Are you in the process of designing a brand-new kitchen for your present home? Maybe you are building your dream home. Either way, if you have everything planned and paid for, you don't have a reason to keep reading. If you are still looking for design ideas, however, continue reading for some ideas that might help you to design a beautiful kitchen that you will enjoy with your family and friends for many years.

​Since you get to choose every detail of your new kitchen, think of starting with the cabinets. By doing that, it might simplify your job of selecting your kitchen furniture. Think of the theme you want before you start shopping.

Start With The Color Of The Kitchen Cabinetry - Color plays a huge part in setting the mood you want in your kitchen. If you are wanting to establish an extremely elegant look in your new kitchen, think of choosing light gray for the color of the cabinets. Choose pewter for the cabinet's knobs.

For a rustic mood, choose custom kitchen cabinets made of distressed wood. Go with hammered brass for the knobs.

Perhaps you have always wanted a farm-themed kitchen. If so, go with barn red for the color of the cabinets. Porcelain knobs with farm animals as the focal point would be appropriate for your farm-themed cabinets.

White cabinets will be perfect for a contemporary feeling in your new kitchen. Choose simple, black knobs to keep the modern look.

Select The Inside Design Of Your Kitchen Cabinets - The beauty of selecting custom cabinets is that you can make them work for you. For instance, include a narrow pull-out drawer that will hold things like spice bottles, salt and pepper shakers, and other small items.

Do you love to make cookies? If so, you'll want a horizontal cabinet that will hold things like cookie sheets and cooling racks. 

If you use a crockpot and other large baking and cooking kitchenware, don't forget to include large, deep pull-out drawers as part of the design.

Lazy Susan–type shelves will make it easy for you to access things that could easily be hard to reach.

Buy Furniture That Helps To Set The Stage - This is the part of your decorating project that might be the most fun. If you went with gray cabinets for an elegant theme, consider buying a formal dining room table for your kitchen. 

A rustic feeling with distressed wood might call for something like a picnic-style wooden table and wooden benches to match.

Keep the farm theme by choosing a shabby-chic table and mismatched chairs to complement the cabinets and the table.

A metal table and chairs will go really well in a contemporary kitchen. Or, go with a glass-topped table and metal chairs.

When you shop for kitchen decor, don't forget to check out antique stores and boutiques to get one-of-a-kind items that will add to the look you are wanting to establish.
