Power rooms, or bathrooms in general, are among the most practical spaces in a home, but this doesn't mean we need to sacrifice their aesthetic. For a reminder of just how beautiful these rooms can be, look no further than Robert Downey Jr.'s pink-hued marble powder room, designed by Fox Nahem Associates in his Malibu home.

While powder rooms are conventionally small, the actor has prioritized making a big statement through his abundant use of marble, decorative mosaic tiles, and rustic stone finishes. With these varying textures and colors combined, the Downey Jr. has ensured his space always feels layered and beautifully luxurious something that, designers say, is replicable (even if it's on a smaller scale) in our homes.

'I love creating classic and timeless bathrooms. By using various textures and finishes, you avoid the bathroom looking like a "spec" house,' comments Cyndy Cantley of Cantley & Company.

Downey Jr.'s combination of rose-toned marble and ornate mosaic tiles creates an uber-luxe bathroom aesthetic, but as Cantley explains, we can experiment with different forms and stones to create a textured bathroom that works for our home.

'I start by selecting the marble and with so many available options, you need to decide on how much movement you want. This is a very personal decision, as there is no right or wrong. (This is also my favorite part of my job.) I love to mix marble with handmade tiles for their versatile impact. Mixing marbles is very fun and gives an immediate old-world feel,' she says.

'A beautiful Rojo marble mixed with limestone is very special, or using a citron or black marble creates a spectacular look. My advice is always to have fun with mixing textures in bathrooms and be as daring as you and your budget allows.'

Similarly, for a Downey Jr.-inspired starting point, Courtney Cole, an interior designer at Yabby, recommends pairing marble and tiles a combination with a dramatic impact. However, we need to decorate with caution.

Design expertise in your inbox from inspiring decorating ideas and beautiful celebrity homes to practical gardening advice and shopping round-ups.

'Because marble and tile are both polished-looking materials, it can be easy to think they can be used together and theyll suit each other immediately. Well, this isnt actually the case there are different ways they need to be used together to make sure they suit,' she comments.

'Marble has natural veining and is smooth, which makes it a great choice to pair with textured tiles for visual interest. Taking advantage of the smoothness of marble and the tactile quality of textured tiles will make it so each material will highlight the other materials' qualities making the bathroom seem more dynamic and less streamlined.'

Buying into the luxury bathroom look doesn't need to involve and whole space renovation. Here are some of our current favorite pieces (for an instant bathroom/powder room upgrade).

Mold Removal and Storm Damage Repair by Urgent Restoration in Conyers, GA - openPR

Hidden or integrated appliances can be super visually pleasing, but come with a unique set of issues, they say. Because theyre custom, you may have a harder time repairing or replacing these appliances. Also, whenever you decide it's time to move or renovate, youll have to redo your appliances as well.

Attractive countertops are a key component of an eye-catching kitchen. But why select materials that come with a side of headaches? Natural stone counters, like white marble and porous limestone, need to be treated with a high-quality sealer or else theyll etch and stain. Brent reasons that etches will often happen no matter how carefully you maintain them.

[White marble] will only look pristine on day one, so if you are concerned about stains that could come with time, go with a more reliable option such as marble-looking quartz, which provides the same look but is stain-resistant and easier on the pocketbook, says Gena Kirk, vice president of corporate studio at KB Home, one of the nations largest homebuilders.

Think about how many people will be using your kitchen on a daily basis before opting for marble. If you arent willing to reseal your counters or prevent spills from red wine and lemon juice, marble or other natural stones may not be right for your kitchen, says Sarah Latham of Latham Interiors.

Open shelving is everywhere, yet so is dust. While they look lovely when theyre styled well, Kirk argues open shelves require copious maintenance, get very dusty, and always have to look photo-readysomething you dont have to worry about with closed cabinets.

There are kitchens with open shelves beneath [the counter], with no cabinet doors and your organized serveware on public display, says Antares Yee, founder and creative director of design studio Sun at Six. The obvious issue is dripping water, flying sauces, and dribbling grease. But the real kicker is to display the innards of every last drawer openly and see that its meticulously organized and clean. It makes you ask: Are these people robots?

