Your kitchen is one of the most used rooms in your home so as time goes by, materials get damaged and wear out. The current design of your kitchen may not accommodate your needs as it once did. For these reasons, you should consider a kitchen renovation.
In today’s post, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Burlington County shares how remodeling your kitchen can help you solve some common problems.
1. Inefficient Workflow
Many homeowners renovate their kitchen space to improve workflow and increase functionality. Your current kitchen design might have been acceptable for your needs 10 years ago, but now, in the age of technology and smartphones, there are many ways to save time and stress when prepping meals.
If you’re looking for ways to enhance workflow, the kitchen work triangle concept is one thing you should consider. This design concept helps remodelers determine how close the sink, the stove and the fridge should be to each other for the most efficient floor plan. You may also want to incorporate smart technology.
2. Poor Lighting
Good lighting is extremely important in your kitchen space. If your kitchen doesn’t have great natural light, you need to consult your kitchen contractor to plan built-in lighting that best fits your space and needs. For instance, task lighting provides increased light when you’re preparing meals, while ambient lighting creates a more comfortable dining experience.
3. Confined Space
Older homes typically have a separate kitchen and dining room, which may be much too small to be functional. Thus, you might find your current kitchen space confined and cramped. In modern homes, many home contractors integrate kitchen, dining and even family room areas to maximize the space.
To improve your kitchen and dining space, your remodeler may remove the wall separating the kitchen and dining area. A peninsula can be added to separate the two rooms and serve as extra kitchen space for food preparation and storage.
4. Worn-Out Countertops
Keep in mind that cosmetic changes can transform the look of your kitchen. The countertops you purchased years ago may not be in good condition, or they may not blend well with your current kitchen design aesthetic. Your remodeler may recommend new countertops made from more durable materials that can stand up to wear and tear. Quartz countertops are popular among many homeowners for their beauty and reliability.
