If bright blue ranges aren’t to your taste, an easy way to dress up white cabinets or a farmhouse style kitchen is by creating a focal point with artwork. Ryan Hughes used a plaster bull on the wood range hood of this kitchen to add a sculptural detail to the room.

An easy way to maintain a minimalist feeling is with a black-and-white color scheme and open shelving like this kitchen by Anna Wooten Loggins for Serenbe’s Designer Showhouse. “I took the traditional subway tile backsplash and turned it on its head with these striking black tiles,” Wooten Loggins says. “It adds drama and depth to the space against the white Bell cabinetry.”
