Sick of your cramped, barely usable kitchen? Now’s a great time for a change. A few simple adjustments can turn just about any kitchen into a dreamy culinary experience. You just need to know where to start. Here are some of the best kitchen remodeling tips to help.
Wood cabinets are out, and so are mono-toned colored cabinets. Instead, opt for something two-toned. Use lighter-colored cabinets at the top and choose a darker color for lower ones. Don’t be afraid to mix and match your colors, either. White and mint green or sky blue, sand and walnut, oatmeal and gray…you get the idea.
Look at the most functional kitchens out there and they all have one thing in common: lots of workspace. You can achieve the same thing even if your kitchen is on the smaller side. A kitchen island can add counter space, cabinets, and even a sink or stovetop depending on your layout.
It’s time to ditch the 2000s-era side-by-side fridge and freezer for something better. You’ll find tons of high-end refrigerators on the market with some pretty interesting features. If you’re a technophile, smart refrigerators can help you track your inventory. A fridge with a middle drawer helps blend freezer and fridge space.
Your kitchen sink says a lot about your kitchen, and it affects your experience in many ways. Changing that dated stainless steel option out for something new can make a huge difference. A ceramic farmhouse sink is a great option. You can also find large sinks with multiple compartments, those with built-in strainers, and more.
Task lighting is the key to a highly functional but elegant kitchen. Ditch those old light fixtures and install a combination of pendant and can lights so that you can dial in just the right level of illumination, whether you’re making differ for the family or having an impromptu romantic meal for two.
