InInovative Kitchen Designs To Spice Up Your Home

When looking for some new innovative kitchen designs, you should always first consider your budget. If your budget is a little smaller, then just changing the color of the walls will probably give you the amount of change you are looking for. Do not be afraid to play around with color, match the color of your walls to your personality.

If your kitchen design budget can handle a little more than just paint, then you may want to change out the lighting fixtures, better yet, add additional lighting in areas that you want to highlight in your kitchen. By adding lighting over the island or under the cabinetry, you can change the whole look of your kitchen. Another thing that allows you to spice up your kitchen is by changing out the hardware on your kitchen cabinets and drawers, or you can remove them all together. If you are replacing, make sure you measure before you go to the hardware store or you may come back with a new handle or drawer pull that is too small or too big to fit the openings that have already been drilled into your cabinetry.

If you are able to do a completely new kitchen design then you may want to have a professional contractor help you with the redesign of your kitchen. When it comes to putting together new cabinets, countertops, flooring, and appliances then it is best to have a professional guide you through the process. Spicing up your kitchen with cherry cabinets, new ceramic tile, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances is probably something that you would love to do. If you can add some newer features like copper and a unique shaped island, then it may set your new kitchen apart from the many kitchens that are being remodeled daily.

By remodeling your kitchen, you are able to make it more functional and improve the overall look at the same time. By adding cabinets that go all the way to the ceiling, it can improve your storage space and give your kitchen a look of being much bigger. If you want to make your kitchen more functional for big family meals, then installing double ovens and a bigger cook top may be the way to go. This is where a good kitchen designing contractor can help you; if you explain what you want out of your kitchen then they can make suggestions and help you design the kitchen of your dreams.

While doing a little or a lot can help to spice up your kitchen, you have to remember to stay within your budget and make sure that it works for you. Just because your contractor suggests that you put in a wine rack because all the new kitchens have it, does not mean you need to do it. If it will work for you and you are comfortable with the changes that are going to make your kitchen what you want it to be, then go for it. Always remember to get your home appraised and to ask if the changes you have in mind will add value to your home. Adding granite countertops and stainless appliances in some neighborhoods can be overkill and may not give you a good return on your investment. Check with an appraiser or real estate agent to see if the changes you have in mind are a wise choice. (shane hester)
