Modernize Your Kitchen with Sleek Hobby Lobby Decor Accents
Are you looking to give your kitchen a contemporary facelift but don't want to break the bank? Infusing modern style into your cooking space doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. With some clever tips and affordable accents from Hobby Lobby, you can easily transform the look of your kitchen for a fraction of a full remodel cost.
The key to achieving a sleek, modern aesthetic is focusing on clean lines, minimal ornamentation, a neutral color palette, natural materials, and metallic accents. This creates an organized, uncluttered feel perfect for contemporary homes. By incorporating just a few key elements, you can bring a fresh, up-to-date style to your existing kitchen.
Refresh Your Cabinets and Island for a Modern Look
Your cabinets provide the foundation for your kitchen's style, so this is a great place to start a modern makeover. If your current cabinetry is dated or worn, consider painting or refinishing them in a gray, white, or black tone. This neutral palette keeps the focus on the cabinetry's clean lines. Swap out the old hardware for minimalist handles and pulls in a brushed nickel, chrome, or black finish, readily available at Hobby Lobby.
For the island, try staining the base cabinets a darker hue than the perimeter cabinets for contrast. Or opt for a sleek stainless steel or leather-wrapped island base. Hobby Lobby sells affordable and stylish barstools in leather, metal, and other modern materials to complement your revamped island.
Countertops and Backsplashes
When selecting countertops and backsplashes, stick with materials like quartz, marble, concrete, or butcher block that align with the modern aesthetic. For an eye-catching backsplash, install geometric tile patterns or a sleek metal backsplash available at Hobby Lobby. You can also imbue visual interest and texture with a stone slab backsplash.
Hobby Lobby sells affordable geometric patterned tile transfers that stick onto your existing backsplash for an instant update. Pair with marble trays from Hobby Lobby displayed on your countertops to add warmth and dimension against the sleek surfaces.
Modern Lighting and Appliances
Track lighting, pendant lights, and recessed lighting help enhance the minimalist look. Undercabinet lighting provides optimal task lighting. For appliances, select options with stainless steel or matte finishes and clean lines for a cohesive modern style. Hobby Lobby offers a wide range of lighting and small appliances to peruse.
Use Hobby Lobby Decor to Showcase Your Modern Aesthetic
Beyond the foundational kitchen elements, half the fun of designing a modern space is decorating it! This allows you to inject personality while highlighting your sleek new aesthetic.
Cabinets and Island
Keep your cabinet and island decor minimalist. Hobby Lobby has an assortment of glass canisters, trays, and jars to stash kitchen essentials in plain sight. Complement them with baskets, ceramics, and accessories in neutral tones. Don’t overlook your new hardware from Hobby Lobby – it offers an easy way to add modern flair.
Countertops and Backsplash
While your counter and backsplash selections contribute to the modern vibe, you can enhance them with targeted accents. Place marble, wood, or concrete trays from Hobby Lobby on your countertops for a layered look. Geometric patterned tile transfers applied to your backsplash create captivating focal points.
Beyond decor, stock your countertops with sleek glass, metal, or stone accessories like fruit bowls, soap dispensers, and utensil holders. Hobby Lobby stocks these affordably.
Art, Wall Decor, and Textiles
Make a statement with abstract canvas art, metal wall sculptures, prints with clean lines and shapes. Anchor it with pillows, placemats, and oven mitts in solids or subtle geometric patterns available at Hobby Lobby. Sheer curtain panels also soften the space.
Flooring and Rugs
Polished concrete, vinyl wood plank, or patterned vinyl tile flooring enhance the modern vibe. Layer it with solid-colored shag or short-pile rugs from Hobby Lobby to define spaces in an open floor plan.
Table and Seating
Opt for sleek dining sets in wood, leather, and metal. A classic tulip table paired with molded plastic or leather chairs makes a perfect modern statement. Barstool seating from Hobby Lobby in leather, metal, and acrylic marries comfort and style.
To optimize your new modern space:
- Direct sightlines upward with tall cabinetry and vertical storage solutions
