A typical kitchen remodel has several aspects that you need to think about carefully. From countertop materials and cabinet finishes to kitchen layout and appliances, you have to make several decisions and ensure the most functional and appealing design choices for your space.
Your kitchen contractor would surely be happy to help you every step of the way. But remember that you don’t need to focus on big-ticket changes to make the most impact on your kitchen. Oftentimes, it’s the smallest details that can make a big difference in your kitchen’s appearance and functionality.
In this article, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Beaverton shares four tiny details that can make a huge impact on your kitchen remodel.
Grout Color
This usually comes as an afterthought in kitchen renovation projects. But with the right color choice, it can enhance any tiled surface — such as your backsplash, countertop and flooring — by adding dimension, texture and contrast. Grout may not take up significant space, but it can draw the eye to certain areas or design elements in your kitchen. Here’s a good example of this: Using black or dark brown grout with white subway tiles create good contrast and will make your tile stand out.
Task Lighting
An experienced kitchen remodeler knows the value of good lighting, especially task lighting. Undercabinet lighting is mainly intended to brighten the countertop area so that food preparation can be done more comfortably and safely. When installing the task light, make sure that it is positioned toward the front of the cabinet and not toward the back. Placing the light closer to the back wall will highlight the backsplash tile and not the counter.
Pullout for Oils and Sauces
Assign a specific area for your oils and sauces. You might want to consider placing at least one pullout next to your range so that frequently used oils and sauces can be easily accessed when you’re cooking. Don’t worry about the heat coming from the range. It won’t be able to turn the oils since most ranges have good insulation.
Hardware
A piece of hardware may seem like a minor detail. But collectively, your choice of hardware can affect the overall look and design of your kitchen since it will be in every corner of your space — from the faucet to the cabinet hinges. So take your time in choosing the shape, style, finish and size of your hardware.
