Hybrid kitchen design: finding the perfect blend of styles
“Hybrid” is a frequently used word nowadays, we can stumble into it everywhere from cars through electronics to heating systems and so on.
This is not a newly made up word, and its meaning is quite simple: it represents something that fuses two or more different things in it.
Plants or animals that are crossbreeds of two different species can also be called hybrids, but let’s just focus on man-made things, shall we.
In the case of kitchen furniture, the phrase “hybrid” can mean a couple of things, depending on the nature of changes you make.
But one thing is sure: a hybrid kitchen can improve not just the aesthetics, but the value of your home!
Hybrid in style
Can you imagine a kitchen with various styles that harmonize with each other?
This can be the first meaning of hybrid, when you have kitchen furniture made in 2 or 3 different fashion, and still being harmonic and balanced.
It takes some courage, but the result will be an exciting, playful and homey kitchen where you’ll really like to spend your time.
Of course, some styles don’t really match, for example Victorian or neo-baroque combined with ultra-modern may seem a bit odd, but who we are to judge anyone’s taste?
However, if some elements, like the cabinet doors and the kitchen island are not made in the same style, they still can get along fine.
Hybrid in color and material
Just like with the style, a variation of a few colors and materials can also be considered hybrid.
There are no written or unwritten rules that prohibit the use of more than one dominant color in a kitchen, so don’t hesitate to set your imagination free!
If you want natural wood cabinets with a dark granite countertop and a bright white backsplash, then why not?
Or a greyish-blue kitchen island in the center of a dominantly beige kitchen?
Always remember: it is your living space, your rules and your decisions, you are the one who will live and spend time in that kitchen, and therefore it has to fit your personal needs.
Hybrid in function
A kitchen is not strictly for cooking and dining, it can be used for alternate purposes as well!
For example, you can create some extra storing space with clever designing, and you don’t have to keep the canned ingredients in the garage anymore.
Or you can place an extra desk and cabinets in an unused corner, and use it as a working or studying place!
You can also gain some extra space by getting rid of a kitchen peninsula and replacing ti with an island – a well thought remodel can do literal miracles!
