Kitchen and Dining Room

When considering your remodeling project, think about usable space and the nature of your family's lifestyle.

For instance, do you love to cook, but there are only 2 of you in the home? It may be smarter to open your kitchen up as shown in the photo above, giving you lots of counter space, but encroaching in what was your dining room. Get rid of the dining room table formality if you don't use it or don't need it, and utilize the space in a smarter way by putting in a bar and comfortable stools for every day use.

Dining Room Remodel

Small changes in your home can make a big impact in how the room feels and functions. If you have an open space with seating for 3 people or 10 people, these ideas may strike a chord with you:

Change the furniture to be ultra modern and create a chic space.

Add a chair rail for a contemporary feel that is still homey. More subdued colors can work with country charm or a shabby chic feel.

Utilize a partial wall for pizzazz.

Paint or wallpaper an accent wall for a striking feature that ties in metallic colors or a favorite piece of art without overburdening the room.

Utilize a wide open space for a breathable room with room to grow.

Make use of a small space with tall chairs for graceful elegance.
