Last week, we unveiled the winners of HGTV’s Ultimate House Hunt 2015. In case you missed it, this was a competition highlighting some of the most amazing homes in the world — we’re talking houses on private islands, century-old castles and smartly designed tiny homes. In the Amazing Kitchens category, this sophisticated space in Dana Point, Calif. earned the most votes for its creamy cabinets, timeless marble details and waterfront location. While a kitchen like this may be out of the budget for most of us (and those ocean views certainly come at a premium), we can still steal style inspiration from it. If this kitchen got your vote, try these tips for achieving the look in your own home.

1. White Semi-Custom Cabinets. White kitchens are all the rage right now, and white or cream-colored cabinetry can instantly brighten up a dreary cooking space. While this kitchen’s cabinetry is likely custom, home improvement stores offer semi-custom cabinetry in a wide variety of styles and colors at a much lower cost. For an even more wallet-friendly update, try painting your existing cabinets and embellishing them with decorative molding. Learn how to paint kitchen cabinets like a pro >>
2. Herringbone Marble Mosaic Tile. One word on what makes this kitchen so stunning: marble. From the countertops to the backsplash, the space is enveloped in this elegant stone. Marble is pricey, but even a small amount used strategically can make a big statement. Try a herringbone-patterned marble mosaic tile backsplash in a high-impact spot, like above the stove.

3. Marble-Topped Kitchen Island. It’s a fairly large investment, but if you have the square footage for an island in your kitchen you can add serious style and functionality. Topped with richly veined Carrara marble, this island features seating space on one side and myriad storage options on the other. Don’t have enough room for an island? Add extra storage and prep space with a kitchen cart on casters that can be rolled aside when not in use. Look for a cart in a style similar to your cabinetry for a cohesive look. <a target="_self" …read more
