Modern Kitchen Remodeling

Modern Kitchen Remodeling and Renovation

Concerning older kitchens, the first thoughts that come to mind are a lack of space and functionality. Also older kitchens are outdated, and generally unappealing. The kitchen is often the main focal point in a home. There’s a little more planning and creativity involved in modern kitchen remodeling and renovation of a kitchen versus a simple kitchen remodel. But it’s usually worth the extra effort as it can truly become an outstanding new feature in your home.

Modern Kitchen Design

Modern kitchen designs are sleek, smooth and minimalist in detail. So there are not a lot of ornate wood working or complexities. For example, finishes are more slick, simple and functional and they feature curved and rounded edges. Darker colors on counters are the main preference. Therefore dark brown “espresso” color floors and white cabinets are popular favorites as well.

The Planning Phase

When first beginning a redesign of an older outdated kitchen, there are several key things to be consider. These include the amount of aisle space and overall workspace, lighting and the amount of storage. It’s important to be realistic about how much space is needed to make a kitchen functional, rather than only going for style only. If you want to go really big you can remove a wall for an open floor plan modern kitchen.

Countertops and Cabinets

When it comes to remodeling kitchen countertops, granite countertops and marble countertops are elegant options. While concrete, limestone and stainless steel counters are a little trendier. For a bit of color, add a bright mosaic tile backsplash or pick out a vibrant wood floor finish. Cabinets tend to be darker in color, solid faced and functional. For homeowners who feel discouraged by their outdated kitchen: Remember that a quality design can create a gorgeous new space, regardless of space and sometimes even budget limitations.
