A kitchen renovation project is always exciting, especially when your current kitchen doesn’t give your guests that ”wow” expression on their faces when they walk in. It’s fair to say that you would want to give a youthful look to this room. It is, after all, the central meeting place for the household. Whether you have a classic kitchen, a contemporary kitchen or an industrial kitchen in mind, it’s important to determine what you really like before deciding on renovating. It’s useful to take a look at inspiring photos of renovated kitchens before officially picking a style for yours.
To help you get plenty of ideas, we’ve put together 12 kitchen renovation projects our Verified Contractors have finished. We also invite you to check out our article – which we put together with our best design experts – on the latest kitchen trends.
If space permits, expanding the patio door and the windows adjacent to your kitchen will allow you to let in a lot of natural light and create a sense of closeness to the outdoors. By choosing a custom-made 3-panel patio door and white lacquered wood cabinets that go all the way to the ceiling (and with glass door inserts), this family got a luminous, modern and inviting kitchen, which contributes to creating an appearance of magnitude.
All the space has been carefully thought out in collaboration with an experienced kitchen contractor. Moreover, in order to allow quick and logical access to kitchen accessories, the multiple cabinets have modern drawers with multiple rails with integrated storage.

It’s rare to see the price of a complete kitchen renovation (materials and labour) under the $20,000-25,000 mark, but depending on the type of materials chosen and the layout of your kitchen, it is still possible to obtain a great result at a good price. For this project, not only was the kitchen completely renovated, but the contractor also enlarged the main window to allow more natural lighting into the house.
