When living in a tropical location, the best thing about your Kitchen Hawaii should be the windows that not only look out onto a wonderful scenic backdrop but they also let in all the natural light that can really open up any room. Designing, remodeling or simply updating your kitchen is a fun project to undertake and when you have such a fantastic setting such as the ocean to use as a piece of the decoration, why not take full advantage of it?
The first thing that comes to mind in a kitchen design project that has such amazing light to work with is to keep things as light as possible. This does not mean that if you desire cherry oak wood that you shouldn’t have it. What it does mean however, is that you should design the rest of the kitchen to be lighter. Sometimes having a light wood on all the kitchen cabinetry is not the best idea depending on the clientele. Dark wood gives a very dramatic look to a contrasting kitchen of all light counter-tops not to mention the light coming in from the open windows or skylights that are must in a Hawaii kitchen.
The best piece of advice when looking for a certain look to take in all the extra beauty from the outside is to keep the room as clutter free as possible. Keep the eye distractions to a minimum. In a kitchen where most things are just below eye level there is a tendency to add height in certain parts of the room. Save this design spark for other parts of the house where the windows are not as open. Leave this room as scarce as can be unless of course you are entertaining in which case it should be covered with food and beverages.
Aside from the windows which may be expensive to open up if there is simply an outside wall there to begin with, getting your dream kitchen is not that difficult, time consuming or expensive. A quick re-sanding and painting will add instant new life to a kitchen that may otherwise have seemed drab previously.
