7 Stunning Updates for Your Kitchen
With the kitchen being the heart of the home, it’s likely you have a mental image of what your dream kitchen looks like. Though it may seem unattainable, there’s a pretty good chance we can help you get a few steps closer to your vision with just a few simple updates. Keeping your kitchen up to date will ensure that it’s functional for your family while also adding value to your home when you’re ready to sell. Whether you’re building or remodeling, we hope these tips make your kitchen feel like a breath of fresh air no matter your budget.
1. Take it to the Ceiling
Don’t be afraid to create drama with the height of your cabinetry or trim by incorporating taller cabinets that reach all the way to the ceiling. This will make your kitchen space look larger and more open while also providing more storage space.
2. Outlets
Changing your countertop outlets to under cabinet plug mold is a great way to keep unsightly plugs from littering your kitchen backsplash. Also consider upgrading some of your plugs into USB outlets for convenience!
3. Range Hood
Have fun with your range hood! Consider other materials and finishes like plaster, tile, or stained wood details. Often times, the range hood is the focal point of the kitchen. Therefore, it’s important to make sure it’s both stylish and functional.
4. Stained Material
The trend of an all-white kitchen is slowly fading. Try adding stained material to your kitchen to give the space a natural element. This will keep your kitchen feeling warm and inviting for all who enter the space.
5. Hide Appliances
If you are aiming for your kitchen to have a more clean, sleek feel, consider hiding your appliances behind panels for a seamless look. Ice makers, dishwashers, fridge drawers, warming drawers, freezers, and even wine columns can all be hidden behind cabinet panels!
6. Backsplash
The backsplash is your opportunity to get creative with your kitchen and showcase your personal style. The possibilities are endless, from a simple white subway tile to a modern, mosaic tile.
7. Refresh Your Hardware
Hardware is like the cherry on top before the big reveal! While it may be a small detail, it’s one that can completely transform a space. When selecting your cabinet hardware, keep in mind that it’s best when it adds contrast and interest to the space. Make sure to take into account the scale of the hardware and select a style that complements your cabinetry.
The kitchen should be a place for gathering and entertaining, therefore it’s important to consider both beauty and functionality when building or remodeling it. If your kitchen is feeling dull or outdated, these updates are guaranteed to give your space a much-needed refresh. From updating finishes to selecting hardware, there are plenty of ways to ensure that your kitchen space accommodates your lifestyle while adding beauty to your home.
