In the kitchen, many homeowners deal with problems such as poor design, lack of functionality and outdated materials. Most of the time, the best solution to these issues is a kitchen renovation. To ensure a better kitchen experience, it’s important to hire expert kitchen designers who understand your lifestyle, tastes and habits.
In this article, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Tyler explains how remodeling your kitchen can solve four common problems you might face in the kitchen.
1. Storage Space Issues
Storage space is essential in any kitchen. Without adequate storage space, your kitchen will end up cluttered and messy. Consider installing upper cabinets that extend to the ceiling or extra drawers to store pots, pans and kitchen appliances. You may also want to make use of unused kitchen corner units by adding pullout corner organizers to keep kitchen contents accessible. Don’t forget to consult your remodeler for storage options that are specifically designed for smaller items, such as gadgets and utensils.
2. Not Enough Counters
If your counters lack space, or if they are not positioned where you need them, it can be frustrating. One common mistake many homeowners make is not leaving sufficient space next to or opposite an oven. You don’t want to have to carry hot food across your kitchen, looking for a counter to set it on. When planning your kitchen remodel project, be sure to consider countertops made from durable materials to withstand hot pans and prevent staining.
3. Poor Ventilation
Poor ventilation is another problem you can solve by renovating your kitchen. Remember that a good ventilation system gets rid of cooking smells, smoke and humidity. This is especially relevant if your kitchen is part of an open living space. To improve your home’s indoor air quality, your remodeler may recommend adding an exhaust fan or range hood that provides enough coverage. Make sure to purchase a high-quality model and pick the right size of ducting to fit your chosen hood.
4. Insufficient Work Space
The kitchen space is one of the busiest parts of your home. To make food preparation and cleanup easier, you may want to implement the kitchen work triangle in your design. This concept helps your remodeler to determine how close the sink, stove and fridge should be to each other for maximum efficiency.
