Kitchen Remodeling Tips

If you are remodeling your Lakefront home at the Lake of the Ozarks, deciding on finishes can be one of the most challenging aspects, especially for a kitchen remodel. Let’s face it, there are so many trends and so many options to choose from and it can seem overwhelming. When it comes to your home, there are no set rules for choosing materials and finishes. You should look at your design style and your lifestyle to help determine what would be best for your home. Mission Bay has some tips to help you make sense of your kitchen remodel.

Start with the Countertops

The countertops are a great place to start when deciding what color concept you want in your kitchen. This is because it can be the biggest single item of color and texture, especially if your kitchen has an island. The countertops usually serve as the foundation for the rest of your kitchen's materials palette.

You will want to choose a countertop that is durable and easy to clean, such as granite or a manmade material like quartz. If you want your kitchen to make a bigger statement, you can choose a material such as concrete. There are many new trends when it comes to the countertop material and style. You will want to aim for a material that's light, smooth and reflective. Large tiles or slabs of stone will minimize grout lines and create a smooth and easy-to-clean surface. It's best to stick with a single countertop material, with a slight variation at the pantry or island for consistency and simplicity.

Choose the Cabinets

If your kitchen has more cabinets than counter space, then you may want to consider beginning with them instead. Cabinets can be one of the most prominent items, as they are usually eye level. It's best to keep them simple and natural. It's best to stick to a small color palette and use neutrals if your kitchen is on the smaller side. It's best to keep the cabinets light in color to open and brighten the space. If you have a large kitchen and want to make a statement, consider using colored cabinets. Navy blue and gray cabinets are on trend right now.

Pull the Space Together

You can use contrast to pull the entire space together. If the counters are a rich, dark color, go with a lighter backsplash. While a monochromatic approach can be great, if the countertop is visually active, use a simple backsplash to make it stand out. Choose a backsplash color that visually contrasts with the countertop and cabinets. Floors are usually decided based on the surrounding rooms, but make sure the colors won't clash with what's in your kitchen. Lighting, fixtures, bar stools and hardware can bring the entire look together. However, less is more. If there are too many different materials and colors, it could look busy.

Spring Decorating

While some days it may not feel like it, spring is officially in motion and summer is quickly approaching. Now is the perfect time to get your lakefront home at the Lake of the Ozarks decorated for the warmer months ahead. The Lake truly comes alive in the spring and your home should reflect that. If you need a little help decorating or sprucing up your home, Mission Bay has a few tips on how to help bring spring into your home.

 Spruce Up Your Deck & Outdoor Space 

Spring is a great time to spend your days and nights enjoying your outdoor space. Make sure it's a place you want to be. When decorating your home for spring, be sure to include your deck and any patios. Add some plants and flowers to make it really feel like spring has sprung. It may also be a good idea to replace the seat cushions on your deck chairs, especially if they have been left out over the winter season. You can even get creative and add some fun string lights to give you extra lighting when you’re spending your evenings outdoors.

Eliminate Distracting Decorations

While this may seem like the opposite of what you should do, there's nothing that makes your home feel lighter than eliminating any clutter. The weather can't make up its mind right now, so this is the perfect task to do during a cloudy and chilly day. Decluttering allows you to focus your attention on the decor you have. When putting things away, think outside the box. It doesn't have to all be in plastic containers, you can use a variety of baskets, peg rails, and hooks.

Bring In Some Spring Color

Spring is the best time to introduce color into your home. Soft blues, pastel pinks and hints of lavender are all perfect spring colors to add to your decor. Use these spring colors by adding a light blanket or pillow on the couch, or add new wall decor in the living room. You don’t have to paint walls in your house and buy all new furniture. When you have a neutral color scheme, adding in pops of color for the different seasons is an easy task.

Add Fresh Flowers

Flowers all around the outside of your house are blooming, so why not bring some of those flowers indoors? Fresh flowers add life to a dull room and can brighten up any space. Place some fresh cut, spring flowers in a beautiful vase and place them in the kitchen, living room, bedroom or deck. Don’t forget about your front door! Wreaths aren't just for the holidays. Greet guests with a beautiful fresh wreath.

Spring Linens & Throws

One of the best ways to transition your home through the seasons is by changing the linens throughout your home. Switch your bedsheets from flannel to cotton and switch out your throw blankets and pillows for light, spring colored ones. It's an instant spring fix! Don’t neglect the bathroom and kitchen though! You can replace the hand towels in your kitchen and bathroom with lightweight and colorful ones for spring. Small changes can have a big impact on your space.
