Incredible Kitchen Remodeling Ideas
Updated: Jun. 25, 2019What’s old is new for many of these kitchens, as historical details were preserved and highlighted during the remodels. Flip through the stunning photos to find out details about each project and to learn some tips for your own kitchen remodel.
Let Light In
The existing kitchen was stuck in the dark center of this house on a narrow urban lot. The remodel incorporated a turret to allow light and air to flood the room. The kitchen was no longer a utility space for cooking and serving but was now, literally and figuratively, the center of the home and family life. Project by Home Front Build.
Historical Updates
New cabinets, countertops, backsplash and appliances were all added, taking care with the details in order to maintain period charm in this thoroughly modern kitchen. Project by Home Front Build.
Art Deco Backsplash
Show-Stopping Stove
This new kitchen was remodeled around a restored gas range, so period details were a must. Project by Home Front Build.
Highlighting History
Revival tile backsplash with Chiclet liner, upper cabinets that integrated into a cove ceiling and a plaster arch that referenced an original detail all assisted in maintaining the period charm that the owners were drawn to in the original house. Project by Home Front Build.
Kitchen Upgrades: Wood Countertops
Higher Ceiling
The remodel of a 1930’s Los Angeles home removed walls to create a newly vaulted kitchen/family room detailed with wood beams. Project by Home Front Build.
Warm Wood
A new working island designed to imitate farmhouse furniture is the centerpiece of the new kitchen. Project by Home Front Build.
Kitchen Cabinet Remodel Ideas: Two-Toned Cabinets
Can't decide on just one color among your kitchen remodeling ideas? Two-toned cabinets might be the answer. To do a two-toned look with one color on the top cabinets and a different color on the bottom, be sure to put the darker color on bottom to anchor it. Color is as varied and unique as you are, so have fun picking the color combination perfect for you.
Historical Craftsman
The focus of the remodel of this 1905 Los Angeles Craftsman home was a reorganization of the kitchen. The kitchen was moved and the new location, off the entry, is easily accessible by an arched opening. Project by Home Front Build.
Period Details
Windows and French doors were added to a new rear patio creating a light filled through line from the entry to the kitchen and rear yard. New cabinets and finishes were done in period style as the kitchen was now visible from the entry and no longer a utility space for cooking only. Project by Home Front Build.
Update: Modern Countertops
Functional Small Space
The existing house was a single-story, 1,500-sq.-ft., two-bedroom, one-bath home. It was quaint, but too tight for a growing young family with two kids. The newly remodeled kitchen features a low peninsula countertop, which allows family and friends to sit and be a part of activity in the kitchen while still staying out from underfoot. Project by Home Front Build.
Modern Amenities with Historical Style
The cabinet style echoes the period while incorporating the functionality of soft-close glides and hardware. Project by Home Front Build.
Perfect Farmhouse Kitchen
Open Kitchen Flow
An arch to the breakfast room was added to allow family and friends to flow more easily between the public rooms, exterior and newly remodeled kitchen of this 1920’s Hancock Park home. Project by Home Front Build.
Modern Finishes
Vibrant blue cabinets combined with raw brass accents and Moroccan tile to create a new focal point for family life. Project by Home Front Build.
