Design a Full Remodel
If you’re looking to change up your kitchen and not mind knocking out a wall here or there to create that open-concept design, there are some popular must-haves you can add such as extra cabinet storage space, a workstation or eat-in island with lower cabinet storage, and higher end plumbing such as pot-fillers, apron sinks, or even an extra sink for an additional cooking workspace. Here are a few styles and add-ons worth noting if you’re considering a kitchen renovation.
1. Create a Coastal Feel with Blues and Whites
You might be looking for a relaxed, airy feeling which will call everyone together. And because the kitchen is often a place we go to unwind at the end of the day or to share a meal with family or friends, the coastal look has become a desired and popular kitchen style. Design elements such as white cabinets, natural wood, and blue accent island cabinets and walls all contribute to creating a coastal kitchen. Add an eye-catching backsplash that has some blue design tones.
2. Design a Modern Farmhouse Look
Modern Farmhouse remains a design favorite and still trendy in Florida homes. Implement natural wood elements, exposed brick as a backsplash, shiplap walls in antique whites and muted colors, and top off flooring in wood-look tile or engineered wood. Modern farmhouse designs also play up mixed metallic textures more than ever to give spaces an appealing new life.
3. Prefer Contemporary?
Up and coming contemporary style is growing in popularity and includes dark cabinets and a light countertop with a beautiful marble backsplash that goes up to the ceiling. Homeowner’s want a more unique and intimate style other than light and bright. Install high end modern wi-fi appliances. Create a wet bar space for entertaining. Add some under-cabinet and under-counter lighting around your island to give your kitchen extra mood lighting pizzazz.
Give Your Kitchen These Added Uplifts
If you want to focus on a beautiful yet functional kitchen, here are some added extras to incorporate in your design.
4. Focus on the countertops
Whatever style you choose—from modern farmhouse–to coastal, don’t forget to emphasize those countertops with granite, quartz, or marble. Homeowner’s can actually use contrasting countertops–for the perimeter wall—and an opposite tone for the island.
5. Raise cabinets or create open shelving
Raising cabinets to the ceiling can create extra storage space for those less often used dishes and goblets. They also add the illusion of a higher ceiling. Use in-cabinet lighting behind frosted or clear glass on the higher accent cabinets to provide interesting lighting effects.
Open shelving allows homeowners to showcase family heirlooms and other dishes and glassware. Open shelving can also expose a fabulous backsplash.
6. Create stunning spaces with lighting
Lighting can make a kitchen sparkle. The choices for kitchen island and dining area are limitless. Recessed lighting has become a must-have in kitchens for all the cooking and preparation workspaces available. Remember to add that under counter lighting as well as LED strip lighting underneath breakfast bars add impressive mood lighting. Have windows above the sink? Try some classy swivel task lighting. Rule of thumb: wherever you task, place lighting.
