Modern Kitchen Design Options & Custom Trends in Los Angeles

Once the bones of your kitchen are in place, it’s time to get creative. You can make the most of your Southern California kitchen with any of these design ideas. 

Seamless Indoor/Outdoor Kitchen Design for Los Angeles Living

Quick access to the outdoors from your kitchen via a sliding or folding glass door comes in clutch on those sunny days. You can also make an indoor/outdoor kitchen more functional by making use of passthrough windows. You can open the window up directly to an outdoor bar or you can have the countertop extend through the window to lock in some extra space. Plus, you can tie it all together with a continuous flooring pattern so you always feel at home whether you’re inside or outside. 

Spanish/Spanish Revival

If you’ve got one of these classic Los Angeles types of homes, you want to make sure that your remodel honors this architectural style and complements the rest of your home. Glazed terracotta floors are beautiful, durable, and moisture resistant. You can also go with a zellige backsplash to give your kitchen walls the rich texture that’s synonymous with Spanish and Spanish Revival homes. Preserve your home’s character in the kitchen by prioritizing arches and plaster tiles in your remodel. 

Mid-century

Mid-century sits on the cusp or traditional and modern. A kitchen remodel that stays true to this style will likely have walnut cabinetry. Geometric tiles usually line the floors and backsplashes and there’s a clear preference for open, uncluttered layouts which can make your kitchen feel even more open and spacious.

Kitchen Remodeling Cost Factors & Budgeting in Los Angeles

By definition, remodeling any area of your home — but especially the kitchen — can be a significant financial investment. However, there are ways to keep costs in check based on a number of different factors. 

One thing that will increase the cost of your kitchen remodel is rearranging the position and layout of key appliances. Specifically, moving the sink and the range can add expenses to your project due to the logistical challenges of relocating these items. You can save money by leaving these items where they are and upgrading them to higher quality products and remodeling the rest of the kitchen around them. 

Cabinetry is another area where you can go for a less expensive option or splurge on something top of the line. Stock cabinets are typically going to be more cost-effective over semi-custom or custom-made cabinetry. Plus, you’re less likely to run into delays involving stock and availability issues when you choose standard cabinets. 

Finally, appliances can have a wide variance in costs. Basic appliances can save on costs, however you may miss out on some useful features that can make being in the kitchen even better. Luxury appliances may cost more, but will likely complement your Southern California home much better and offer you an elevated culinary experience.
