Kitchen renovations are the hottest thing these days when it comes to general home remodels and construction. The kitchen is the most important room in the home to renovate, since it says a lot about the home owner. As one of the most customizable rooms in anyone’s personal abode, you’re given much more creative freedom that you would be with others.

1. Change the color palette

Paying attention to the color decisions you make can really make your kitchen pop without having to spend tons of money on other things such as appliances. For example, using gray instead of white would help because gray is much more pleasing to the eye. Gray also tends not to show dirt and grime as much (although it’s still highly that you clean your kitchen regularly). Consider mixing different colors to complement each other, such as black and white or gray and brown. Sometimes even classic palettes like black and white can make your kitchen look great.

 

 

2. Make your kitchen sink stand out

As weird as this may sound, changing the color of your sink can have great benefits if you do it right. Still going off of color, choosing to go against the traditional white or stainless steel look of your sink is becoming a fairly new trend. It also helps make your kitchen look brighter and more lively overall.

 

3. Mix materials

Sometimes a clash is a good thing when you’re considering what materials you want your kitchen to be made of. When picking what kinds of materials you want, it’s also important to consider the color these materials generally come in. Take wood. If you have a wooden countertop, you’d perhaps consider using a gray color for cabinets, as those colors work very well together. Now when you consider two different materials, there are a few really god options to consider. Nowadays wood is becoming a very nice look for a countertop. Marble is a good compliment for a wood countertop, for example. Considering a mix of materials to give your kitchen that flair can be a great addition.

4. Maximizing storage space

Storage space is an important aspect of one’s kitchen, and being able to control the amount you have through smart construction and innovation is important. You can have cabinets and drawers customized for this, or you can find your own ways to save on space. Take Tupperware products, for example, which are a very popular option for storage.

5. Imitation

Imitating a certain look or material can save you a lot of money on a kitchen renovation. Say you wanted a new countertop and like the look of granite, but you’re working with a smaller budget. There are look-alike options such as laminate which create the look of a granite countertop without the overall expensive price. No one has to know but you, and your kitchen will still look amazing!

These are only a few of the trends out there today. There are so many more options you’ll want to consider when making a fashionable decision for your kitchen renovation, but we hope we were able to give you some insight as to where the general attention is on today’s remodels.
