Your Custom Kitchen: Remodel and Decoration Ideas

According to a recent article in Kitchen and Bath Design News, if you're looking to make your kitchen remodel truly personalized, you are not alone. In fact, now more than ever homeowners are looking to design professionals to include custom artistic elements into their kitchen remodels.

While homeowners have long opted for custom paint jobs and cabinetry, here are some other unique ideas for making your kitchen remodel truly your own.

Design a Custom Tile Mural

One way in which you can make your kitchen remodel truly personal is by adding a custom designed tile mural. To incorporate a custom tile mural into your kitchen remodel, you will work with an artist who will take your idea and hand-paint it onto a series of tiles. These tiles are then fired in a kiln as any other ceramic tile would be before being installed along with the other tiles during your kitchen remodel. While you can choose any design you wish, popular options are florals, scenics, and still life images featuring food and wine. And, while these custom tile murals can be installed anywhere in your kitchen, including the floor, popular locations include sink and stove backsplashes.

Custom Kitchen Sinks

In addition to adding custom tile murals during your kitchen remodel, another great idea for adding a personal touch is a custom painted porcelain sink. While these sinks have traditionally been seen in bathrooms, custom painted porcelain sinks are now been incorporated into kitchen remodel designs as "entertainment or bar" sinks featuring bottle and glass motifs. Many people opt geometric or floral patterns as well as fruits and vegetable motifs for their larger kitchen sinks.

In addition to custom-painted porcelain tiled backsplashes and sinks, other options for personalization include custom-designed cabinetry, hand-sculpted hardware and even custom designed and manufactured lighting.

As you can see, if making your kitchen truly personal is one of the goals of your kitchen remodel, with the help of a few good artists your kitchen design can truly be one of a kind.
