20 Distinctively Unique Kitchen Design Ideas

For people who love to prepare meals, there are core design concerns with the kitchen – namely is there enough counter space, how is the stove, and can the refrigerator store lots of food. Looking past these areas of concern though, there are many opportunities to serve up a kitchen that is truly one of a kind.

Some areas that people can create amazing kitchen design are the smallest ones. For example, cabinet handles. Having unique handles adds flair to your kitchen. Other things that can also be distinct in design are the accoutrements such as the dishtowels, napkins, wall treatments and even placement of plants like fresh herbs.
