This visual kitchen decorating guide will help inspire and give you design ideas for planning a colorful and contemporary kitchen design and decor project.
This kitchen decorating mood board was inspired by the beautiful collage artwork titled “Luminous” by artist Jay Kelly.
I saw Kelly’s art exhibit during Miami Art Week and instinctively knew that “Luminous” would serve as a colorful muse for my next kitchen design mood board project.
Art is like the blood that courses through my veins. I live for it. It truly brings my spirit to life. Therefore, it’s no surprise that it guided my aesthetic vision for this color-saturated modern dream kitchen design.
This piece of art coupled with the innovative, technology-driven and beautifully designed kitchen appliances and plumbing fixtures that I discovered at the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS), resulted in a hue-infused, art-inspired kitchen decorating mood board. (See above for mood board.)
