Look At Me: 4 Easy Focal Points for Your Kitchen

It’s a question I ask early in the selection process: what do you want people to notice first when they walk into your kitchen? There is really no wrong answer, just a matter of personal preference. I’ve used backsplash material to concentrate a person’s gaze, counters, pieces of art, even nothing at all. Here are a few examples of the most common focal points to create for your kitchen:

1. Backsplash

Probably the most common focal point created. A little splurge on eye-catching tile can be just the thing to set off a room,

but nothing says the backsplash has to be made out of tile either.

2. Countertop

Usually done with natural stone that has a little bit of oomph.

Bold movement in granite counters becomes a natural attention grabber

Of course, there are exceptions to every rule.

3. Architectural Detail

This can allow you to work around a unique element of your existing room.

4. Negative Space

Sometimes intentionally leaving some space unused allows a client to put their personal twist on things.

Even in a small kitchen, negative space can often be used as storage at the same time.
