Modern Beach Style
There are few styles that are eternally as popular as the beach style and be it in the bedroom, living room or kitchen, you simply cannot go wrong with it. Of course, there are the mundane beach style space and those that really take it to a whole new level with their breezy, cheerful appeal. The beach style with a ‘feel-good’ touch involves plenty of white, a dash of blue and even pops of other bright colors depending on seasonal trends. Wood and brick wall sections also can make their presence felt and add that ‘it’ factor. But the most important aspect of it all is the right ventilation and a laid-back approach to design.

Next on the list are shabby chic kitchens and these definitely feel a lot more ‘impulsive and casual’ than the classic beach style kitchens. Here, you can throw in pretty much anything and everything as long as it fits into the overall theme. Do not shy away from using colorful décor and accents, but make sure that the backdrop is as neutral as possible. In the shabby chic kitchen, an eclectic collection of kitchenware also goes a long way in giving it an off-the-cuff vibe. A central breakfast zone and a matching dining area can complete a cool social zone that brings people together with ease.
