Planning the design of your kitchen remodeling project is exciting. You have to make sure that your newly renovated kitchen not only looks good but also functions efficiently. Ultimately, choosing a great kitchen design improves the quality and value of your home. To help you with the design process, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Elizabethtown explains some must-haves for your kitchen.

Adequate Space

Start your kitchen design by ensuring there is enough space. If you’re renovating a small kitchen, consider extending the walls to ensure adequate space for movement and storage. Small, cramped spaces can increase the chances of an accident. It’s also better for air circulation and ventilation to have more space when cooking. A well-ventilated kitchen prevents humidity and moisture build-up inside your home. 

Proper Storage

During your kitchen renovation, research space-saving pull-out cabinets and drawers. Carefully choose the size and function of the cabinets that are suitable for your kitchen’s layout. A well-designed kitchen is not only aesthetically pleasing, it is also equipped with great organization and accessibility.

Efficient Appliances & Stylish Countertops

Beyond eye-pleasing design, your kitchen should be durable too. Choose quality materials, especially if you like cooking and spending time in your kitchen. When shopping for fixtures and appliances, choose products that are efficient and suitable for your needs.

Durable Flooring

Generally, families spend a lot of their time in the kitchen. It’s a space that endures heavy foot traffic daily, so it’s important to equip it with durable flooring. You have several options for flooring including vinyl, wood and tile. Just make sure to choose a material that is easy to clean and maintain. It’s best to go with flooring that complements your kitchen’s design and, at the same time, stands up to water and impact damage.

Proper Lighting

To boost your kitchen’s efficiency and complete your kitchen remodel, you should have three types of lighting. The first one is basic lighting to illuminate the whole kitchen. Then, you should add task lighting that will help you work safely. Finally, install accent lighting to highlight your kitchen’s features.
