In a kitchen renovation, the first thing you should focus on is the overall design. Once you have a good design, planning the rest of what makes a kitchen functional, beautiful and comfortable becomes simpler. The premier kitchen remodeling company in the area, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of St. Louis Park, shares some of the hallmarks of good kitchen design:

1. Substantial space. There’s almost always someone in the kitchen throughout the day and, come dinnertime, it becomes the busiest part of your home. At times, the space can become a bit too crowded. A well-designed kitchen should have enough space for at least three people to work in. This allows for free movement, which makes kitchen tasks not only more efficient but safer as well.
2. More and better storage. You want an organized kitchen and this means ensuring that every item has its own place. When planning your kitchen remodel, take your available storage into account. This project is the perfect opportunity to upgrade your shelving and cabinets to optimize accessibility and organization in this particular space. 
3. Low-maintenance materials. Good kitchen design makes cleaning and maintenance easier and less time-consuming. Your choice of surface materials can affect this. If you want to keep it low-maintenance, invest in countertops and backsplashes that are nonporous. This way, all it takes to keep them clean and looking great is a quick wipe-down. Prime examples of these materials include quartz, laminate and glass. They are durable enough to resist stains and scratches.
4. Durable flooring. We’ve mentioned that the kitchen always sees plenty of traffic. You’ll want to invest in a flooring material that can take a lot of abuse. Choose floors that are tough, won’t scuff easily and allow for minimal cleanup. Natural stone, concrete, ceramic and porcelain are all great options.
