22 Kitchen Remodel options
Every kitchen remodel begins as a dream and some inspiration. To get the inspiration train moving, I’ve narrowed it down to just ten, okay, fifteen of the best kitchen remodel options we’ve shared here on Bekob. This was so hard to choose — like choosing a go-to chocolate bar, because they all are just so wonderful…
No two kitchens are alike, but doing all or part of a kitchen remodel yourself is a great way to cut costs so you can have the kitchen of your dreams while still on a modest-cost.
And now, here are the kitchen remodel options I chose as our Bekob’s go-to kitchen remodels. Click the link to see the full project, including the kitchen remodel before and afters — you won’t believe how some of these kitchens started out!
White Cabinets
The white cabinet trend is still going strong. If you aren’t able to go all white, try a two toned look. Or go with contrasting countertops in darker shades. Here are some options for inspiration for white cabinet kitchen remodel options.

Remodeling Pro Tips
There are so many things we have learned from our remodels. here are a couple of great pointers to consider before starting a kitchen remodel.
- Consider remodeling in phases. It can be hard to be without a kitchen for a long time. Break down your kitchen remodel into chunks to accomplish easily over time. It make take longer, but it can help save your sanity throughout the process.
- Create an Inspiration File. I like to do this when looking through magazines, or even better when surfing the internet or pursing Pinterest. Create a Kitchen Remodel board and save all of your options in one place. P.S. Follow us on Pinterest for more great options.
- Decide what you can Handmade and what you need to hire out. As we mentioned before doing some of the kitchen remodel work yourself can save you money overall. If you can do demo, great. Find what skills you feel are easily done by and then research hiring out the rest.
