Add Hidden Storage

Add Hidden Storage

Every kitchen could use more storage. This cleverly concealed drawer, designed by Dave Stimmel, provides the perfect place to keep cooking necessities within easy reach of the stove. Built-in storage like this can be a costly addition. To keep costs down, check your local hardware store for pull-out storage kits and drawer organizers that will fit your existing cabinets.

Painting your existing cabinets DIY

Painting cabinets

Painting your existing cabinets is an inexpensive update that even a newbie DIYer can handle. Some sandpaper, paintbrushes and a few gallons of primer and paint are all you need to give your kitchen a fresh, new look. Kitchen design by Beth Haley.

Add an island

An island provides additional cabinets, a handy location for a sink or stove and the perfect spot for a casual meal or keeping an eye on the kids while they finish up homework. This cottage-style kitchen, designed by Thomas Conway, beautifully combines vintage-style details with a modern, open-concept layout.

Replace Flooring

New flooring can change the feel of your kitchen. Hardwoods lend a warm, traditional look while natural stone, such as marble or travertine, adds a polished vibe. This kitchen, designed by Kristin Barker, mixes the two for a modern finish.

Upgrade Appliances

Appliances are more than just your kitchen’s workhorse, they also add to the overall look. Professional-grade stainless steel continues to be the most desirable. Also hot are retro-look appliances from the ’20s – ’50s. Design by Erinn Valencich. via: http://www.hgtv.com

A small & Bright Country Kitchen Renovation

A small & Bright Country Kitchen Renovation

Once cramped and inefficient, this kitchen today beams with cottage appeal thanks to a thoughtful collaboration between homeowner and architect. New windows capture plenty of natural light while enhancing the home’s classic style. The original archway still frames the now-inviting breakfast nook, which also gained a radiator and built-in storage bench.

Built-in Look Refrigerator

Must-Have Feature: “Built-in Look” Refrigerator. Install cabinetry around your refrigerator to get a built-in look minus the added expense.

Opening up this area allows the addition of a storage-filled peninsula. Topped with a butcher block, the peninsula is a handy spot for prepping. It also serves as a gathering place when having company over. A plate rack gives easy access to dishes and mugs that were out of immediate reach before. A pendant light directly overhead provides the necessary task lighting.

Must-Have Feature: Pendant Lights. Set at three different heights, the period-appropriate light fixtures from Holophane suit different tasks in the now-efficient kitchen.

The new layout has a streamlined look. Moving the stove to the other side of the long wall creates a continuous run of counter space — terrific for a family who entertains as well as cooks. “I often use the counter as a buffet,” admits Bowen. Ordinary subway tiles become extraordinary when arranged in a herringbone pattern for the backsplash. APPLIANCES: KITCHENAID. SINK AND FAUCETS: BLANCO STAINLESS.

One-wall kitchen Designs

The one-wall kitchen design is perfect for long and narrow kitchens. It’s simple and, as far as kitchen remodels go, fairly inexpensive. While it does not utilize the classic kitchen triangle, its linear design still allows for unimpeded traffic flow. Counter space is at a premium. The one-wall kitchen design is not the best design, though.

However, if you want your kitchen to be warm and comfortable, like a country kitchen, you may want to stick with wooden countertops and a nice wrought iron baker’s rack, along with a sturdy dark wood kitchen table. You can use stainless steel, wrought iron, and wood to varying degrees, which help you figure out which type of cabinets to use for the various things that you need to have in your kitchen.

Kitchen storage is an important factor to consider when purchasing cabinets for your kitchen. There are several types of storage solutions available, that are excellent for your kitchen. You can choose from a variety of portable storage carts or cabinets that sit on the ground with several shelves for storage. These types of cabinets help keep your kitchen under control because everything that you need is available exactly where you last placed it. This also helps reduce your stress in the kitchen because it is well organized. Rolling carts can be found in a variety of styles. These include bamboo, wicker, and wood. The wooden storage solution is an excellent addition to your kitchen if you are looking to store heavy items, but if you only have breads and other light items, a bamboo or wicker cabinet is probably your best choice.
