A Home Designer’s Guide to Creating A Custom Kitchen

In the realm of home design, the kitchen stands as a hub of both functionality and aesthetics. When looking to make upgrades, a custom kitchen is the perfect place to start! With a few simple swaps, you can take your current kitchen from “meh” to “wow” without a full remodel!

Sky’s the Limit

Let’s kick things off by reaching for the stars – or at least the ceiling. Bringing your cabinets all the way up not only adds extra storage (hooray for more space!) but also gives your dream kitchen a grand and spacious vibe. Bonus: no more awkward dust zones up there.

Island Innovation for Your Custom Kitchen

Built-in storage within the kitchen island is a game-changer. Obviously, the functional aspect is a huge benefit, but it also expands the size, creating the illusion of more space. This upgrade transforms the island from a mere kitchen countertop to a central feature that provides an excellent storage solution- a true win/win!

Lights, Camera, Action

When it comes to any main living space, lighting makes all the difference! Whether you’re chopping veggies or Instagramming your latest creation, good lighting can turn the task from drab to fab. Stick some fancy fixtures above your central island, and watch the magic happen. Trust us, it’s a little change that makes a big difference. Bonus tip: if you have to choose just one kitchen project, this is the one we recommend most!

Custom Kitchen Backsplash

A good backsplash is the unsung hero of kitchen renovation. It’s the canvas where your kitchen personality shines, and thankfully there’s a wide variety to choose from. Whether you’re more of a neutral gal (the beige trend is trending for a reason) or a bold adventurer, the right backsplash adds flair and function. Plus, it’s a breeze to clean – say goodbye to spaghetti sauce splatters!

Glass Front Cabinets

Have you ever thought of showing off your kitchen treasures? Glass front cabinets are here to help. Tuck them away in those hard-to-reach upper spaces, and suddenly, you’ve got a display and storage combo that’s as practical as it is charming. It’s a fun kitchen upgrade that feels quite elevated. 

Personalize with Decor Delights

Now, onto the fun stuff of a kitchen remodel – decor! Sprinkle your kitchen with a touch of personality with these handpicked favorites:
