Modern
Love a streamlined look? Does clutter drive you crazy? You don’t need to completely remodel to get European style. Designer Michael Berman renovated this kitchen by laying linoleum floor and staining the original walnut cabinets the color of black tea to set off the white tile of the countertops.

Rustic
If your dream is dining at a farm-style dinner table, go with rustic elements. In this kitchen designed by Robbin and Hillary Hayne, a generous dining table is made of 12-foot-long walnut planks. Cabinetry, made from rough wood that shows the natural grain, adds texture.

Colorful
Do you find the idea of another white kitchen wearisome? Then make a big statement with a bold and bright kitchen. In this design by Miles Redd, cabinets are lacquered, as was the roller shade, which erases an exhaust unit. Even the Sub-Zero refrigerator is painted green.