As you sit down with a contractor to plot out your revamped kitchen, you might be tempted to spring for new cabinets, counters, appliances, floors, paint, and more. Chicago-based designer Corey Lohmann suggests taking a step back and maintaining some of your kitchens original features. Wiping out a perfectly nice (and practical) feature might be the most impractical move of all. Sometimes its totally OK to keep features that are true to the original design of the home or have some character, she says.

If the island is the heart of the kitchen, the islands seating is its soul. Counter stools should be comfortable places to dine, socialize, and lingernot rigid blocks to teeter on. Brent rejects sculptural low-back or no-back counter stools. They are uncomfortable, so you arent as inclined to actually sit at the island and eat, she says. Consider perusing the barstools that AD100 architects and designers love.

Only highly specific living situations necessitate owning two ovens. Honestly, these are only useful a few times a year, unless you own a catering company or have a big family, say the Brownstone Boys. Otherwise, they just take up valuable kitchen real estate! You are better off asking a friend to bring the baked sweet potatoes than having two ovens all year round.

Youve likely seen oil paintings, art ledges, and cookbook displays in newly remodeled kitchens on Instagram. While beautiful to look at, designers have concerns.

These 13 Remodel Trends Are Actually Ruining Your Kitchen - Architectural Digest

Colorful Appliances

Appliances are slowly but surely becoming the biggest stars in the kitchena transition that makes sense considering how much square footage they use and how big an investment they can be. One of our favorite ways to inject personality and color into the kitchen is to go for a freestanding appliance that packs a colorful punch, and the most innovative brands in the home space seem to applaud that approach as well.

Take luxury home refrigeration brand True Residential. All of its kitchen appliances tend to make a splash (even mega momager Kris Jenner uses the brands standout fridge stack in her massive cook space). However, its True Residentials vibrant kitchen must-haves that have people drooling. A sorbet-hued two-door refrigeration unit, for example, was the star of the show at 2024s Kitchen & Bath Industry Show.

Brand manager for the family-owned and operated appliance company Chelsea Bothe noted that customers and designers [are] electing to have their appliances be the focal point [and complementing] those colorful pieces with softer cabinetry, paint colors and other fixtures. If you choose a similarly bright appliance, try keeping the other accents in your cook space softer or muted. Both suggest that this allows for a bold pop in an unexpected, yet sophisticated way.

If kitchens with rainbow-colored additions speak to you, you may also be a fan of cooking spaces that feature retro touches and accents paying homage to vintage style. These spaces can feel layered, interesting and full of character. Need even more of a reason to incorporate something retro in your kitchen this year? Walsh said she believes that adding antique pieces gives design-minded clientsaccess to amazing pieces that have history and feel personal in addition to being sustainable. If truly vintage pieces arent in the cards for you, there are still ways to get the look.

Brands like Elmira Cookstoves and SMEG, for example, have ovens, refrigerators, countertop appliances and more that combine the aesthetics of vintage kitchens with the modernity and tech advances of the 21st century. If you want to bring on a blast from the past, try incorporating a few unexpected red appliances or accents in the kitchen.

Neither your home nor your kitchen need be limited to only one design style. In fact, incorporating multiple aesthetics can make your spaces feel all the more well decorated even if you dont hire a professional interior designer. Customized cook spaces are becoming even more popular, and your kitchen is becoming one of your dreams, regardless of trending. That, in and of itself, is the trend.

Senior creative style manager at Moen Danielle DeBoe Harper says that one of her favorite ways to make a major impact in the kitchen is to combine styles to create one unique design that helps homeowners encapsulate their own tastes and lifestyles.

Want to mix styles in your kitchen with ease? Harper suggests looking toward fixtures that lean more transitional to meld together both traditional and modern pieces for a clean, comfortable and contemporary look [or even finding] traditional fixtures and decor that have bolder color palettes to make the space more modern and eclectic.

Since kitchens tend to be focal points in the home, Harper also notes that they can handle a bit of added flare. Choosing statement pieceslike faucets with bold finishes or tall statures is a great way to make a big style impact, according to Harper. In this eclectic kitchen from Moen, the brands Smyth faucet combines vintage accents with modern ones. The brass color is the icing on the cake.

Well-designed kitchens come in all shapes and sizes, but certain aspects appear in so many of them. They look good and are designed even better; the form follows function. One way to make your kitchen look stunning and increase its functionality is to incorporate appliances that simply fade into the background.

