The kitchen is a hub for the household. It’s also one of the most expensive places to renovate in your house. That said, it doesn’t have to be! If you’re looking to renovate your kitchen but don’t know where to start, follow these trends to make sure you are getting the most bang for your buck.
Open Concept Kitchens
The kitchen is the heart of the home, and it’s no wonder that this room has been at the forefront of kitchen remodeling trends for decades. You might think that since kitchens have been around for so long, there wouldn’t be anything new or exciting about them anymore–but you’d be wrong! Kitchens are still evolving as we learn more about how people live and what they need in their daily lives.
Kitchen designers are always looking for ways to make cooking more accessible and enjoyable, by creating spacious layouts with tons of storage space. Open concept kitchens allow you to spend less time searching through drawers while trying to find utensils or pots & pans instead of actually cooking food (which is kind of important). Another popular trend involves adding skylights above your stovetop so you can see what you’re doing even when it’s dark outside!
Clearer separation between zones
The kitchen is no longer considered a place where people just cook, eat and wash up. It’s also a social hub that connects the rest of your home. To make this happen, you need to separate your kitchen into zones:
● Cooking zone
● Dining zone
● Living zone (the space where you relax)
Add a small pantry for convenience
A small pantry is a great idea for any kitchen, but it’s especially ideal for those with limited space. A small pantry can be built into the wall or stand alone in a hallway. It can be on the left side of your kitchen or right–it doesn’t matter! Just make sure that you have enough room to store all of your favorite items without feeling overwhelmed by clutter.
Bigger islands for extra seating
A larger island can be used for extra seating, storage and cooking space. If you’re looking to create a more open kitchen and dining room, this is a great way to do it.
Expanded eating areas
You want to create a space that’s conducive to eating and socializing. A breakfast bar is a great way to do this, as it adds an additional surface in the kitchen where you can sit down with your family or friends while eating breakfast or having coffee each morning. If you have limited space in your kitchen, consider getting rid of one of your cabinets and replacing it with a large table (or two smaller ones) that can accommodate everyone who eats at home regularly.
You might also want to consider adding more seating options around your dining table–maybe some benches instead of chairs? This will allow everyone at the table more room for their legs and make them feel more comfortable when sitting down together for meals!
Picking the right cabinet style
More people are going with traditional cabinetry styles instead of modern ones because they’re easier to clean, lower maintenance and last longer than trendy designs (which often look dated after just one year). Plus, they’re easier on your wallet since they don’t require many custom details like special hardware or moldings like some other types do!
If you’re planning to renovate your kitchen, these trends will help you make the most of your investment. They will also ensure that your kitchen remains relevant for years to come.
