Designing the Heart of Your Home: Kitchen Remodel Ideas

When you invest in remodeling your kitchen, you’re investing in help reimagining the space, not just updating it—when you come to Shack Built, that is. We know that there are a lot of kitchen remodel ideas out there, but they aren’t all right for you, even if you like the way they look.

Here’s how to narrow down your ideas and make your kitchen look and feel like yours.

Considering Functional and Aesthetic Elements

Even making one minor change to your kitchen can affect your entire home—something we call building science. So when you’re weighing your options for your industrial, eclectic, or modern kitchen design in Leawood, you need to consider how every piece of the puzzle works together (not just how they look).

That’s why our team takes the time to understand not just your style, but how you want to use your kitchen.

How to Find the Best Contractor for Kitchen Renovations in Overland Park

For example, this client wanted to make her kitchen better for daily living and entertaining, so we opened things up to improve traffic flow and make room for more than one chef. Beyond the stunning range hood complemented by elegant quartz and upgraded appliances complete with gold finishes, we also thought about all the seemingly little things. From hiding small appliances inside custom cabinetry so she could display her favorite things to installing lights and outlets where she needed them, we blended her aesthetic with functionality on her terms, creating a space that reflects her entire identity.

Rethinking the Layout

More than half of the people who decide to remodel their kitchen do it because they “can no longer stand their old kitchen,” and that goes beyond appliances, finishes, and how everything looks. Your family’s routine changes over the years, but your space doesn’t—on its own, at least.

That’s why we don’t limit you to the confines of your existing space. We can reinvent it so that it looks and works better for you.

For example, we expanded this kitchen by 200 square feet, making room for a purpose-built bar and more storage. We opened the kitchen up to the family’s screened-in patio, transforming the space to seamlessly connect with their outdoor space.
