4 Kitchen Remodeling Ideas to Inspire You

How does your kitchen style look? Could it use a refresh? If so, you're not alone. According to a study by Kelley Blue Book, nearly a quarter of Americans (24%) expressed interest in doing a kitchen remodel. Here are some kitchen design ideas to give you some inspiration for your kitchen remodeling project.

1. Add Texture

A kitchen without texture can come off as cold and unwelcoming. When thinking about your kitchen design, consider how much texture you want to have in your kitchen. A simple way to add some texture would be by using wood. You can include exposed wood or wooden built-in cabinets to warm up your kitchen.

2. Mix Colors

When choosing colors for your kitchen, many Ann Arbor homeowners think they need to settle on just one. This is not the case. Two-tone kitchens have grown tremendously in popularity in recent years and it's no wonder why. A two-tone kitchen uses contrasting colors to break up the space and prevent any one feature from overpowering the others. The best way to accomplish this design is to choose a darker color and a lighter color that amplify each other.

3. Add Lighting to Cabinets

Cabinets can add more to your kitchen than just storage space. Consider adding wall-hung cabinets to your kitchen with glass inserts and internal lighting. If you add open-face cabinets with glass inserts and internal lighting, you'll get to enjoy both a piece of artwork in your kitchen design as well as ample storage space.

4. Use a Symmetrical Design

Creating a symmetrical design is one of the best ways to ensure you get a kitchen remodel you'll love. Use either the sink or the kitchen island as a focal point and update everything else around it. For example, if you're planning to have a wine color on one side of the island, then add one on the other side as well.
