Remodeling your kitchen may seem overwhelming, and the options for you to choose from may add to this daunting sense. Before you get started, keep in mind the primary functions of your kitchen: to cook, to eat and drink, to store food and supplies, and fellowship. Determine what you must have (storage, a double sink, etc.) and what you want (a work desk, a super-sized island for making noodles.) A great remodel job incorporates functionality with an appealing design that feeds the aesthetic taste of most individuals.
Pay attention to how things will blend together, from the lighting to the flooring, and showcase certain select details that will unearth your style. Read on to learn some tips for making your kitchen remodel a success:
Function
How will your kitchen function? Will it be more of a
culinary area with a few bar stools, or will there be more of a seating area?
If a dining room is also a part of your floor plan, ensure your layout between
both spaces is complementary rather than incongruent.
Storage
Added storage is a must in kitchen design. Extra
plates and small appliances can be hidden under drawers and cabinets, and
pantry items can be stored behind doors. Large drawers can be placed at a lower
level to help with access, and pull-out drawers are great for heavy or bulkier
items.
Cabinets
From transparent glass-front to opaque solid wood,
cabinets are a crucial part of kitchen design. If you have some fine china to
display or, rather, grubby little handprints you want to be less-noticeable,
consider all the pros and cons when choosing.
Lighting
The latest lighting trend includes a mix of styles
such as pendants, chandeliers, or recessed lights. All of these options - and
more - provide different settings based on mood and functionality. Consider
under-cabinet lighting for more accessibility.
Hardware
Brass, silver, chrome, brushed stainless, etc., are
all common finishes in a kitchen design. Matte black can be striking and bold,
while warm-toned metals such as gold can be inviting. Ensure your hardware
matches the faucets so everything is consistent.
Countertops
While white marble is difficult to maintain, stainless
steel can bow or scratch. Quartz is durable, and granite can withstand high
heat. Natural stone can contrast with quartz, as well. The options are endless,
but with so many selections come different advantages and disadvantages. Be aware
of what each countertop can withstand before making a final decision.
Flooring
The latest trend is to use the same flooring as the
surrounding living area to create a more open feel. Carpeting, however, is not
sought after in kitchens, so be mindful of how your new floor will connect with
the surrounding area.