Style and communication director at Italian kitchen appliance manufacturer Bertazzoni S.p.A. Valentina Bertazzoni notes that this trend can work in smaller spaces, too. She shared, We see more and more compact kitchen spaces that lend themselves to integrated styles like stacked [appliance] configurations and built-in cabinet panel concealed appliance installations. According to Bertazzoni, these additions can make a kitchen feel more spacious and create custom style [and] a subliminally elegant ambiance all while reducing the degree of visual noise.

For those who prefer not to have a standout fridge, for example, a design professional can help you hide your unit behind doors that match perfectly with your existing cabinetry. Want another way to make your kitchen feel incredibly custom and unique to you? Go for an integrated dishwasher that hides in plain sight or an appliance garage that conceals all of your smaller countertop appliances like coffee machines, air fryers and blenders.

Some homeowners may have unlimited budgets to remodel their kitchens. Still, even those with a tighter allowance can create a wow-worthy moment by highlighting just one particular element in their cook space, another trend weve been seeing. Picking a singular feature to be the star of the show will look intentional and prevent you from breaking the bank. In this dream kitchen designed by Virgina Toledo of the New York Design Center and photographed by Jacob Snavely, so many things are jaw-dropping: A sculptural chandelier over the oval dining table stands out, as does the fun pink and green color mix of the dining and counter chairs. The kitchen flooring, however, is the undeniable showstopper.

Pro tip for making a significant impact in your kitchen? Toledo suggests picking one strong element in the room that [will play] the leading role and investing your design and financial resources to make sure it stands out. In this space, her team created a custom pattern of mixed marbles for a unique look that can work in almost any style of kitchen.

Kitchens are becoming more functional, more customized and bolder as we move forward into a new season of home improvement. While minimalist, all-white rooms still have a place in the world of design (as no trend ever disappears completely), kitchen designers and homeowners are experimenting more. People no longer want to sacrifice their unique tastes for muted decor, and the end result in this slow shift is colorful.

Were making kitchen design fun again. If youre ready to embrace the change, you can start small. Inject a bit of vibrancy with a colorful electric kettle, for starters. If maintaining the budget is of a concern, though, you can go the opposite route. Add wallpaper to your kitchen backsplash, invest in a custom faucet and sink combo that will draw the eye and replace your tile with something eclectic that makes a splash. You deserve to have a kitchen that feels like you.

Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE Decor editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy.

This small kitchen can be found in ELLE DECOR A-List designers Eric Hughes and Nathan Turners ranch-inspired home in Ojai, California, but theres plenty of lessons to be learned here for indoor kitchens too. In lieu of a stainless steel faucet, for instance, they installed a rustic brass version. Instead of cupboards, theyve hung their pots and pans on a rail. But our favorite detail is the charming skirt that conceals under-sink plumbing and other sundries. Simply ditch your hinges and doors, and pop on a cute curtain of your own.

As much as we may love the way kitchen cabinets can elevate a cooking space, they can also take up a lot of visual real estate, especially if youre dealing with a small room. We love how designer Timothy Brown ditched heavy cupboards in favor of industrial stainless-steel shelving in his New York apartment. Not only does it provide a space for clip-on lights to illuminate chopping (or in this case, floral arranging!) it also allows him to flaunt his collection of vases and display small framed artworks.

This kitchen is as modern as it gets. But the designers at StudioDB wanted to add a fashionable edge too. In fact, this small New York kitchen was inspired by the color palette ofwait for itPrada stores. But nothing says galley kitchen like the pair of portholes in the pink pocket door. It conveniently can hide pre dinner-party chaos or simply serve as a style statement on its own. Ahoy matey!

At first blush, this kitchen designed by ELLE DECOR A-List firm Pappas Miron might look like your standard-issue white kitchen. But its the pendant light, as pretty and enticing as a peppermint, that takes it to the next level. If you have ceiling space to spare, install one that will similarly steal the scene.

If youre sick of the all-white kitchen but still want the lightness and space-creating magic the look affords, take a page from designer Mark Grattans book: In his Mexico City apartment he specified all-white cabinets and tiles but refreshed the look with pops of gold and terra-cotta in the travertine countertops, golden rug, and earthy plant stand. And, if your space and light levels allow, why not include a tree?

