Kitchen Design Ideas You Will Love
Everyone’s dream kitchen starts with a vision. Whether a modern, minimalist space or a cozy, traditional atmosphere, you can create the perfect space for your family with the right design ideas. But where do you start? Today we will explore some of the hottest trends in kitchen design and show you how to make your kitchen look like it came straight out of an interior design magazine. Let’s dive in!
Think about how you want to live in your kitchen and how your current kitchen is not measuring up. Your kitchen is a functional space so think carefully before you get too trendy. If you want trendy then focus on things that are easier to change out when the trend goes away. This includes paint colors, light fixtures, cabinet hardware, and back splash tiles.
Cabinet Makeover
One of the quickest ways to upgrade your kitchen is to refresh the cabinets. Whether you want something classic and timeless or trendy and modern, new cabinets will instantly transform your space. If you want to avoid investing in brand-new cabinets, consider giving them a facelift with fresh paint or stain. Features like glass doors and decorative pulls add depth. Cabinets that go all the way up to the ceiling make your kitchen space look bigger and more custom. Pro Tip: Home Depot has a free kitchen remodel design service. It’s fun to see it come together in a 3-D model. While open shelves look cool, they are not practical so if you like this look, think about using this more as an accent versus a storage solution.
Open Floor Plan
An open floor plan continues to be a desired look for buyers. Allowing the kitchen and dining area to flow into one another seamlessly by removing any physical walls or barriers between them also creates sight lines and allows for more light. Just think about how to position your sink so that guests in the dining room aren’t looking at a pile of dirty dishes when they look into the kitchen!
Statement Islands
If you want your kitchen island to stand out from the rest of the room, you need a statement island that screams, “look at me!” Investing in custom cabinetry for your island can add texture, depth, and drama without breaking the bank; opt for contrasting colors or materials for maximum impact. For example, choose an oak countertop against white-painted cabinets for a classic look that will stay in style, or use two different shades of blue on either side of the island for a bold look that pops. You can up your kitchen island game by adding a second stove top and sink, too. Choose beautiful lighting to hang over the island to complete the look.

Making changes to your kitchen doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive – sometimes, making minor tweaks is enough to transform it completely. From cabinet makeovers and open floor plans down to statement islands – no matter what type of change you’re looking for, there’s
sure to be something out there that will fit your budget and taste perfectly. However, a complete kitchen remodel – although more expensive – will surely increase the value of your home and create a joyful space. Happy designing!
