I almost always recommend this for a small kitchen. Any ideas? Okay I'll just tell you. A panel-ready dishwasher. ... Ironically, this and my fridge cabinet go-to are two things I wish I had done in my own kitchen. Back to my point. Having the panelled dishwasher means one less visual break in the cabinetry which creates the illusion of the space being larger. Almost all appliance brands will have a panel ready option and they are quite easy to put together. . . . #kitchenrenovation #oldhomenewkitchen #inspiration #smallspaces #hireadesigner #loveyourspace #loveyourhome #visualtricks #interiors #home #homedecor #neutrals #colourfulaccents #collected #tileenvy #functionalandbeautiful #brightandcolourful #doingneutralright #transformation #designtofeelthewayyouwanttofeel #lifestyle #woodwhitecolour #yeginteriordesign #housetour #homerenovation #yegdesign #yeg #kierstinsmythdesign #marrakeshtile #panelreadydishwasher See more

Want to see one of my tricks? It's this fridge cupboard. I like to make a standard fridge look more built in so I often build out the fridge cabinet so that it covers the sides of the fridge, with just the doors visible from the side. And then I make it look like magic by using the gable panels to cover it all up. ... A little effort for big impact. . . . #kitchenrenovation #oldhomenewkitchen #inspiration #smallspaces #hireadesigner #loveyourspace #loveyourhome #interiordesign #interiors #home #homedecor #neutrals #colourfulaccents #collected #tileenvy #functionalandbeautiful #brightandcolourful #organicwhitequartz #transformation #designtofeelthewayyouwanttofeel #lifestyle #woodwhitecolour #yeginteriordesign #housetour #homerenovation #yegdesign #yeg #kierstinsmythdesign #marrakeshtile #designermagic See more

THIS. TILE. Fun fact: my client and I laid out all of these tiles and sat and put them into their order one by one. Based on balance, preference and trying to not duplicate in the same space. Then each one got a grid number written on the back and a photo taken of their placement with the grid number associated to it. It's these kind of details that make it all work. And how cute is her yellow kettle? So inviting and the perfect pop of ...extra colour! . . . #kitchenrenovation #oldhomenewkitchen #inspiration #smallspaces #hireadesigner #loveyourspace #loveyourhome #interiordesign #interiors #home #homedecor #neutrals #colourfulaccents #collected #tileenvy #functionalandbeautiful #brightandcolourful #doingneutralright #transformation #designtofeelthewayyouwanttofeel #lifestyle #woodwhitecolour #yeginteriordesign #housetour #homerenovation #yegdesign #yeg #kierstinsmythdesign #marrakeshtile #yellowkettle See more