The black kitchen is the sexy antithesis to the ubiquitous all-white one. And here, in his Milan apartment, hospitality designer Eric Egan brought all the drama. Not only are the countertops made from an unusually-textured Porphyry stone, but the back wall is entirely mirrored, making these pint-sized space feel positively cavernous. As for inky cabinets? Theyre from Ikea!

When the architecture firm Method Design and interior designer Nina Barneih-Blair teamed up on the design of this 490-square-foot Manhattan apartment, they needed to make the most out of every square inch. The solution? A kitchen island that serves multiple purposes over the course of the dayfrom ad hoc office to dinner party venue. An all-white palette of glossy cabinets and surfaces helps flaunt the flats greatest asset: natural light.

When youre working with a 16th-century townhouse, like French designer Eric Allart did, you have to embrace the period quirks. This kitchen came complete with terra-cotta tiles. Rather than rip them out, Allart kept them in place and designed a quirky kitchen in unexpected hues to complement them. Here, an inky tile backsplash refracts sunlight, and a Pepto-pink shade on the walls and ceilings works to move the eye upward.

This space, in a Beverly Hills house designed by Gary McBournie, might be a mere butlers pantry, but it offers plenty of inspiration for small kitchens. If its within your budget, opt for cabinets that offer a bit of Hollywood Regency glamour, like these ones here. If not, paint your existing ones in a vacation-ready hue like a bright key lime. The sunburst light fixture reminds us that its always happy hour somewhere!

The client of this Manhattan apartment doesnt use her small galley-style kitchen that often, but that didnt keep designer Lauren Buxbaum Gordon from making it a showpiece. Her signature move? To extend the cabinetry all the way up to the soaring period ceilings. Light countertops and a glossy white paint job let sunshine into the room, but its the gleaming gold hardware and accents that really make this small kitchen a winner.

Sometimes its best to embrace the chaos. And we cant think of a better example than this jubilant kitchen nook belonging to William Cullum, the senior designer at Jayne Design Studio, and his partner Jeffery Rhodes. A hot-pink Victorian-era pie safe-houses antique serveware, while a goat sculpture (formerly a display fixture at Saks Fifth Avenue) cheekily guards the fridge (camouflaged in whimsical artwork) against midnight snack marauders. In this space anything truly goes, as long as you do you.

One of the best design sleights of hand? Distraction. So if your cabinets or counters are ugly as sin, create visual interest with your floors. While we dont have a single complaint about this breezy Ibiza kitchen designed by Studio Muoz (take a look at that terrace!), the sea-blue tiled floors are a simple yet effective style statement. Even if a renovation might not be in the cards for you, a colorful kitchen rug will do the trick.

This apartment, designed by New York firm Husband Wife, employs Buxbaum Gordons towering kitchen cabinet rule. But rather than resort to the usual all-white, the designers clad the walls in a swirling marble and coated the cabinets in the dreamiest shade of glossy cream paint. Its the perfect combo of classic and contemporary.

We love how this kitchen, in a family-friendly Brooklyn apartment for the cofounders of Civilian, packs in plenty of storage with whimsical details. The custom island, topped with an eye-catching piece of marble, doubles as a repository to stash cookbooks and dinnerware, while the cherry-red hood (also custom) adds a fun postmodern pop.

This Victorian farmhouse in the Oxfordshire, England, digs of Toast CEO Suzie de Rohan Willner may be on the small side, but it sings with country charm. Bright green lower cabinets help the eye to zip around the space, while open shelving allows for smart storage and display of chic knickknacks.

This Brooklyn apartment is blessed with super-tall ceilings and tons of natural light. Designer Danielle Fennoy of Revamp Interior Design amped up the airiness in the combined kitchen and dining area with vibrant jolts of jewel-toned colors, including with this emerald green backsplash (which replaced the original, developer-installed white subway tile) and retro-chic Knoll dining chairs reupholstered in scarlet, nightclub ready Ultraleather.

A small area didnt stop Nate Berkus from incorporating a diminutive table and chairs (a vintage architects desk and school chairs) into his former Chicago kitchen. The metal cabinets were original to the 1929 apartment and pack in just the right amount of industrial-chic storage.

Youd never believe it, but this Provincetown, Massachusetts, cottage started life out as a humble fishing shack. Designer David Cafiero embraced the nautical theme throughout the house, including in this pint-size galley kitchen, which was modeled after a ships cooking space.

