Split level homes are full of charm, but the kitchen layout can often feel closed-off or outdated. If you’re living in a home built in the 60s, 70s, or 80s, you’re probably dealing with a kitchen that feels boxed in, poorly lit, or disconnected from the rest of your living space.

The good news? A professional remodel can solve those issues—and give your home the open, modern feel it deserves.

If you're thinking about split level house kitchen renovations, you're not alone. More and more Los Angeles homeowners are turning to experienced remodeling contractors like Green Star Remodeling to rework their kitchens into beautiful, usable spaces that work for their lifestyle.

What Is a Split Level Kitchen?

In a split level home, the kitchen is often placed on a middle level, with stairs going up to bedrooms and down to the family room or basement. While this design offers a functional separation of space, it also creates some unique kitchen challenges, like:

• Walls that block natural light

• Limited layout flexibility

• Awkward transitions to dining or living rooms

• Low ceilings or boxed-in overheads

That’s why renovation is such a game-changer.

How a Kitchen Renovation Can Transform Your Split Level Home

At Green Star Remodeling, we’ve helped dozens of homeowners turn tight, closed-off kitchens into open, modern spaces that connect seamlessly with the rest of their home.

Here’s how we do it:

1. Remove Walls and Open Sightlines

Most split level kitchens are surrounded by partial or full walls. Removing non-load-bearing walls creates better flow and opens up the space visually and functionally.

2. Add a Central Island or Peninsula

If you can’t fully open up the kitchen, adding an island helps define the space while making it more social and efficient.

3. Install Custom Cabinets and Storage

Older split levels often waste vertical space. Custom cabinets that reach the ceiling, corner pull-outs, and pantry upgrades are great for storage and style.

4. Update Lighting and Layout

Strategic lighting and a reimagined floor plan can make even a small kitchen feel large, bright, and luxurious.

5. Use Neutral Colors and Reflective Materials

Light-colored finishes, backsplashes, and stone countertops reflect light and visually expand the space.
