Remodeling your kitchen is a great way to improve functionality and add visual appeal to your space. However, it is not uncommon for many homeowners tackling this project to find themselves having a difficult time deciding on styles, themes, layouts, and concepts. If you don’t know where to start in your kitchen renovation plans, you can always turn to these sources of inspiration for some ideas.
Home Remodeling Magazines
Before the advent of the internet, print publications were among the most common sources for gathering renovation ideas. Although most magazines nowadays can be found online, many homeowners still prefer looking for remodeling inspiration through a physical copy. Many insightful magazines can help you prepare for your kitchen project, providing tips and tricks in the form of before-and-after photos, how-tos, and articles.
One of the most notable examples of home remodeling magazines you should look into is Family Handyman. Family Handyman started as a magazine in the early 1950s, but it has an active online presence these days. If you prefer reading a magazine to going online, you can rest knowing that Family Handyman is still in print. Meanwhile, non-subscribers can turn to the website for helpful tips for their kitchen project.
Remodeling TV Shows
Home remodeling television shows are not only entertaining to watch but also offer plenty of helpful ideas and popular design trends to inspire you for your kitchen remodel. These shows have been around for over a decade or so and continue to bring in a massive viewership. Apart from home repairs and renovations, they also showcase work on real homes, performing complex home improvements and educating viewers at home.
This Old House (TOH) is one of the most recognized home improvement shows. In fact, they have been in the remodeling industry for over 40 years. They not only show you the progress of the remodel but also give you more information about it, down the minute details. If you’re thinking of remodeling your kitchen, it’s always a good idea to check out TOH’s “Idea Houses” to find inspiration and tips.
Other People’s Homes
To get an idea for your own kitchen project, you may consider visiting the recently renovated homes of your friends, relatives, and neighbors. This can give you a first-person look at a specific feature, how it works, and who to hire for the job. You can also ask for detailed advice and tips to get the same results. Perhaps you are looking for ways to transform your mahogany cabinets or marble countertops.
At the same time, going over other people’s kitchen projects can also help in avoiding common remodeling mistakes. They can give you accounts of remodeling mistakes they made or share details to help you achieve a better result.