Advertisement - Continue Reading Below

Like most busy New Yorkers, the resident of this Manhattan apartment doesnt have time to cook often, but that doesnt mean the kitchen plays second fiddle to the rest of the home. Instead Sarah Mendel and Risa Emen of Cochineal Design converted the space into a functional showpiece of its own, with bold marble and cabinets lacquered in Farrow & Balls sultry Preference Red. Bonus: Its the perfect nook for displaying the clients collection of ceramics.

Just because you have a miniature cooking space doesnt mean you need to forgo areas to prep and dine. The trick is to think small, as with this diminutive kitchen island in an apartment designed by Nicholas Obeid. With vintage stools tucked beneath and a pair of Allied Maker pendants hung above, this vignette has all the impact of its sprawling suburban cousins.

60 Small Kitchen Ideas to Do More With Less in 2024 - ELLE Decor

When my daughter and son-in-law bought their first home together two years ago, the young couple had three dreams: a new kitchen, a nicer bathroom and a baby.

Last month they got all three.

Except for the outdated kitchen and tired main bath, the 15-year-old Craftsman-style house had everything Paige and Adam wanted for what they hoped would be their growing family great location, good schools and enough bedrooms. They decided they would either learn to live with the homes shortcomings, remodel, or, if those plans failed, eventually move.

The worst part of the home was the shower, which Paige, who gets her patience from her mother, wanted to replace the second she moved in. My college dorm had a better shower, I remember her saying on day one. Indeed, the small cubicle smelled like a mushroom farm, had a calcified door and would have fit right in at a campground.

How quickly could they fix that? The answer came two years later.

From that first day, Paige heard from not just me, whose opinion ranks just below her neighbor cats, but also from an interior designer and a contractor, that if they wanted to replace the shower they would need to replace the adjoining bathtub. If they replaced the bathtub, they would need to replace the floor and might as well update the vanity.

Anyone who has ever remodeled knows how a small change leads to a big change which leads to a total gut, which bleeds into at least one more room.

See, even if they did remodel the whole bath, in the Denver area where they live, between the labor shortage and the building boom, most contractors would not want a job that small, though the project did not seem small to them.

If they remodeled the kitchen, too, then they had a better shot at attracting a contractor, and they would save money because the trades carpenters, electricians, plumbers and tilers could do both jobs at once. In other words, do it all or not at all.

Welcome to the world of home remodeling.

Disheartened, Paige and Adam pressed pause. They lived in and with the house as it was and continued to imagine what having a nice shower and upgraded kitchen might be like.

That was not wasted time. Over the next two years, they envisioned what they really wanted in these rooms. They separated the must-haves (an eat-in kitchen with room for counter stools and a gas cooktop) from the nice-to haves (more counter space). They created a Pinterest board. They dreamed. They planned. They got pregnant. They hired a designer.

After a discovery call to get a sense of the projects scope, time frame and budget, interior designer Kate Clapp, owner of Kate Saige Interiors, met with Paige and Adam at their home. She shared her ideas and assured them they could get what they wanted. Knowing that Clapp works on many high-end projects, Paige and Adam made clear that this was a starter home and they had a finite budget.

She got it, Paige said. The decision to move forward was easy. By this point, we were just so happy that someone knew what we wanted and had a hand on the wheel, especially with a baby on the way.

I appreciated that they trusted me and the process, Clapp said. Not every client can do that, but its important.

Clapp replaced the door between the primary bedroom and bath with a classic arch, then added a larger glass shower featuring Spanish ivory subway tile, a soaker undermount tub surrounded by a quartz deck and an updated vanity with the same quartz countertop over cabinets repainted in Sherwin-Williams Accessible Beige. The remodeled bathroom also has slate plank flooring and new light fixtures, mirrors, faucets and sinks. (Ill share the kitchen improvements next week.)

The change, in Adams word, was existential.

Marni Jameson: Bringing home baby not like how I remember it

It all started because of the shower, Paige said, shaking her head over the odyssey as she sat in her new kitchen holding her newborn. At first, I just wanted to replace the shower glass. Ive since learned to be cautious of what you think are simple fixes. Theyre not so simple. They unravel.

Heres what else they learned:

Wallpaper has made a major comeback lately, so consider using it to update your kitchen with a fresh color and pattern. The best part about the trend is there are options for every budget and skill level, from easy peel-and-stick versions to personalized paintable wallpaper.

If youve been thinking about trying wallpaper, the kitchen is a great place to start. Thanks to appliances and upper cabinets, many have minimal open wall space, so you can get creative and make a style splash. Find inspiration among these kitchen wallpaper ideas and have fun dressing up your own space with this simple addition.

Carson Downing

If the wall above your home coffee bar is blank, fill it with an unexpected patterned wallpaper. This colorful one is a modern take on the iconic Chinoiserie print and will undoubtedly make you smile as you brew your morning cup.

Anne D. Schlechter

Make a major statement in a small kitchen by applying wallpaper that coincides with your backsplash. Keep them close in color and pattern size so they blend well together as these green and white patterns do. A beautiful botanical pattern lines the walls, while geometric-shaped tiles can be spotted between the counter and cabinets.

Werner Straube

If your aesthetic preference is more simplistic, opt for a neutral-toned wallpaper color, such as this one with a hexagon motif, that blends in with the rest of your kitchen yet still adds a delightful touch by way of an accent wall.

Ann VanderWiel Wilde

Your kitchen cabinets dont have to be see-through to enjoy the power of wallpaper. Anytime you open one to set the table, youll be greeted with a sweet sight. Choose a pattern you dont usually see for wallpaper, like this marble style, and opt for a peel-and-stick version for a more accessible application.

Werner Straube

This romantic gray kitchen wallpaper, an unexpected design detail, creates an expensive baroque look for less. The shapely swirled pattern, which resembles marble from a distance, echoes the flourishes in the room's chandelier, wall sconces, and curved quartzite backsplash. Crown molding distinguishes the kitchen borders.

Jay Wilde

Your kitchen may have an accent wall that serves as storage and seating. Update it with wallpaper featuring an oversized floral pattern in a soft watercolor palette. Its subtle enough not to overwhelm the space but still packs a powerful design punch.

Frances Janisch

Like a coffee bar, breakfast nooks are ideal for infusing a bit of whimsy with wallpaper while also designating it as its own area of the kitchen. Here, a tan Chinoiserie print is waiting to greet whoever sits to enjoy a meal at the banquette below.

Helen Norman

Are you still in your Barbiecore era? We dont blame you! Stick to a pale pink geometric-patterned wallpaper to infuse the color into the space and complement kitchen decor such as a pink-patterned rug, lined velvet dining chairs, and fresh-cut flowers.

KELLY MARSHALL

Theres something supremely timeless about black-and-white kitchens, but theres no reason you cant shake up tradition in yours. The floor-to-ceiling black-and-white trellis-like patterned wallpaper livens up this space with retro undertones.

JEFF HERR

This charcoal gray Chevron print paper is an unexpected and dramatic addition to any kitchen. If you choose dark-toned wallpaper with a textured look like this, keep the rest of the space minimal to avoid visually cluttering the room.

Edmund Barr

Conventionally seen in black, this blue version of damask-patterned wallpaper is refreshing when applied to a predominantly white kitchen. Similar to the red-patterned ceiling wallpaper we saw earlier, the motif matches the room's blue details, such as the decor, servingware, and bar stools.

David Tsay

Turn your entire kitchen into a work of art by applying funky, black-and-white abstract pattern paper throughout it. Bonus points if you pair it with pink or another uncommon color choice for cabinets.

Michael Partenio

A leaf motif wallpaper in shades of yellow brings even more cheer into an already bright room. This accent wall also highlights the kitchens charmingly rustic vaulted ceiling.

EDMUND BARR

The best way to design large, open kitchen layouts is to delegate sections to individual tasks. For example, if one corner of yours has a bar area, try wallpapering it to set it apart from the rest of the room. The soft-colored kaleidoscope-patterned paper seen here is understated yet will still draw attention from your party guests.

EDMUND BARR

Lay unique wallpaper on the inside of glass-front cabinets to create a striking yet subtle statement in your kitchen. The primarily black paper matches the glossy black cabinets, keeping it understated. However, the gold metal diamond shapes that lay over it make it a certified style standout.

Better Homes & Gardens

A pale blue and white mosaic-patterned wallpaper is the perfect addition to this soft-colored kitchen. It blends seamlessly with the blonde cabinets, ties together the darker blue pendant lights, and gives the right amount of visual interest as a backsplash.

