Kitchen Updates That Pay Back(53)

Open floor plans
With open floor plans, it more important than ever to ensure a kitchen blends architecturally with the rest of a home. Whether it's an elegant Georgian, cottage-style, or Tuscan, such as this Maryland home designed by Mary Jo Donohoe, be consistent with style details such as colors, patterns, and architectural features. Take cues from that style and infuse it into your kitchen for a room that speaks volumes about you, your home, and your personality.
