Contemporary Kitchen Remodel
A Harmonious Marriage of Style and Function
The kitchen is so much more than just a room where you go to prepare and eat your meals. It’s also the place where the entire family gets together at least once every day and, aside from sharing a deliciously prepared meal, share their stories and events of the day that is soon to be behind them. Precisely because of that, every kitchen is a special place and, as such, deserves a special treatment when it comes to style. So, if you’re planning on remodelling your kitchen, here are some interesting ways you can bring together both style and function and tie them in the holy matrimony.
Show the floors some love
A kitchen floor does experience some significant wear and tear over time. That’s why tiles have been one of the most popular kitchen flooring solutions probably since they were invented. However, if you wish to style up your kitchen and make it not only functional but beautiful as well, feel free to forget that kitchen floor tiles ever existed. Instead, opt for a beautiful hardwood flooring solution and enjoy the warmth and pizzazz it will instantly bring in your kitchen.
Bring in plenty of light
Regardless of whether you have big windows in your kitchen or not, you should bring more light into it. Layering various lighting solutions throughout your kitchen will not only make all of its elements instantly pop, but it will also make the entire food prep process significantly easier, as there will be plenty of light helping you every step of the way.
Implement contemporary solutions
If you’re planning on changing your appliances as well, always go for the top Energy Star rated ones, as these will significantly reduce the energy waste. Also, consider installing a reverse osmosis water filter system to make sure your family always has access to completely safe drinking water. Finally, don’t shy away from implementing the newest technology in your kitchen as well, as it can significantly help you out and even boost your creativity when food prep is concerned.
Pop goes the colour
Just like you probably have a statement wall in your living room, you shouldn’t avoid making a statement in your kitchen either. Choosing a unique design for your backsplash and implementing some bold pops of colour will only instantly elevate the look of your kitchen. One of the favourite modern ideas is opting for a stainless-steel backsplash and going with contrasting, monochromatic walls and cabinets. However, if such a minimalistic design is not your personal favourite, you can choose any colour and style you want. Just make sure you create a cohesive, warm, inviting design.
Nature is always trendy
Finally, when remodelling your kitchen, keep in mind that the raw beauty of nature is not likely to go out of fashion any time soon. This means that you can absolutely never go wrong with wood, cork, stone and, of course, greenery. So, aside from opting for these beautiful natural materials for your kitchen furniture, you should also think about implementing a vertical garden wall in your kitchen design and making it the focal point of the room. Of course, aside from using it as a great statement piece, a green wall is the perfect place to grow all of your favourite herbs and spices. Both the function and the incredible style right then and there.
An awesome kitchen is not just the one that looks amazing or the one that’s super functional, no. An awesome kitchen is the one that instantly makes you want to spend more time in it, luring you in with a beautiful stylish decor and utmost functionality. So, if this sounds like a place where you can see yourself enjoying the time spent in, roll up your sleeves and get down to work.
