Kitchen Remodel: 101 Stunning Ideas for Your Kitchen Design

When it comes to designing and decorating a home, every little section of it is equally important — each room must have its own unique flavor which will separate it from the rest, but will still fit with your theme. While both the living room and the bedrooms get plenty of attention, it is actually the kitchen that gives you loads of creative freedom. So if you are not happy with the look and feel of your current kitchen you should seriously think about remodeling.

Why Remodel Your Kitchen?

The first and foremost question that you need to address is why you are currently opting for a kitchen remodeling. There can be a variety of reasons, but most of them will include either cramped space, lack of smart storage options, reduced functionality and a look that is not trendy anymore. A culmination of these or even any one of the above should be enough for you to go for a remodeling that suits your needs. But remember that you need to convey what you are looking for to your designer, clearly, so that you get the results you want. Doing research on renovation advice can help educate and create inspiration for your own kitchen renovation.

Kitchen Remodel: What Options You Have?

What most people do not know is that there are various ways in which you can remodel your kitchen. There are fundamentally 3 different routes that you can take —

Pull and replace – This type of remodel is pretty much what its name promises. Your designer will replace everything that currently lies in your kitchen with newer stuff and that includes cabinets, countertops, appliances and a lot more. Remember that in this form, you will still use the same floor plan, but it will be just a new look to the old kitchen template already in place.

Cosmetic makeover – If you are planning to make just a few changes and are working on a small budget, then this is the perfect way forward. A cosmetic remodel will alter some simple things like kitchen countertop, a few cabinets, maybe new lighting or anything that needs to be tweaked slightly to still bring about a dramatic change in the look.

Custom renovation – This is the ‘full throttle’ version of things and you will get the entire thing here as you can change pretty much every aspect of your kitchen and even bring down a wall or two (if your home permits that) to add more space as well.

Current trends to look out for – There are some simple and easy current trends that you can incorporate into your own kitchen remodeling scheme to get a more trendy look while also opting for perfect ergonomics.

Stainless steel cabinets in the kitchen

Here are a few pointers for your kitchen remodel —

  • Stainless steel kitchen countertops are currently all the rage. Going for one will serve you well in the long run.
  • Open floor plans that extend into dining spaces and even at times have visual contact with the living room are the latest trend.
  • Cabinets in multiple finishes and an array of shades add color to your kitchen along with a dash of tasteful and elegant artwork on the walls.
  • Energy-efficiency and green appliances are in. Not only do they appear fashionable, but they actually also do save plenty on the power bills. So opt for smart and savvy appliances.

Pick smartly when it comes to a designer and choose someone you are comfortable communicating with. Also, before you kick start the entire project look around and do ample research on kitchen models across design sites on the internet, which will give you fresh new ideas you can incorporate in your kitchen remodeling plans.

So here it is — Our amazing list of kitchens that will inspire your remodeling
