6 Kitchen Remodeling Tips to Make It Look Modern

Kitchen Remodeling Jun 21

Many homeowners are following the trend of remodeling their kitchen to make it look modern. Although there are still some homeowners who choose to keep their kitchen look classic, a lot are going for kitchen remodeling in Royal Oak to add a contemporary touch. Moreover, with the abundance of futuristic home appliances, a modern kitchen is appropriate.To transform your space into a modern kitchen, here are some tips to keep in mind.

  1. Keep the design simple

  2. To add a dash of modern look in your kitchen, it is important to keep the design simple. Putting a lot of elements in the kitchen can be overwhelming, and it is a thing of the past, which is why modern kitchens have multifunctional kitchen islands. Moreover, since most kitchens nowadays have limited space, keeping the design simple is the only way to go. It is important to optimize the kitchen space. However, you shouldn’t turn it into a cramped space.

  3. Use bright colors sparingly

  4. A modern kitchen often comes with bright white walls. However, bright colors are starting to make a comeback. If you plan to use bright colors, use them sparingly so you don’t overwhelm the space. Although bright colors might work, it is still essential to stick with a single-color palette. This way, the area can still look neat while adding a dash of personality.

  5. Use metals

  6. If you want to remodel your kitchen into an urban contemporary space, then you should focus on using materials that are found in the urban setting. These include a combination of metals for faucets, the sink, cabinet pullouts, and the refrigerator. This provides a traditional warmth in the space but has a modern look.

  7. Add some glass

  8. Putting some glass, and not just the glass used for drinking, can transform your kitchen into a modern space. The use of glass adds a sleek appearance in your kitchen. For instance, you can choose to have a glass door for your fridge. Not only does this add a modern touch, it also allows you to see easily what is inside the refrigerator. Another way to integrate glass is the use of large windows in your kitchen.

  9. Take advantage of softer lines

  10. The use of softer lines in the kitchen makes for a streamlined design. Therefore, they add a dash of contemporary style in the kitchen. Softer lines work best on the kitchen island, so make sure to put a lot of them there.

  11. Employ bold colors

  12. For a modern look, have fixtures that have bold colors. Doing so will move away from the traditional kitchen appearance. You can use bold colors on the floor and choose patterns or tiles that have them.

Reviews

From start to finish Kurtis was a great company to work with. From the initial contact and design concept with Gregory Holster to the cabinet drop off team, the install team led by project manager Jeff Tuomi and the countertop company, the project was on time and all work was performed beyond expectations. This was greatly appreciated seeing as it was completed on December 23. All the people involved were professional and did an excellent job.

Shanna was our project consultant. Picking out cabinets along with counters can be somewhat overwhelming but her knowledge & experience helped us make the right decisions. Dylan & Juwan unloaded truck & Dylan check off ship ticket to make sure all boxes were accounted for. Courteous & pleasant to talk to…nice job of stacking everything neatly in our garage. We couldn't be more pleased with the service & so happy with our kitchen

We recently worked with Lauren on cabinetry for a master bathroom renovation. She was great to work on the design and selections. Lauren was efficient and responsive from cabinet selection through ordering. Our overall installation was smooth. We had some unforeseen circumstances impacting our ability to accept delivery of our cabinets on the initial agreed upon date. Kurtis was very accommodating in rescheduling delivery given our project challenges. We couldn't be happier with our cabinets for this project.

We had complete renovations to our kitchen and main bathroom. From start to finish, the design with Shanna was exactly what we asked for and Jeff stayed on top of the renovations, communicating each step of the way. Every worker was professional and the final product is elegant and functional. We were very happy with Kurtis and would choose Shanna and Jeff again.

We love our new kitchen! Kurtis Kitchen & Bath did an outstanding job, and Adrian at the Clarkston location was exceptional to work with—creative, patient, and really listened to what we wanted. The project was well-organized, and we went from demo to a fully functioning kitchen in just 30 days. Highly recommend!
