When it comes to kitchen remodeling, there are many different styles to choose from. From farmhouse sinks and subway tile to traditional dark cabinets and modern designs, the options can be overwhelming. However, if you’re looking to give your kitchen a sleek, modern look, there are a few key changes you can make. Whether you want to go all out and create a completely modern kitchen or simply add a few modern features to your existing design, these tips can help.
Sleek Kitchen Cabinets
One of the most important elements of a modern kitchen is sleek, flat-fronted cabinets. This can be achieved with custom kitchen cabinets, but if you’re on a tight budget, you can also reface your existing cabinets. Light-colored wood and glass-front cabinets are popular choices for modern kitchen remodels. Avoid paned glass fronts, as they tend to give a cottage-style look. Simple or no hardware on the cabinets is also a great way to achieve a sleek and modern look.
A backsplash of Glass Tiles
Glass tiles can be made in the same shapes and sizes as ceramic tiles, but they offer a more modern look. They are more expensive than ceramic tiles but can give your kitchen a bigger and brighter look by reflecting more light.
Strong Counters
Granite used to be the most popular material for kitchen countertops, but now many people are exploring other options. Concrete countertops are a great choice as they come in a variety of colors and can be made to look like different materials, and it is usually cheaper than other materials. Stainless steel is another option for a modern kitchen look. Instead of a full stainless steel countertop, consider a thin stainless steel countertop. Chefs prefer this option as it is more durable and easy to clean.
Kitchen Island Made to Order
Leaving room in your budget for a custom kitchen island is a smart idea, not only because you’ll spend more time there, but also because it will increase the value of your home when you go to sell it. Another way to show off your new countertops is to make a custom kitchen island. Your island will tie together all of the modern parts of your kitchen like the hidden cabinet and drawer pulls.
