Last update: 20 December, 2018

Are you bored of your kitchen? If the answer is yes, we have some great ideas to help you find inspiration and remodel your kitchen in some original ways! As you’ll see below, you have to start by thinking what you use it for. After that, you can start thinking of more specific details and ideas. 

Ideas on how to remodel your kitchen

Firstly, what are you going to use it for?

Start by asking yourself what you’re going to use it for: 

  • If you’re just going to cook and generally have your meals in another room, you should focus on cabinet space and not put in a huge table. A small, square table with two stools should be enough.
  • Or, if your family usually eats in the kitchen, you can put in a table for at least four people. Leave some space around it so that you can cook and sit comfortably. For storage, you can put some cabinets above the counterThis will give you the space you need for your kitchen items without getting in the way of the table.

Put in an island

Islands help you make the most of kitchen space. All you have to remember is how big your kitchen  is because an island won’t work well in a small kitchen.

Kitchen islands have a lot of functions. You can use yours as both a countertop and table or put in appliances like a stove or sink. If you have a lot of space, you can even make it a combined kitchen. One part will be more straight lines where you have your cooking area, and the other part will be more rounded.

Doing this also gives your kitchen a much more modern, remodeled look.

A chalkboard, perfect for your shopping list

Putting in a chalkboard is a great way to give your kitchen a fun, original, touch. Leave part of the wall unfinished and put in a floor-to-ceiling chalkboard. You can also put a little container for the chalk and eraser right beside it.

Just think of all the things you can use it for! Plus, it will make your kitchen look new every time you wipe it and write something. You could make your shopping list on it, or just let your little ones use it as an artboard. You can also write down inspirational quotes that get you started on a positive note the moment you walk in.

Various kinds of storage spaces

If you want to remodel your kitchen, there are lots of storage space ideas out there. You need to have enough room for all your food, silverware, and everything else a kitchen needs. Depending on the structure in yours, you can try some of these things:

  • Overhead cabinets: these go above countertops and are very practical. They take up very little space and can hold a lot. We suggest you install several.
  • Corner cabinets: corners often go unused in kitchens. But they’re a great place to put in a short, expandable cabinet. Everything will be right there within your reach (unlike the tallest shelves of overhead cabinets).
  • A cabinet under the island. Like we said above, islands are great for a kitchen. If you don’t use yours as a table you can install some cabinets under it. Island cabinets are huge, making them a great place to store kitchen items.
  • A pantryThis is the perfect place to put preserves and other foods that don’t need to be refrigerated. You can also put things like potatoes, onions, and garlic in it.
