Renovating and upgrading your kitchen is one of the best investments that you can make in your house. As a homeowner, you need to pay close attention to the condition of your kitchen. The peeling paint from the walls, damage to the counters, and tiles becoming loose on the floor are all signals that you need to get started with maintenance work.

1. Give your cabinets a facelift

You may decide to do away with cabinets altogether. This is a creative and fun way to add another dimension to your kitchen. This is especially true if your kitchen-ware and hardware are designed in a specific style. You may even make use of floating shelves. This can be a beautiful statement for any glassware or ceramic kitchen essentials. If you have an open-plan kitchen, open shelving is a quirky addition to your home. It allows for space to open up your kitchen, displaying both your décor and allowing for storage.

2. Time for some new countertops

When you are done with your cabinets and shelving, it’s time to move on to the countertops.Your countertops may act as a partner-in-crime to the cabinets. Your countertops may be the perfect way to ground the color design of your cabinets or unify your open shelves. Although it isn’t new, marble countertops are increasing in popularity again as a modern style for kitchens. The natural colors of these countertops with additional swirls add a touch of elegance and visual interest in a subtle, modern way. Moreover, these countertops are also quite handy as they are easy to wipe up or even use as a chopping board. You may even opt for wooden countertops or a style that may fit the exact design of your kitchen. However, keep in mind the cornerstone for a modern kitchen is unity within a style. The more your colors and styles correlate, the more modern your kitchen appears.

3. Categorize Your Kitchen Items

Most people prefer to separate the food items from the cookware/dinnerware in their kitchen cabinets. So right away you can divide your items into these two groups. Then, subdivide the groups from there.. For instance, the edible items can be subdivided into drinks, baking ingredients, snacks, canned goods, and whatever other food you keep. The cookware/dinnerware can be subdivided into pots and pans, cooking utensils, cutting boards, plates and bowls, glasses and mugs, and more. The specifics are entirely up to you, but the endgame is to keep each subcategory together once you return everything to the cabinets.

An effective kitchen design depends on a well-planned layout, product selections that meet your ongoing household requirements, and a dash of individual style to give the space personality.  There are many decisions involved in a kitchen renovation, and a trusted design professional can guide you through this process to realize your ideal space.

5. Ideal Kitchen Locations

If you do have the flexibility to choose where your kitchen is located, there are a few areas that are especially supportive. Kitchens generally have a lot of fire energy because of the stove, so having the kitchen in suitable position can help to activate that fire and support you in being seen and recognized.