Better Homes and Gardens

If youre a fan of French country decor, try out a fabulous pattern such as this one. This cream-colored paper adorned with an oversized blue motif appears as though its been painted on the walls. Feel free to use it in a traditional style or a French-inspired kitchen.

SarahAlba

Dont overlook the ceiling as a place to apply wallpaper in the kitchen, especially when there is little to no empty wall space. Here, a bold red and white patterned print on the ceiling ties in with the red kitchenware seen throughout the countertops and cabinets.

Kim Cornelison

With so many wallpaper options on the market today, choosing the perfect print can be tricky - unless you spot something as adorable as this peel-and-stick puppy pattern, which is a no-brainer. Bright yellow and white pop against the bottom half of the dark gray wall and give meaning to form and function.

Edmund Barr

Go bold with an all-over kitchen wallpaper idea and choose a design that blooms with a garden motif. Traditional white cabinetry, marble countertops, and open shelves prevent the bright blue backdrop from overwhelming visitors. A painted green island and playful fruit artwork pick up the colors of the floral pattern.

Edmund Barr

Continue the pattern of your kitchen wallpaper idea with coordinating artwork, accessories, and fabric for a cohesive design. The black and white kitchen wallpaper surrounding this space's cottage cabinetry continues in the cushion of a curved banquette and highlights oil-rubbed bronze hardware. Brown kitchen tiles on the floor bring a welcome neutral to the patterned space.

Robert Brinson

Shake up Shaker-style open cabinets with a pretty wallpaper backdrop or backsplash. Cut and measure your favorite design to fit the length of your cabinetry before installing the shelves. The rich espresso detail of this wallpaper increases the room's depth and emphasizes neutral dishware.

Tria Giovan

White countertops and kitchen cabinetry can quickly overwhelm a room and make it feel cold. Warm it up instantly with a high-contrast kitchen wallpaper idea surrounding the cabinets with inviting color. Small details, like gilded hardware, also elevate the look.

John Gruen

This kitchen wallpaper idea with a whimsical food theme adds charming detail to an otherwise neutral space. Apply it to a single accent wall, create kitchen borders, or wrap it around a butler's pantry for some hidden pizazz. The present-day print helps modernize this kitchen.

Werner Straube

Play up big scale in a small space to create energy in a room, making an impact without going overboard. In this space, a whimsical oversized zebra wallcovering drives the neutral palette in this fun and fresh wet bar area, while a big chandelier adds formality.

John Bessler

Just because you've featured color elsewhere in your space doesn't mean you have to play it safe on your walls. Upgrade from dull white paint to a shiny, metallic, modern kitchen wallpaper for a look that complements the sleek style of a back-painted glass backsplash. Neutral white cabinets prevent the color from taking over.

Anthony-Masterson

Make the area behind your island the focal point with vibrant florals. Buttery-yellow cabinets play off the rich red kitchen wallpaper and cool blue island in this historic home for an eclectic look in which each color stands out without clashing. A hardwood floor adds warmth.

Michael Partenio

Create a kitchen desk area that's both convenient and whimsical with a colorful wallpaper-covered bulletin board. Unlike wall tiles or paint, this kitchen wallpaper idea is easy to update. Look for discounted styles and change with the season; the easy revision won't fade and is simple to secure.

Show off exactly where you found inspiration for your kitchen design. Here, a Parisian ambiance comes from a vintage map applied with wallpaper paste and covered with polyurethane.

This idea works in other personal spaces, too. Try it for your next bathroom wallpaper, or bring it into the bedroom.

Sarah Dorio

Unite the past and present with modern kitchen wallpaper ideas. Here, a contemporary geometric design balances a retro pendant light and old-school vinyl bar stools. Pops of cherry red unite all of the kitchen colors.

Richard Johnson

Wallpaper isn't just for kitchen walls. Papering a nearby staircase with grasscloth wallpaper infuses an open kitchen plan with organic texture. The neutral backdrop allows custom woodwork and little touches of color to shine.

Werner Straube

Kitchen wallpaper with a sophisticated Moroccan pattern adds visual interest to this monochromatic butler's pantry. The fresh stencil helps modernize a soapstone countertop and backsplash with authentic period charm.

