Ideas for your Kitchen Remodel

Is your home a little too "original"? As the decades pass, some looks can look cool, vintage or retro... and some can look simply "dated".  Before thinking about your alternatives for kitchen remodeling, which may ultimately include an addition, evaluate your budget as well as the size of your kitchen.  Advanced Builders & Contractors, your Los Angeles kitchen remodeling professionals, are pleased to assist you at every phase of the process and provide. Here are a few ideas to consider for your Kitchen remodel or renovation:


Open and Closed Shelving

An excellent method to give your kitchen fresh life is to replace upper cabinets with open shelving. Create variation by using some closed cabinetry as well, or full length cabinetry in certain areas. Bottom shelving is best kept with doors to keep all items safe from children and pets and to keep everything looking tidy.  Open shelving gives display alternatives and enlarges limited kitchen spaces. Utilize shelves to display big platters, lovely baskets and vases, herbs that have been potted, and more.


Windows: Go Big

Any kitchen must have adequate lighting because using hot pots and sharp utensils in the dark might be risky! If your kitchen doesn't already have enough lights, think about adding lights. Alternatively, go bigger by adding a sizable window. If possible, enlarge on one or more windows or remove a portion of a wall. Natural light works wonders for the home. Window placement above a working area or sink is preferable.


Upgraded Appliances

Investing in new appliances is another method to modernize your kitchen. Energy-efficient stainless steel models not only have a sleek appearance, but they also help reduce utility costs. For optimum results, look for alternatives that are ENERGY STAR certified.


Updated Hardware

There are several low-cost options for kitchen remodeling, such as changing the hardware. Kitchen flow is improved by new cabinet drawer knobs and handles, which also look amazing.


Update Your Backsplash

The appearance of your kitchen is also greatly improved by installing or updating your backsplash. There are many options to choose from, tile, ceramic, stone, glass... the backsplash in your Kitchen can complete or redefine the style and feeling of the room.
