One of the main reasons you’re starting a kitchen remodeling project is to update and modernize your kitchen. You’re probably looking at new refrigerators, ovens, and other appliances; however, you should also keep in mind ways to modernize your floor plan and design. Here are some of our favorite ways to update and make your kitchen more modern!
Open Shelving-Ripping out the cabinets and installing open shelving is the future of kitchen design. Open shelving can cut thousands from your kitchen remodeling budget and make your space look bigger and brighter. There are also many ways to add innovative storage solutions to your lower cabinets or kitchen island.
Lighting Fixtures-Get rid of the fluorescent lightbulbs and upgrade your ceiling fans to something from this century. Pendant lighting, geometric chandeliers, wicker, refined industrial, colored glass, and hanging lighting at different levels can give your kitchen personality and an artistic touch. Connecting your lights to a smart device such as Alexa or Google Home is a great way to make your kitchen lighting modern.
Replace the Flooring- Is your kitchen floor still rocking the 1980s vinyl or linoleum? It’s time to upgrade and replace the floor during kitchen remodeling. Timeless and classic materials such as hardwood, ceramic tile, and stone are always in style and will always look modern. While these flooring options are slightly more expensive, they last longer and will add more value to your home.
Energy Efficiency-The future is environmentally friendly, and more kitchen remodeling projects are taking eco-friendly approaches to their work, including using recycled materials, energy-efficient appliances, and smart building methods. If you are looking to sell your home soon, an upgraded and modern, eco-friendly kitchen will add to the curb appeal and value of your home.
Painting-A fresh coat of paint on the walls and cabinets is one of the easiest and cheapest ways of making your kitchen look newer and modern. Many homeowners are choosing brighter colors that pop or backsplashes that show off their personalities during their kitchen remodeling.
There are many more ways to update your kitchen to something modern and trendy. Working with a professional kitchen remodeling company is the best way to ensure your modern, dream kitchen is achievable.
