How to Balance Style and Function in Your Kitchen Remodel

Nothing illustrates the need for the balance between style and function than a kitchen remodel. This is why it’s important not to rush into a kitchen quote and take your time in creating a plan. In today’s post, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Amarillo shares insight on how to achieve balance between style and function in your kitchen remodel.

Define Your Goals

A clear set of goals is the foundation of a good remodeling plan. Why are you remodeling your kitchen in the first place? Is there anything that’s getting in the way of your workflow? Which parts of the kitchen are working, and which parts are not?

Get creative with how you organize your goals — use a corkboard, a whiteboard, a scrapbook or an app like Pinterest where you can gather reference materials. Make a list of “must-haves,” or your non-negotiable goals, and the ones that are “nice to have” but can be dropped if needed. Ultimately, your list of goals will inform your decisions, from drawing the kitchen estimate to completing the kitchen remodel.

Optimize the Floor Plan

You have to be 100% sure of the floor plan or kitchen layout, as changes to it will affect every other part of the remodel. If you need a reference for an efficient floor plan, start with the traditional kitchen triangle, which has three points — sink, stove and refrigerator — set equilaterally, enabling efficient movement. You can change things around to suit your workflow; in large kitchens, the points can be entire workstations.

Work With an Experienced Remodeler

You need a remodeler that can bring your plans to life. Remodelers have areas of expertise, and it’s important to choose one that has actual experience with kitchens. You can benefit from their experience and insight, and may even spot things that you may have overlooked when you were making your plans, ultimately leading to a well-balanced kitchen design.
