Planning a kitchen remodel, but still not sure on where to start? Choosing the right design can be difficult, especially when there are so many options available. Every great kitchen starts with some basic elements that are simple and effective. If you’re still not sure how to plan out your remodel, we’ve put together some quick tips for a beautiful and livable kitchen.

White

Neutral tones are ideal for creating modern renovations with long-lasting appeal. Bring a bright and clean look to your space by incorporating white as a dominant element in your design. White is a classic colour that can make even smaller rooms appear much larger and more inviting. Shake off the stigma that white is boring – one of the best parts about it is that it goes with everything! Don’t let it limit your creativity, instead use it as a uniting element that brings your room together around a central component.

Hardwood

Not only is hardwood easy on your feet, but it’s easy on the eyes as well! As one of the most visually appealing flooring options, it’s difficult to go wrong with hardwood. It has been a popular look throughout modern history and will definitely continue to be, making it a resilient design choice.

Functionality

When designing a new kitchen, aesthetics shouldn’t be your only consideration. Think about how you can design a space that is as functional as it is beautiful. Walkways in your kitchen should be at least 36 inches wide with at least 42 inch wide cooking zones. In a kitchen designed for two cooks, these cooking zones should be expanded to a width of at least 48 inches.

Storage

Create smart storage spaces that can be adapted to multiple uses in the future. Large cabinet spaces that allow for you to store all of your most-used items in one spot are also great for minimizing prep time and maximizing maneuverability in your kitchen. Pull out shelves instead of deep cabinets can be much easier on your back and make it possible to see your entire storage space at once.