Philip Harvey

Pass up the geometry of tile or panelinggo for a fluid or organic look with a patterned wallpaper backsplash. In this contemporary kitchen, the damask design of the paper brings sinuous elegance to the hard edges of stainless steel and lacquered cabinets. Add a panel of clear tempered glass over the wallpaper for extra durability.

Edmund Barr

Glass front door cabinets are a stunning way to display some of your most beloved dishes, servingware, and glasses. But if you want to spruce yours up, try applying a green and white lattice wallpaper to the inside and watch your pieces really pop.

23 Jun 2024 | 07:15am IST Car driver Prakash along with three other occupants said a boulder fell just in front of his car, while another bounced few inches over his vehicle; in the second incident, a boulder broke loose from the cut mountainside at Dhargalim, and landed on a retaining wall; Oppn demands FIR against the contractor

Team Herald

PERNEM: The dangerous National Highway 66 would have taken lives of motorists at Malpem-Poroscodem, Pernem and at Mahakhazan, Dhargalim, both in Pernem taluka on Saturday, following two landslides.

Four occupants travelling in a Gujarat registered car escaped from the jaws of death at Malpem-Poroscodem, on the dangerous National Highway 66 when a boulder bounced over their car, after a landslide, smashed the retaining wall and blocked the highway.

O Heraldo had earlier highlighted the dangerous design of the low walls and the precarious and badly cut laterite mountain side which would pose a threat to the lives of commuters. The tourists hailing from Dapoli, Maharashtra were returning home following a visit to the State when the incident occurred at around 11 am.

The car driver Prakash along with three other occupants narrated his harrowing tryst with near death. He said one boulder fell just in front of his car, while another bounced a few inches over his vehicle.

Mission for Local president Rajan Korgaonkar, who rushed to the spot, questioned how such a low wall was built, when the mountain side was high and was badly cut posing a threat to motorists. The highway constructed by MVR Infra Projects Pvt Ltd had witnessed many fatal accidents and this dangerous landslide had put fear and trepidation into the minds of those travelling on this highway.

In the second incident, which also occurred on NH 66 at around 3.45 pm in a day, a boulder broke loose from the cut mountainside at Mahakhazan, Dhargalim, and landed precariously on the retaining wall.

On receiving the information, Pernem Deputy Collector Shivprasad Naik and PWD officials rushed to the spot. No one was injured in the second incident also.

Eyewitnesses feared that if the boulder is not removed, then it would roll on to the highway by night and could cause disaster.

An excavator which was brought to the site developed some problems and was being repaired.

Pernem MLA Pravin Arlekar and PWD engineers too rushed to the spot.

Later PWD engineers informed that the one lane of the highway would be closed and the traffic will be diverted via the old road till the retaining wall is reconstructed at Malpem.

The MLA instructed them to carry out the work of reconstructing the retaining wall on war footing and to take measures to prevent recurrence of landslides during monsoon.

Reacting to the issue, Goa Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) president Amit Patkar demanded immediate FIR against the contractor and to blacklist him and to recover all damages.

Patkar said that they had been raising this serious issue for the last two years and the insensitive BJP government was playing with the lives of Goans. The Chief Minister should book a criminal case against the so-called son-in-law contractor of the government.

Aldona MLA Adv Carlos Alvares Ferreira demanded that the government should take responsibility for the shoddy work as well and urged Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari to initiate an investigation and blacklist such contractors who deliver death traps instead of delivering solutions for traffic safety.

Israels Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahuannounced Monday the dissolution of the Israeli war cabinet. The move follows the departure of the centrists Benny Gantz and Gadi Eisenkot from the cabinet and governing coalition on June 9.

The original six-member war cabinet included three voting members, Netanyahu, Gantz, and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, as well as three observing members, Eisenkot, Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, and the ultra-orthodox politician Aryeh Deri. Since the departure of Gantz and Eisenkot, it has been unclear whether they would be replaced or the much-diminished war cabinet would be disbanded.

Netanyahus decision to disband the war cabinet came in response to pressure from the right to include the rightist security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, in the war cabinet as a replacement for Gantz. After Gantzs resignation, Ben-Gvir had demanded his inclusion in the cabinet in a post on X.

Decisions related to the current war in Gaza and possible negotiations will now fall to a broader security cabinet, which includes right-wingers Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who both support further military action in Gaza.
