Kitchen Makeover Ideas and Storage Solutions

Light Colors Make a Room Seem Larger

A light kitchen can make a space feel larger.

White allows natural light to bounce around and a sunny room is a welcoming room. Using white or cream along with an accent color, such as a rich wood or light purple, can work wonders to create a welcoming focal point.

How Do You Use the Space?

Understanding how your family uses the kitchen and dining room can help you create a space that is better for everyone.

This beautiful kitchen has storage and a dining space for the pets of the house. Remember to think about all the members of the family!

Bright Pops of Color

This small kitchen uses rich wood and bright yellow to give the off-white room a touch of glamour.

A pop of color can update any space!

Stated Simplicity

A kitchen doesn’t have to have lots of space to be functional as long as it is organized well.

This kitchen is compact but highly functional with the right design. The pop of red is perfect for a kitchen – red is known to increase appetite and is used extensively in restaurants.

Small Space, Big Kitchen Makeover

This kitchen is perfect for a single wide or double wide!

Lots of great storage and a smart layout creates a modern, functional space. The stovetop and dining table combination is a great way to make a small space work double time for you.

The Perfect Modern Kitchen Makeover 

This kitchen is the epitome of modern design.

Subway tile, white cabinets, and stainless steel is all the rage in the modern kitchen design and for good reason – it’s a smart combination of functionality.

Really Red Kitchen Makeover

Painting your cabinets can completely change the entire look of your kitchen.

Painting your cabinets an unusual color, like bright red, creates a space that won’t easily be forgotten.

Dark, Deep, and Delicious Kitchen Makeover

Combining darker colors with lighter hues creates a rich space.

This kitchen began with a basic design, cream cabinets with a dark countertop, but painting the smaller corner wall a deep charcoal grey gave it a whole new dimension.

Don’t be scared to try new things!

Green with Envy

Here’s another great kitchen that uses color perfectly.

Notice the cabinets are a bright green but the island remains a neutral white – this is a great way to separate the space. Open floor plans are popular and convenient but it’s hard to give each area its own look. Using an island adds function but also allows the space to be divided.

Sage Green Advice for your Kitchen Makeover

This kitchen is a great example of pulling several different materials together to create a rich, visually appealing space. The beautiful tiled backsplash pulls the space together wonderfully and sets the stage for the entire room to shine.

Playful Kitchen Makeover

This is a great kitchen makeover inspiration for anyone that loves color!
