Kitchen Remodel?

The kitchen truly is the heart of the home, and it doesn't do any good to have outdated appliances or ancient backsplashes. Kitchen remodels are a lot of work, but they truly transform the feel of a home. Here are some guidelines and tips for your own kitchen remodel!

     1. Upgraded Appliances

Appliances begin to look dated fast, whether it's the stained microwave that you've had for years, or the oven that looks like it’s been through a house fire. Updating your appliances and springing for that new stainless steel fridge can completely change the look of your kitchen. There are so many stylistic options for appliances that can fit your style, as well as modern options for cooking settings and water filters. The options can be overwhelming, so make sure you have an idea of what is best suited to your needs before trying to decide!

     2. Stunning Backsplashes

The backsplash tiles of a kitchen can really set the mood. If your style is more modern and minimalistic, a clean, white backsplash will definitely pull everything together. The backsplash is where you can really get creative, and choose different color themes or pattern options to let your individual style shine through. It’s important to make sure that the tiles don’t clash with your countertops, but instead, perfectly compliment the overall aesthetic of your new kitchen.

     3. Countertops

On the subject of countertops, there are so many different ways you can go. For a darker theme, a black or charcoal marble can really influence the room. The countertop is normally what people are first going to see when they walk into the kitchen, and the color and material you use will set the tone for your style. The options are endless and can be stressful, but once you find the perfect countertop your kitchen will begin to come together.

     4. Kitchen Island

A kitchen island can have many uses. It can be a wonderful place to put some barstools for more casual eating or hanging out, or you can make it the perfect workspace to cook at. Having an island as gives you that extra storage space that you may need, and it could also be a great place for a drink fridge or a place to put the nicer dishes! Kitchens can be a good place to hang out in a more casual setting, so picking out some nice stools or chairs that match the aesthetic of your kitchen is definitely worth it.

A new kitchen can be stressful, but it doesn't have to be. With the right style in mind and a good idea of the options that fit your needs, your kitchen will soon become your favorite room in the house!
