2021 Kitchen Remodel Ideas
The modern kitchen is no longer a place just to cook food, but a place where people gather to eat, hang out, and more.
Tips and Techniques for Creating Your Dream Culinary Space
The modern kitchen is no longer a place just to cook food. In just the past 10 years, as open concept living has become more and more popular, today’s kitchen is also where people gather to eat, do business, homework, or even just hang out.
Think Open Floor Plans and Guest Participation
Kitchens used to be a separate room entirely, closed off from any guest’s potential visibility. Now, many floor plans have the kitchen as an easily accessible adjunct of the living room or den, without even a wall separating the two rooms. Your guests relax while you’re preparing hors d'oeuvres or drinks - all while keeping the conversation going. As such, when it comes to a modern kitchen remodel, consider large refrigerators, multiple sinks, and expansive countertop space that allows for guest participation.
Organization is Key
What will you primarily be using your kitchen for? Are you a butcher? A baker? A candlestick maker? However you plan to use your new space, think about the utensils and tools you’ll need at your fingertips. Does the paper-towel holder live in the corner, or handily mount to the cabinets closer to the stove for when messes happen? You know how you cook and what your needs are better than anyone. Do a run-through of cooking for your favorite dish and see what you reach for that isn’t there. This is your opportunity to turn your kitchen into a command center Martha Stewart would even be jealous of.
Balanced Interior Design
A kitchen remodel takes a lot of time and work. After all that, you’d hate to be bored of it again six months later. Because of this, neutral color palettes, accented with splashes of color in your backsplash, accessories, and art decor are your friend. That way, you have the ability to update your look with the latest style trends without a total remodel again.
Clean and Modern Can Still Be Warm and Welcoming
To achieve the unassuming, yet well put together kitchen that is as much for cooking as it is hanging out, consider pairing white hues with simple greens, reds, and hints of other earth-tones. Minimalist line art juxtaposes large shapes and organic imagery like people and flowers. This all combines for a clean modern aesthetic, that is still relaxing.
