Kitchen with Elegant Gold Accents for a Bright Spring Look
This spring kitchen makeover shows how gold accents, soft olive cabinetry, and layered lighting can make a small space feel bright, cozy, and elegant. Use warm metals in fixtures and hardware, then balance them with airy neutrals, natural textures, and a welcoming breakfast nook for daily life.
I'm excited to take you along on a recent project journey that transformed a client's vision into reality. When the client first reached out to me, they were both excited and a bit nervous. They had big dreams for their small kitchen and were worried about how it would all come together. They envisioned a modern, cozy kitchen with a welcoming dining nook and gold accents.
The journey began with an in-depth consultation. The clients shared their concerns about the limited space and stressed the importance of making it functional without sacrificing style. To ensure I fully understood their vision, they provided a detailed floor plan, photos of the existing space, and a collection of inspirational images.
