There’s a kitchen, with its sink, countertops, island, and cabinets. And then there’s your kitchen, which contains all those same things, except it looks and feels more special because it has character — yours. If you plan on getting a kitchen to remodel this season, make sure the space you end up with has your prints all over it. Not in the literal sense, but design-wise. You’ll find that designing a kitchen with character becomes easier once you know what to do. It’s a simple enough task that you can plan most of it before getting a kitchen estimate from your choice of the remodeler.
Check out these tips:
Introduce Artwork
There may be things that can clue people in about your character, from the clothes you wear and the books you read to the tweets you post online. But nothing can provide deeper insight into your character than the art you choose to display. A favorite print, a film poster, a still life painting — these can completely change the look and vibe of your kitchen. They make the room distinctly yours. And the best part about introducing artwork in the space is that you can swap them out whenever you want, with no major changes involved.
Choose Fixtures and Lighting Carefully
Here’s a pro tip: there’s a fine line between adding character to your kitchen and beating people over the head with it. For instance, you adore cats, but this doesn’t mean everything in your kitchen should be cat-shaped or cat-patterned. Focusing on one aspect of your personality and repeating it all over makes the kitchen space — and you — appear two-dimensional. Try to be more subtle with it, and the fixtures and lighting are a great place to start. Pick your fixture finishes and lighting options carefully. They may not be the kitchen’s main focal point, but they’ll add more character to the space, giving it a more personalized vibe. Having trouble deciding on your available options?

Consider the Floor Material
Your choice of flooring helps you add more character to your kitchen. Choosing tiles with interesting patterns and bold colors, for example, may indicate that you’re not afraid to take risks. Picking engineered hardwood can mean that you’re practical, but don’t try to sacrifice quality. Natural stone such as marble and granite? You go for the best, and only the best. Whatever floor material you end up choosing, make sure that it not only adds character to your kitchen but also looks cohesive with the rest of its visual elements.
