So you’ve decided to tackle kitchen renovation. The next step? Find the style or theme that will work best for the space. With so many choices to consider, it’s easy to become overwhelmed, especially if you don’t know where to begin. It would be wise, therefore, to turn to a handful of sources for some inspiration. DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Reno takes a look at some of them.
Magazines
Many home remodeling magazines today now come in digital format and can be downloaded online and saved on your computer or mobile device. Many people still prefer owning a hard copy of these publications. After all, they contain relevant content and information in the form of how-tos, tips, and, of course, images of finished kitchens and other living spaces. Better Homes & Gardens, This Old House, Family Handyman, and Extreme How-To are some prime examples of print magazines you may consider browsing for kitchen remodeling inspiration.
Websites and Social Media
Today, most people get their home remodel ideas online. A basic online search can lead you to a boatload of information, but be sure to stick to trustworthy industry names. Houzz and Angie’s List are excellent websites to check out, as they provide an in-depth look at the entire remodeling process and glamorous images of finished living spaces. Zillow and Trulia, despite being real estate sites, are also great sources of home remodeling ideas. Popular social media platforms are also worth considering as well. Instagram, for instance, features images posted by other users. Just create an account and browse through millions of photos using the relevant hashtag.
Other People’s Homes
Visiting the homes of your relatives and friends is one of the best ways to find inspiration for your remodel. You may view how specific components, features, and colors appear in real life. You can also seek advice from these people, including what mistakes to watch out for during a kitchen remodel.
Home Remodeling Shows
Sometimes, binge-watching home remodeling shows can give you everything you need to know about what goes into the projects being presented. Shows like This Old House and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, as well as short-form videos on YouTube, are undoubtedly great sources of inspiration. A word of caution, though — the way they’re presented might make it seem like the work is easy enough to be done on your own. That’s something you’ll want to avoid, however, and just let your chosen contractor handle the kitchen remodel from beginning to end.
