If a kitchen isn’t working for you, it can be a real thorn in your side. A kitchen remodel is one of the most common remodeling projects among homeowners. It is not only popular, but it is quite possible the most expensive remodeling project you can do too. The upgrades and options are endless, but they all add up. When it comes to a kitchen remodel, you want to know that you are getting the most out of your money that will give you the kitchen of your dreams. Texas Home Solutions / Bath Vision is here to talk about common kitchen design mistakes that often leave homeowners disappointed so that you don’t make the same mistake.
Kitchen Work Triangle
There are three things that you use in the kitchen on a regular basis; the kitchen sink, oven/stove and refrigerator. These three spots in your kitchen should make up a triangle. The space between these three hot spots should be between 4 and 9 feet. Another thing to remember is to avoid putting anything in the path between these three things. Don’t put cabinets, an island or trashcans between these three points.
Modern Kitchen Lighting
The lighting in your kitchen is extremely important. There are several tasks that you are constantly completely from cooking to homework, you will need adequate lighting to effectively work in the space. General lighting that will give the space decent light is important, but you should also focus on task lighting and accent lighting as well to create a kitchen that has the light you are going to need.
Solutions to No Counter Space
If you have the opportunity to put more counterspace in your kitchen, you should. Most people don’t ever feel like they have too much counterspace. You have to remember that most people use their kitchen for more than preparing food. You need to have multiple workspaces available for whatever you and those you love may be doing in the kitchen at the same time.
Kitchen Storage
Kind of like counterspace, many people don’t ever feel they put too much cabinet space and storage space in their kitchen. Many cabinet manufacturers now offer several different storage solutions that you can choose from to customize your kitchen to work well for your needs.
Kitchen Island Size & Placement
An island in your kitchen can be a great addition if it is the right size and in the right place. If it is small or doesn’t have the right spacing between the other cabinets in the area, it can do more harm than it can good.
