Do you love the charm of a French-inspired kitchen, whether it’s a rustic farmhouse style or the elegance of a Parisian apartment? If you want to achieve this look without a major cabinet remodel, N-Hance of Fort Wayne can help.
Creating a French-inspired Kitchen
We specialize in affordable cabinet repainting that brings French style and charm to your kitchen, leaving room in your budget for those perfect finishing touches.
Here are a few style tips to help you create a dreamy French kitchen.
What Cabinet Color Should You Invest in?
What color should you choose if you want to achieve a French-inspired look in your kitchen or bathroom? Muted tones often define the French style. Muted tones include beige, greige, buttercream yellow, taupe, espresso, and light powder blue.
Additionally, consider the size of your kitchen and the natural light it receives. Lighter colors can make a small kitchen feel more spacious, while darker tones work well in larger kitchens without making them feel cramped. N-Hance can help you pick the right colors and utilize the light in your kitchen.
How to Add French Character to Your Kitchen
Do you feel that your kitchen cabinets are plain or outdated? Adding a French-inspired look can help elevate your space. Antiquing or distressing techniques are popular ways to add French character to your home.
At N-Hance of Fort Wayne, we offer these finishes as part of our basic cabinet refinishing service. Antiquing or distressing adds texture and character to your newly painted cabinets, giving them depth and a unique style that captures the charm of a French kitchen.
Embrace French Charm with Hardwood Finishes and Glass Cabinet Doors
If your kitchen cabinets are high-quality wood, consider staining them instead of repainting them. N-Hance offers a superior cabinet color change service that may be perfect for your kitchen.
Hardwood cabinets evoke old-world charm and can bring a French feel to your kitchen, especially with rustic, weathered finishes that add warmth and character.
For added French style, replace a few solid cabinet doors with glass. This allows you to display decorative pieces like provincial French pottery, porcelain dishes, earthenware pots, or other European-inspired accents, adding a touch of whimsy and elegance to your kitchen.
What Elements Should You Include in Your Kitchen?
In a French kitchen, the decor is both beautiful and functional. Bring this aesthetic into your kitchen by displaying copper cookware, either hung from the ceiling above your island or on open shelves. For an even bolder touch, consider a copper range hood above your stove.
These elements add warmth and elegance, capturing the essence of French style. When you choose N-Hance of Fort Wayne, our team will work with you to bring your dream kitchen to life.
Blend Styles for a Timeless Feel
French style often blends rustic or vintage charm with modern sophistication. Imagine old hardwood beams and floors paired with stainless steel appliances, or distressed cream cabinets accented by antique bronze hardware and new marble countertops.
Find opportunities to incorporate this fusion of styles to bring a timeless, elegant touch to your kitchen.
Create an Inviting Space
To create a warm and inviting French-inspired kitchen, having the right seating is essential. Consider a variety of options, such as stools around the kitchen island and chairs or benches at the dining table.
