There is much more to a kitchen remodeling project than installing new cabinets and countertops while adding a flashy new backsplash. If you take the time during the planning stages and follow a few helpful tips, you can turn your new kitchen into a space that surpasses the one that you have been dreaming of.
Here are 5 kitchen remodeling tips that will help you create your best kitchen design:
Think about how you use your kitchen every single day. Do you spend time walking from one side of the room to the other, as you gather cups, bowls, and food to make breakfast? Is it the same for lunch, dinner, and snacks too? Do you walk miles every night when you clear out the dishwasher? Save yourself some steps and design your new kitchen so that your breakfast items are near where you use them, your cooking utensils and pots and pans are near your stove, and your dishes are stored near the dishwasher.
You may think that you can get away with the bare minimum for walkways in your new kitchen but trust us when we say that you will be happy if you choose to have wider ones. This will especially hold true when everyone is in there trying to grab snacks and drinks as you are trying to make dinner.
Microwaves that are placed too high can cause accidents to happen when food is sloshing all over the place. Avoid those issues and many more by installing your microwave at a height that is perfect for those who will be using it the most. Fifteen inches above the countertop is perfect for adults, while an under the counter option is usually best for children.
An island is a fantastic feature in any kitchen, but you need to know how you will use it before you can choose the one that will work best for your needs. If you are planning on using your island for eating, then it does not need to be as large as it would if you were using it for meal prep or cooking as well.
While you may be prepared to go with the standard height for countertops, you may want to reconsider, especially if you do a lot of baking. Lower countertops are perfect for rolling out cookie dough and pie crusts, kneading bread dough, and allowing children to help you with meal prep.
These five tips will help ensure that you design the kitchen of your dreams the first time around. We recommend that you take your time during the planning process, so that you can see which areas might need a little more TLC than others.
