Color Schemes

One great resource for ideas is the websites of HGTV and many popular home and garden television channels. In their online videos, it’s easy to see how many different colors can be used to make a kitchen look more exciting- from red on walls to color combinations on the floor. This will help you start to see combinations that you may want to use in your remodel. Many people are afraid to use color in their kitchen, but they can find the help they need through the use of a color wheel. With this tool, kitchen owners can choose colors that will add visual interest and help make a small space seem bigger.

Floor Treatments

The type of flooring you choose for your kitchen remodel is just as important as the colors you choose. For durability, many people are turning towards bamboo, mesquite or concrete tiles. But to get an even more unique look, consider a longer plank flooring. It comes in a variety of woods, and can even be customized by the use of hand scraping to give it an aged look. Laminates can be a good choice for the kitchen, for their ease of installation and cleaning, with a variety of colors and designs available to fit any décor.

Window Treatments

Adding windows to your kitchen is key, not only to make it seem larger and bring in light, but also to add some personality. Instead of traditional curtains or drapes, consider using decorations such as Venetian blinds, lattice shutters, or café curtains. These will still provide privacy but won’t take away from the décor of the room.

Decorating Touches

The finishing touch for your kitchen remodel should be to add decorations that will compliment the room. If you have breakfast nook, consider adding a few contrasting throw pillows, to draw the eye upwards and focus on the countertops and appliances. You could also add some unique artwork to the wall and hang a few plants from the ceiling, to give it a unique look that will make your kitchen inviting.

Remodeling your kitchen can be a daunting task, but with the right resources it can be a fun and rewarding experience. With an array of helpful websites, videos, and resources at your disposal, you are sure to find ways to make your kitchen remodel successful, safe and beautiful.
