Kitchen remodeling is no easy task. After all, you’ll need to find the right contractor for the job, figure out the budget and even the date of when you intend to get the job done. With so many things on your plate, it’s inevitable that you’re going to make a few mistakes here and there. Thankfully, it is possible to avoid these mistakes.
-
High Appliances – Surprisingly enough, it is possible to place a few appliances, such as the coffee maker or the microwave, at a higher place than usual. As it turns out, however, this is something that you should avoid as much as possible as it can be hazardous to yourself or any children in your home. Therefore, it’s best that you stick to the good old fashioned way and place these appliances on the countertops.
-
Narrow Passage – If your kitchen has an island or is constructed in a u-shape, the distance between them should be at least 8 inches to allow the drawers to open completely. Otherwise, it can get cramped, and people won’t be able to freely move around the room.
-
Poor Lighting – Lighting can help with your kitchen’s ambiance, but it also allows you to work efficiently in the kitchen. With that in mind, make sure to provide enough lighting in all the work areas of the room.
-
Lack of Storage Space – One of the common mistakes that homeowners make when trying to create an ideal kitchen layout is avoiding the installation of upper kitchen cabinets due to the belief that the kitchen would look better without them. However, this isn’t necessarily true as doing so would cause you to lose some valuable storage space for your kitchen equipment.
-
Inadequately Sized Kitchen Triangle – The kitchen triangle is the area where you often do your work around the kitchen and consists of the fridge, stove and sink. Regardless of the size of the entire kitchen, there has to be a comfortable area between these things as a kitchen triangle that is too small can cause everyone to bump into one another. A kitchen triangle that’s too large, meanwhile, can make cooking tedious.
