According to the USDA, at least 78% of American working adults reported spending more time eating home-prepared meals and less time eating out.

With more people working from home than ever before, homeowners are looking to home renovations. Having a safe and inviting space to live in can benefit you in more ways than you could imagine.

Kitchen renovations are on the top of the to-do list for many households. The kitchen is the hub of the home. It's a gathering point for loved ones to prepare meals and share stories from the day.

With so many kitchen remodeling ideas online, it's hard to know where to begin.

Let's make it easy. Here are ten fabulous ideas for your next kitchen remodeling project.

1. Upgrade Your Cabinets

Say goodbye to your outdated cabinets and make an instant statement with brand-new custom-designed ones. Cabinets, upper or lower, can add an aesthetic appeal to your entire space.

If you prefer a contemporary design, handle-free cabinetry can achieve a sleek modern look – a minimalist dream. Choose a paneled Georgian cabinet door in timeless white for the more traditional look.

2. Add a Kitchen Island

Kitchen islands are one of the most requested features in a kitchen remodel. A kitchen island offers a multi-functional space where you can prep, cook, and serve food. You can also add seating for friends and family to gather and create memories.

As a focal point of the room, the kitchen island offers endless avenues for design creativity. For example, many designs incorporate a beautiful granite countertop to contrast with a bold cabinet color.

3. Paint the Walls

Give your walls a new look with a fresh coat of paint. Mix and match the color of your wall to juxtapose your kitchen cabinets to make the ultimate visual statement.

Homeowners tend to gravitate towards a timeless all-white kitchen, but why not experiment?

Don't be afraid to bring in some color, even in a small kitchen. For example, chalky-blue cabinets against white walls give a calm coastal vibe that makes any space feel larger.

4. Add a New Backsplash

Backsplash design is a creative and artful way to inject color and character into your kitchen.

Try a dark-colored tiled herringbone splashback to add depth to a monochromatic kitchen. This will naturally draw the eye to the 'V' pattern and provide an optical illusion of a larger space.

For an all-white kitchen, go bold with a blue subway tile backsplash. Or add an element of whimsy with multi-colored zig-zag peel-and-stick wallpaper tiles.

5. Replace Lighting Fixtures

Breathe new life into your kitchen by replacing outdated lighting fixtures. Good lighting can make a space seem bigger, set the mood, and instantly draw people into your space.

Under-cabinet LED light bars are ideal for illuminating countertops and prep areas. At the same time, hanging pendant lights over the kitchen island adds style and helps to anchor the island.

In-cabinet lighting is a practical design option for dark or deep cabinetry. At the same time, in-cabinet lighting to glass-front cabinetry will create the ultimate cozy, romantic vibe.

6. Install Stainless Steel Appliances

Enhance the look and functionality of your kitchen with a few upgraded steel appliances. Stainless steel is durable, hygienic, and has tensile strength. And not to mention, they're easy to clean.

From a visual standpoint, stainless steel appliances are stylish and sleek. They add a modern feel to your kitchen design.

7. Swap Out the Sink

Homeowners are opting for large, single-basin sinks which work from both a practical and a design point.

Farmhouse sinks are a popular choice at the moment, with endless color possibilities. Although blue, black, grey, and white are standard colors. A marble sink offers a luxurious twist on the farmhouse style for a light and bright kitchen.

For a kitchen with moody hues, a black deep kitchen sink will give you a sleeker, more modern finish than white. Complete the look with brass faucets and an antique stone countertop.

8. Add a Breakfast Nook

Some homeowners would argue a breakfast nook is a little outdated, but it's the ultimate way to maximize unused space.

Add simple wood chairs and a table with a weathered, whitewashed finish for the cottage-style look. To complete the look, add plaid pillows and fresh flowers.

Your family to convene in the mornings, and later, your children can use it to finish their homework.

9. Upgrade Your Countertops

Are you tired of your old laminate countertops? If you can, avoid skimping on materials to save money. You need good-quality countertops that don't crack, chip or break under pressure.

Marble and granite countertops are a popular choice for homeowners but may not be the most durable.

Quartz countertops are your top-tier solution. They are extremely tough, making it impossible to house germs in the cracks.

A veiny, cobra black quartz countertop contrasts nicely with navy blue cabinetry. At the same time, quartz countertops with a soft grey finish will make a room feel light and airy, especially if you have light timber-colored cabinetry.

10. Redo Your Flooring

To complete your new kitchen, you might want to redo your flooring too. In terms of design, you want your flooring to work together with the rest of your changes. But it also has to be practical.

Polished concrete will give any modern kitchen a chic, industrial edge. At the same time, solid wood kitchen flooring gives off a natural yet cozy vibe.

Vinyl or laminate flooring is a good-looking alternative to natural wood and stone. It's also a more practical and budget-friendly option. Plus, it's easy to install.
