Now that you’ve decided on a kitchen renovation, it’s time to take the next step: choosing a kitchen style or theme that you can incorporate into your new space. While you can always talk about this with your remodeler later on, it’s best to already have a clear idea of what you want your new kitchen to look like before then. Of course, kitchen design ideas won’t just pop into your head fully formed — you’ll need to find some inspiration first. And DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of The Woodlands, the premier remodeling company in the area, knows exactly where they are:
Your Friends’ Homes
If a friend has just renovated their kitchen, take a few hours off and visit them. This should give you the perfect opportunity to check first-hand how a particular design trend works or looks like. You can also ask your friends about their remodeling experience, noting any challenges they’ve encountered (that you’ll probably encounter, too) and getting the lowdown on the contractor who did all the work. When you finally have your first meeting with your choice of a remodeler, at least you already know some of the things to expect.
Home Remodeling Websites and Social Media Accounts
Style and aesthetics play an important role in a kitchen remodel, and the Internet is chock full of photos that make it easier for you to find inspiration. But it’s also oversaturated with home improvement blogs and websites of varying quality, so you might want to stick to the bigger, more trustworthy names. These include Houzz, This Old House, Architectural Digest, HGTV, and Better Homes & Gardens. Houzz, in particular, is probably the most recognized online name in home remodeling and interior design. It has an extensive database of high-resolution photos created by remodeling professionals, plus a social networking aspect that allows you to connect with these same remodeling pros and other homeowners. Don’t forget social media platforms, as well. Remodeling brands and interior designers notably have their own Instagram accounts, and you can just follow them if you want to receive updates.
Television Shows or Video Streaming Sites
When photos aren’t enough, there are shows on TV and on media streaming sites that allow you to see how a kitchen remodeling project is done. The information should come in handy once you’re deep into the remodeling process yourself. But one thing to remember when watching these shows is that they seem to make the work look easy. This might inspire homeowners to go down the DIY route, but it’s something you should avoid. A successful kitchen remodel requires the skills and expertise of a professional like DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of The Woodlands. Talk to us about your wants and needs — and show us any kitchen design photos that have inspired you — and we’ll create a detailed plan to turn them into reality.
