Older homes have soul. Their creaky floors, arched doorways, and vintage charm tell stories that new builds simply can't. But when it comes to kitchens, those stories sometimes include cramped layouts, outdated appliances, and not enough light. If you're living in a historic or vintage home and dreaming of a more functional space, you're not alone—older home kitchen remodeling ideas are trending for all the right reasons.
The good news? You can modernize your kitchen without sacrificing the character that makes your home unique. And Coco Design & Build Co. is the team that knows how to do it right.
With over 25 years of experience remodeling kitchens in Evanston and the surrounding North Shore, Coco blends the best of both worlds—classic charm and contemporary convenience. From preserving original moldings and hardwood floors to installing smart layouts, built-in storage, and custom cabinetry, their approach honors the history of your home while updating it for today’s lifestyle.
One of the most effective older home kitchen remodeling ideas? Open up the floor plan—removing non-structural walls or adding pass-throughs to create flow without compromising architectural integrity. Another favorite? Add layered lighting with under-cabinet fixtures and vintage-inspired pendants to enhance both function and mood. And don’t forget smart storage solutions—think pull-out pantries, deep drawers, and cabinets designed to work with your daily rhythm.
