If your home needs upgraded and renovated beyond the bathroom, consider a kitchen remodel. Older homes often have small, galley kitchens unable to accommodate growing families. Sometimes these kitchens need custom cabinetry and custom countertops for functionality and a make-over. If you want a change, consider a kitchen design like L-Shaped, Island, or One Wall. Here is what each design represents:

L-Shaped Kitchens: L-Shaped kitchens usually include cabinets along two perpendicular walls. This open kitchen design makes placement of appliances and work zones flexible. If space allows homeowners with L-shaped kitchens make the most of the L’s corner with a walk-in pantry cupboard.

Island Kitchens: Island kitchen designs focus on creating a large work surface or storage area in the middle of the kitchen. The countertops of the island can be used for cooking and eating surfaces. The cabinets often make up the bottom of the island. The island inthis style often serves as both a prep and social area. With the island’s location in the center of the kitchen, decorative lighting can also serve as task lighting.

One Wall Kitchens: One wall kitchens are perfect for smaller homes. This simple kitchen design is bothefficient and functional. Cabinets generally get installed against a single wall. Often, they include shelving over the cabinets. The fridge gets placed on one end, the oven in the middle, and the sink at the other end.
