4 Inspiring Kitchen Remodels

4 Inspiring Kitchen Remodels

Thanksgiving is over and Christmas is coming! If you’re like us, the holidays are one of your favorite times of the year, which means you’re already thinking about Thanksgiving next year and how to better host it in your home. If you’ve found yourself a little tight on space or wishing for an update or a better layout in your kitchen as you prepared your dinner this year, then maybe you should consider a kitchen remodel. You’ll freshen up your space, redo it for the ultimate layout and convenience for your family, and you’ll up your home value. Kitchen remodels have about an 80% investment return, meaning that whatever you pay for the remodel, you’ll get 80% of that back in a house sale! Not to mention the enjoyment from getting the kitchen YOU want.

To give you some motivation and ideas, here are four of our favorite kitchen remodels/builds that we’ve done that are beautiful, functional, and completely drool-worthy. 

1. Trendy Open Concept

This kitchen build with a beautiful and large island creates a welcoming environment to host a holiday (or any day) dinner. Add in the subway tile finishes, warm colors, brass fixtures and pop of color on the island cabinets, and it’s a beautiful place to host family and friends. A large stainless refrigerator has room to house any amount of food and desserts, a double oven creates baking and cooking for a crowd a breeze, and the built-in pullouts hold even the biggest and clunkiest of kitchen and bakeware. Ample counter room make festive spreads a dream, and the immense added storage the island brings makes tucking any counter clutter away speedy and easy, so you can be clean and party-ready in no time!

  2. Modern Open Floor Plan

What we especially love about this design are the skylights! They let in so much natural light that helps to create a beautiful and welcoming environment. This modern kitchen has the perfect flow for hosting gatherings at your home. The shape of the island smartly utilizes the space, and allows for ample counter space with plenty of room for many people to be in the kitchen preparing dinner with you (or just hanging out!). The double oven makes food prep a breeze, and the cool colors and beautiful dark cabinets add just the right touch for a festive holiday or any-day meal. Not to mention the amount of storage - you’ll never struggle to shove items into a cabinet again!

3. Farmhouse-feel Open Concept 

We love this kitchen because you get a wonderful open feel with classic white cupboards, subway tile, Quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances! The double oven is clearly a popular choice due to the ease it creates in preparing large meals. Lights under the cabinets add a cozy and bright ambiance that’s perfect for hosting. You can move easily around the kitchen with this layout! Multiple people can work in the kitchen or it can be an awesome hangout zone for all your guests. We love the kitchens that double as easy prep and a fun and spacious hangout area! Bonus: if you’re the only one cooking, never fear. The open floor plan leads into the adjacent family and dining area, so you can still be part of the conversation without feeling boxed into a kitchen by yourself!

4. Beautiful Classic Kitchen

Last, but not least, check out this kitchen remodel that opened up the house and upgraded the features. The counters, cupboards and finishes are classic for a reason: they’re beautiful, durable and appealing to a lot of people. The homeowners added a walk-in pantry for extra storage and a large island with extra cabinets. Islands are a go-to for creating a perfect open floor plan for hosting. They’re versatile - you can add seating to it or set up the meal buffet style on the island - they add cabinet space, and they define the kitchen area while still letting the kitchen be open to the rest of the house. We think that an island can be one of the key components in creating a beautiful space to host meals in your home! It can become the central hub of the house and the heartbeat of the kitchen.

Of course, there are endless ways you can design, upgrade and change up your kitchen to best fit your needs. If you liked any of these ideas, or have some of your own, we can help you bring them to life. All you need to do is know what you want your space to be used for - we can help guide you through the rest.
