If you’re feeling a little lost on where to start with a fall kitchen update, just take a second. You are totally in the right place to get going!
We have some seriously beautiful kitchen ideas to show you, and the list isn’t huge, which makes deciding so much easier.
Dark, Dashing, and Oh-So-Chic
Okay, so maybe the bright, airy, wood-filled kitchen isn’t your vibe. I totally get it! If you’re looking for something different this fall, going in the total opposite direction might be exactly what you need.
I’m seeing so many designers and homeowners leaning away from the expected lately. A kitchen packed with dark grays and blacks gives off this seriously chic, city feel that’s a perfect alternative. I know this look isn’t for the faint of heart.
But a dramatic, dark kitchen is an absolute showstopper. It will totally impress your friends and make your whole open-concept space feel incredibly polished.
Getting the lighting just right in a dark kitchen has a major effect.
The Colors of the Season
You know one of the simplest tricks for a seasonal refresh? Playing with color! It’s amazing how much of a difference it makes for giving your kitchen that perfect fall feeling.
Whether you go big or just add a tiny accent, a splash of orange is the perfect choice for a fall kitchen. It just works. Plus, it gets your space totally ready for all the fun holidays coming up.
Hits of red and green are another great pick for this time of year, and they transition so well into the winter when the holidays roll around.

Scandinavian Style Is Still Queen
It’s no secret that modern kitchens and Scandinavian style are a perfect match. The built-in simplicity and clean lines of Scandi design are ideal for a contemporary kitchen where you want a less-is-more feel.
But the style also has a ton of warmth, thanks to all the wood elements. This fits perfectly with the huge trend of wood-and-white kitchens that are taking over homes everywhere.
What you get is a smart kitchen that’s super functional, uses space efficiently, keeps clutter out of sight, and looks amazing from every angle. Plus, you get the bonus of tons of natural light paired with the perfect task lighting!

Taps, Handles, and a Bit of Sparkle
Adding some metallic shine to the kitchen is super easy, and you can do it in so many different ways. A good place to start is by swapping out old, boring taps for sparklier, modern ones that match your overall theme.
You’ve got tons of choices here, from shiny brass to sleek chrome. Pendant lights over the kitchen island are another great way to bring in that metallic charm, and even the cabinet handles can make a huge impact.
When it comes to the kitchen, you can never have too much sparkle.

Flexible Kitchens with Modular Solutions
I’m a huge fan of modular kitchens because they are just so practical and easy to design with. But this fall, let’s think about how they look, too.
Modular kitchens with smart shelving, space-saving details, and well-used corners also look great when you mix open and closed cabinets. A few floating shelves in the background is always a good idea, and of course, you want to make sure the flexible pieces fit your kitchen’s style and theme.
Whether it’s a Lazy Susan to hide clutter, a wheeled island, or modular shelving, pick the idea that’s perfect for you.
