Sometimes, browsing kitchen makeovers is the easiest method to get the remodel going ahead. In the end, it is sometimes complicated to check out an active, cluttered existing space and reimagine that ‘before’ being an ‘after’.
So, we requested a lot of our favorite designers to supply remodeled kitchen before and afters to ensure that we’re able to demonstrate what is possible while using right mixture of kitchen ideas and advice.
1. A DARK CLUTTERED KITCHEN TRANSFORMS Right Into A Vibrant, MODERN SPACE
Before
The most typical difficulties with kitchens is insufficient light and insufficient storage. This kitchen had both, however with our prime ceiling and possibility of extra light, it clearly had potential but was anxiously looking for a remodel.
We requested Alan Barlis of recent You are able to based BarlisWedlick how he transformed this space right into a fresh, contemporary kitchen that bending its space for storage coupled with room to have an island:
‘We could open the trunk of the house to produce a large eat-in kitchen searching to the backyard. Because of its interiors, we divided your kitchen into zones that showcase various materials: four ceiling-height corner cupboards are constructed with white-colored oak, as the stove, refrigerator, and island are colored a blue-grey tone.
‘We also left cabinets floating on every side from the original mantel to reference free standing pieces present in other areas of the house.’
2. A Family Room Turns Into A FAMILY KITCHEN DINER
Before
Once the H&G’s Editor in Chief bought her home, your kitchen is at the basement, which overlooked the backyard. The ceiling from the existing kitchen was low and also the room would be a little dark, so she made the decision to transfer it towards the family room on the floor floor, that was a sizable, vibrant, open-plan space (proven above, when occupied by previous proprietors).
After
‘The pictures above and below were taken soon after we’d completed your kitchen makeover,’ states Lucy Searle. ‘We had only considered white-colored kitchen ideas. Now, though, the walls have since been redecorated again with earthy colors, the sunlight continues to be altered, there’s now a hotter-toned herringbone wood floor and there is a rug underneath the dining room table to create exactly what is a large room feel cozier. However, the bones stay the same.’
‘We did not even consider removing any original features, like the Edwardian hearth. Rather, we labored around them, hiding the refrigerator and freezer in the large free standing unit that doubles like a larder, and housing our china within an antique glass-fronted dresser.
‘There may not seem like there’s a lot of countertop space however it works best for we and us make use of the dining table for added prep. It will help we have a sizable walk-in kitchen over the hall, too. And, before anybody wonders, we do not have a oven hood – but we all do possess a quiet but effective fan within the room’s original vent, up high on your wall over the drain.’
3. AN OUTDATED AND BADLY-CONFIGURED SPACE Has Become LIGHT AND AIRY
Before
Searching for remodelling suggestions for small kitchens? Reworking an entire-floor layout may be the smartest choice.
‘This bottom floor gut remodel of the outdated stone colonial in Chestnut Hill reconfigured a number of convoluted spaces, surrounding a poorly placed back staircase, right into a modern and open, all white-colored kitchen,’ explains Mindy O’Connor, principal designer at Melinda Kelson O’Connor Design.
After
‘By relocating the basement stair, and eliminating the secondary back staircase, we could combine four disparate kitchen rooms into one large kitchen by having an adjacent mudroom entry. The whole space was transformed.
‘New cabinetry details were produced having a nod towards the historic character and older home windows, and older ones were carefully restored.
‘The homeowners favor a clear and crisp white-colored palette with gray floors and calm palette of grays, off-whites, and awesome blues. Your kitchen results in a historic wood paneled dining area, and also the transition was carefully integrated to become harmonious.’
4. An Ordinary KITCHEN IS Changed Into A BESPOKE SPACE
Before
The good thing about this kitchen is it proves its not necessary a sizable space to possess a stunning spot to prepare in, the entire space on the floor with this flat is 900 square ft, and also the kitchen was hidden on a single corner. It’s good sun light from the sash window but is at desperate necessity of modernizing.
After
Helen Parker, creative director at deVOL explains the way they transformed this small kitchen.
‘This kitchen is composed almost completely with this standard sized Shaker furniture and is a touch similar to our most legendary projects ever using its wealthy bespoke eco-friendly color and enormous expanses of bold marble and brass but exciting and new all in the own way.’
Helen expands on focusing on methods to manipulate kitchen remodel costs whilst getting a bespoke look:
‘It causes us to be so pleased to observe that you do not always need bespoke sized pieces to produce the general appearance of a bespoke kitchen. Sticking with standard sized cupboards can also be probably the most economical method to design, therefore if you’re trying to a particular or smaller sized budget, there’s no more sensible choice.
‘The layout is straightforward, L-formed and clean – ideal for this open-plan room in which the proprietors try everything from cooking and chores, to eating and consuming together in the dining room table and chilling around the squishy sofa, that is just from shot.
‘The apartment had through the roof ceilings so accumulating made total sense: one tall run with bags of storage, double stacked Miele ovens, a built-in fridge and freezer along with a large kitchen cupboard am practical and permitted all of those other room to feel uncluttered and simple going.’
5. A Kitchen Area, Dining Area As Well As An OLD CONSERVATORY COMBINE INTO A Wide Open-PLAN SPACE

This property had a classic conservatory and separate dining and the kitchen which were all dark and enclosed. The dog owner wanted a kitchen area makeover that led to an area that felt calm and welcoming, a communal place to enjoy and relax in like a family in the busyness of contemporary city existence.
After
The brief ended up being to create a wide open plan kitchen with lots of sun light along with a flow in the kitchen right through to the backyard. It makes sense a wonderful light and airy space that’s been achieved by mixing that old spaces together, including skylights, Crittall doorways right through to the backyard along with a mainly all-white-colored plan. There is a sky blue backsplash and open plan shelving each of which give a warmth and match superbly using the Dijon tumbled limestone floor that completes the transformation – your kitchen ceramic tile ideas as being a real focus of the vibrant space.
‘The customer visited our showroom wanting an operating tile with natural character, only one that will also complement the contemporary style they’d in your mind,’ states Isabel Fernandez, director at Quorn Stone.
