If you are replacing your flooring I have three different wood tones that will work well with this design. I recommend grabbing lots of samples from your local store and looking at them in your home. Flooring has to work with this design and adjacent rooms.

Always order samples to make sure you love the colour and that it works with all of the elements in your space. Look at the samples in the different lighting your room gets throughout the day. Here are two really convenient online paint sample companies that you can order from Hello Paint for my fellow Canadians and Samplize.

If you are painting your existing cabinets head to your local paint store and get all the necessary tools needed to do a professional-looking job. You will need to clean, prime and use a high-quality cabinet paint to ensure the job lasts. You can also consider hiring a local company that will paint your existing frames and spray all of your doors with professional-grade paint for a perfect finish.

Order samples and check in with your local stone manufacturers for more options. You may fall in love with a natural stone and if that is the case you will have to ensure that all of your other elements work together.

Pendant Lights - Click on the photo to head to the product page

The scale of your pendants can make a huge difference in the overall look and feel of your kitchen design. Make sure your pendants are not too small in relation to your island or peninsula. Also make sure your pendants are 30 to 36 inches from the countertop, too often pendants are installed too high

To add warmth and depth to the design I have added accessories in warm tones and textures. Place the vase on your island or peninsula add in the faux or real greenery. Add one of the bowls beside and fill it with fresh fruit. Place the cutting boards near your stove.
