It has been said that the kitchen is the heart of the home. It’s where the family gathers each day and where some of the most important conversations take place. So it’s no wonder that some of the most popular kitchen remodel ideas reflect this and try to make the most-used room of the house more warm and welcoming.
Open Kitchen
Open floor plans are in high demand when it comes to kitchen remodeling. Most everyone wants a kitchen that opens up to the living and dining rooms to create a great room. This can often be done simply by removing a full wall and replacing it with a pony wall and a breakfast bar. If the wall is load bearing, you can still open up the kitchen by adding a pass-through window.
Furniture-Like Cabinets
One of the hottest kitchen remodel ideas and trends is replacing boring, boxy cabinetry with cabinets that resemble furniture. Center islands mimic the look of a table and cabinets take on a whole new dimension with furniture-like features such as:
- Knobs with decorative backplates
- Ballasts
- Claw or ball feet
Cabinetry with a dark finish makes it look more like furniture as well, and integrates an open kitchen with the adjoining rooms. Another trend is mixing wood finishes to highlight a certain aspect of the kitchen and make it appear like furniture. For instance, a center island with a dark wood finish may be installed in a kitchen with off-white glazed cabinets.
Hidden Appliances
Past design trends flaunted commercial-grade stainless steel appliances in the kitchen. Now, however, kitchen remodel ideas have appliances hidden behind wood panels or faux veneers that blend seamlessly with the cabinetry. This integrates the kitchen with the rest of the house, making it feel like one unified living space.
