25 Small Eclectic Kitchens Full of Color and Personality

ByMyProperty Life

When it comes to eclectic style we are even more careful than usual with decorating choice and strongly believe that it is not a style for everyone. It requires plenty of care to combine various elements of the style together and it definitely is different for different people. What works in one eclectic space does not work in other eclectic rooms and it also depends on the size of the room at times. In the small kitchen, eclectic style looks great when done right and it gives the small space a personality of its own. Since everyone has a different idea of what eclectic style is, you have a kitchen that is space-savvy, stylish and unique as well.

From the shabby-eclectic kitchen to those with a touch of industrial flair thrown into he mix, check out these fab inspirations –

Beautiful Blocks of Color

If you love beautiful blocks of colors being combined with a neutral backdrop, then the modern eclectic style is perfect for you. You can combine different colors without much fuss in here and even bright hues like red, blue and green can find space when coupled with a more neutral backdrop. Adding a couple of bright colors can be simple enough as you choose colorful kitchen range or even a retro refrigerator that comes in a bold hue. Moving between different colors as seasons change is not an issue in here as you already have a hint of every color in here. Pendants, kitchenware and accessories can further accentuate these vibrant colors.

Maximizing Space with Elegance

Even in the small eclectic kitchen space can be maximized with sacrificing aesthetics and the first place to start is the kitchen corner. Sometimes, even a tiny little nook next to the breakfast area or dining space can be transformed into a lovely little kitchen that is space-conscious. A series of closed cabinets and open shelves can do the trick and once again, we turn to the vertical room on offer to provide us with more storage area. Any open space above the wall-mounted cabinets can be used for stacking the extra, unused kitchenware and freeing up the central area of the kitchen allows you to accommodate a small, round dining area.

Lighting Decor and Breakfast Bars

Lighting is always an important element in home design and it can make or break the look of a room even if you get everything else right. In the small kitchen with a style that is as eccentric as eclectic, lighting assumes twice the importance. Create an even layer of artificial lighting along with a flood of natural light to find that perfect balance between both. Mirrored finishes, metallic accents and other lighter finishes in the kitchen can provide visual balance in a kitchen where loud colors, greenery and extravagant pattern is always welcome!

  • Kahua Kuili Residence

    The Kahua Kuili residence is a modern interpretation of the classic Hawai’i summer camp. In keeping with the firm’s design philosophy, the warm yet spacious retreat was designed with longevity in mind. Kahua Kuili incorporates centuries-old indigenous design elements paired with contemporary attitudes to create a residence that will remain relevant for generations to come. Located within the dry portion of the Kona Coast at the base of the large cinder cone Pu’u Kuili, the property offers expansive views of the Pacific Ocean and Kua Bay as well as mountain views of Hualalai. Previously the site of a working ranch, the transition to residence became an opportunity to return the majority of the landscape to its natural state: a mix of lava and bunch grasses. Inspired by traditional Hawaiian architecture, the 5,590-square-foot residence is composed of multiple structures that simultaneously provide privacy through their scattered arrangement and community through the open spaces between them. The camp-like retreat’s focal point is the main hale (Hawaiian for house), which provides a central gathering place for family and friends. The main hale opens to ocean views and the central, protected courtyard, enabling activity to flow easily between indoor and outdoor space, including to the adjacent pool and tiki bar. The bar/lounge area spills over into the pool, complete with multiple lounge chairs and breathtaking ocean views. A barbecue/luau area allows for gatherings of family and friends who can picnic under the comfort and shade of a magnificent kiawe tree. Deep roof overhangs define the transition between inside and outside and offer shelter from sun and rain. Outdoor spaces link the separate structures—guest quarters, studio, wash house, garage—to one another. The use of simple, durable materials, such as board-formed concrete, western red cedar, large sliding doors, operable wood ventilation louvers, and rope lashing help reinforce the camp-like aesthetic. Western red cedar was selected for its resistance to termites and dry rot as well as for the beautiful way it patinas with age. Natural stone cowboy walls surrounding the property help create a sense of privacy from nearby houses. The interiors, by Marion Philpotts, were designed in a comfortable, contemporary aesthetic with bright colors and retro elements that tie into the modern theme of the structure. The expansive cedar-clad kitchen features a breakfast bar, dining table, and state-of-the-art appliances. Tall ceilings, large windows, and grand sliding doors that open to the courtyard contribute to the casual ease of the house. Intimate spaces, which include cozy reading nooks and relaxing sitting areas, are scattered throughout the home. Kahua Kuili is the quintessential destination for relaxation, where one can unwind comfortably and in style, all while enjoying the natural climate and landscape of Hawaii. Project team
