When beginning a kitchen renovation, you want to be sure you cover all the bases. From finding the right backsplash tiles to picking the perfect kitchen sink faucet, you want a design that fits your lifestyle and your budget. Check out these helpful kitchen remodel design tips and ideas that will help you create the space you have always wanted.
Install new kitchen cabinets
One of the best ways to improve the look of your kitchen is with new cabinets. They not only enhance your kitchen space, but it adds functionality too.
Cabinets can be used to hide kitchen clutter or show off your favorite pieces of china. Great kitchen cabinets can also add significant value to your home.
Choose the right countertop
Are you an amateur chef who likes to spend time preparing a great feast for your guests? Then you’ll want kitchen countertops that are sturdy and made from strong materials like granite?
Consider a built-in cutting board for easy slicing and dicing. For those interested in kitchen remodeling on a budget, consider painting kitchen countertops or using a laminate. It’s a great way to get maximum impact for minimum dollars.
Upgrade your sink and faucets
A simple upgrade to your kitchen sink and faucet can have an instant impact on your kitchen design. With countless designs to choose from, you can find a sink and faucet to match your lifestyle and kitchen layout.
We recommended buying your faucet early in your kitchen renovation process to ensure you choose a matching sink that lines up properly. Also, think about how your sink will be used. Do you need a deep sink for washing pots and pans?
Would you like an automatic faucet to accommodate people with disabilities or for easy access when cooking? Your kitchen remodeling expert can help you find the right sink and faucets to match your kitchen design.
Replace your backsplash
Customize your kitchen with a countertop backsplash. Functional as well as decorative, a unique backsplash is a simple way to add personality to your kitchen design. Remember, a backsplash isn’t just reserved for behind the stovetop. You can extend your backsplash along the length of your workspace for added protection and intensity.
Before choosing a countertop backsplash, decide on the overall color scheme of your kitchen. If you are going with whites or greys, try a pop of color with your backsplash. Looking for a more luxurious design? Try a brushed gold or stainless steel backsplash for instant sophistication.
Step up your flooring options
From spills to running shoes, your kitchen floors take a beating every day. That’s why it’s important to choose floors that can stand up to anything life throws at it, quite literally.
Consider your home’s overall design scheme when choosing a kitchen floor so it seamlessly blends with the rest of your aesthetic.
Popular flooring choices include:
- Hardwood
- Vinyl
- Laminate
- Stone tile
You also need to consider the potential for water damage and spills. Choose flooring that’s easy to keep clean and dry. Laminate is a great choice for homeowners on a budget who want a high-quality floor that will withstand years of use.
Add new kitchen furniture
If you already love the look of your kitchen, then maybe it’s time to consider updating your furniture. Over time, kitchen furniture can become outdated.
You can change the look and feel of your kitchen with some updated furniture pieces. Add some sleek new bar stools to your kitchen island or add a more traditional look with a new harvest table to enjoy meals with family.
Consider pieces that not only enhance the look of your kitchen but also add functionality like a new kitchen cart or installing a kitchen island. The kitchen island cost is minimal compared to the return on investment you’ll receive with this highly sought-after kitchen feature.
Install pulls and knobs
Homeowners looking to make a subtle but impactful change to their kitchen should consider changing their cabinet pulls and knobs. Swapping out old brass handles for sleek stainless steel ones can instantly modernize your kitchen.
New pulls and knobs are a great way to add texture and style to a kitchen. One of the most popular designs for modern kitchens is brushed metals which add depth and character.
For added sophistication, match your pulls and knobs to your kitchen faucet color and texture. This will help bring your kitchen together and create an element of harmony in your design.
