Do you love your Lake Michigan cottage, but hate its outdated kitchen? While the kitchen is often the heart and soul of any Michigan cottage, it can also be the room that needs the most updating. The good news is that our cottage remodelers in Grand Rapids, MI, are ready to roll up their sleeves. We’re just a call away when you’re ready to start your cottage kitchen remodel.
In the meantime, here’s what we consider to be the top 5 must-haves for any cottage kitchen.
1. Light and Airy Colors
A should be inspired by the nature that surrounds it. Why not choose a crisp classic white and a light, airy color palette to match? Choosing light neutrals will grant some much-deserved attention to the gorgeous views right outside your windows.
2. Farmhouse Sink
Is there anything more classic than a farmhouse sink? If you’re going for a vintage-inspired cottage remodel, you can’t go wrong with the simple elegance and practical design of an apron-front sink. One of the trademark features of a farmhouse sink is its deep bowl, which allows for dishes or pots to be stacked and washed with relative ease. No more splashing water onto the countertops!
3. Open Shelving
Open shelving will do a lot to help your cottage kitchen feel more spacious. It’ll also motivate you to declutter your kitchen space so you can focus on what matters most. To keep a uniform design, consider using dishware that’s a traditional white or other solid color.
4. Durable Kitchen Flooring
Your kitchen flooring should be beautiful, yet strong enough to withstand sandy feet, wet dogs, and active children. It’s a tough task, but our cottage kitchen remodelers are up for the challenge! If you love the look of natural hardwood floors, consider luxury vinyl flooring instead.
Vinyl flooring can capture the aesthetic of natural wood—without the maintenance. It also has a durable design that’s resistant to water, sand, spills, kids, and pets. What more could you want?
If you’re not a fan of luxury vinyl flooring, there are plenty of other options to consider for your . For example, our cottage kitchen remodelers may recommend ceramic, porcelain, or stone tile.
We offer a full range of Michigan cottage remodeling services to transform your property into your “home away from home.”
5. Breakfast Nook
Looking to add some cottage comfort to your lakeside getaway? What better way to get started than with a breakfast nook? If you have the space for it, a breakfast nook is the perfect space to savor a cup of coffee while watching the sun rise over the lake. It’s also a great spot for lively family discussions over scrambled eggs, pancakes, and bacon. The bonus is that you can use a “breakfast” nook for any meal.
