Trendy Kitchen Remodeling Ideas

August 31, 2010 By: Amanda Kirby Category: Kitchen Remodeling

The design of a kitchen can outdate any house. Do you have wild wallpaper or a yellowing backsplash. If you want the favorite room of your home to express your good taste, here are a few ideas to take your kitchen from old style to modern chic.

Creating Elegant Walls

Removing wallpaper for a solid paint color can dress any kitchen up. A good clay toned flat latex paint will add a modern warmth to your wall that any chef will envy. Use a bright white paint to outline any molding in the room. This adds a more modern feel to the room.

Fabulous Tile

Glass mosaic tiles are a popular choice to buy. You can install it yourself or have a contractor do it. Let the person installing the tile know that it is glass. Contractors might think that the tile is no different from ceramic tile. Glass tile requires a specific cutting and trimming tool. Make sure the glass won’t be scratched by purchasing a grouting tool with no teeth. Before purchasing the product research it with your supplier. Do not forget that not all items are placed on the store floor. They are priced at approximately ten dollars per square foot. If you want a special color you can place a special order, but be prepared to pay about three times as much for the product.

Hot Floors

Floors can make or break a room. Hardwood floors are often extended into the kitchen area. Hardwood floors are nice for small areas. Rather than breaking up the room into smaller sections with different flooring for the living areas and kitchen, one single flooring option lets the eye travel in a continuous flow throughout the entire area. The most popular choice today is dark hardwood floors. For homes in hotter areas poured concrete and tile are choice.

Elegant and Modern Lighting.

Dressing up a kitchen can be made easy with new lighting. Mood lighting went out with the eighties when everyone was going for the Victorian look. Decorating today is all about creating an environment that includes the elements of light and air. It’s a natural response to green living. It is easy to find affordable lighting to brighten up your kitchen while keeping the environment in mind.
