10 Tips for Remodeling Your Kitchen

You’ll find plenty of remodeling designs online that you can use to completely transform your kitchen. With a detailed remodeling plan and a team of remodeling experts to help you out, the renovation process will surely run smoothly.

Here are some tips to guide you during your kitchen remodel:

1. Proper Planning

Before starting the process, make sure you have a detailed and comprehensive plan. This is essential to prevent problems from arising in the future.

A good plan allows you to make all the design choices upfront. It also makes it easier to estimate the budget needed to see the remodel through.

What should you include in your plan? Here are some of the essential aspects to consider:

  • How much space did you need?
  • The size of appliances needed.
  • The type of flooring.
  • Lighting options.

On top of your design requirements and preferences, you also need to consider local regulations.

Check out this website to find remodeling contractors who can help ensure you’re complying with proper coding and licensing guidelines.

2. Install New Flooring

Even if you’re not planning on remodeling every single aspect of your kitchen, it’s still a good idea to include your floors in your renovation plans.

A sparkling new floor can change the entire look of your kitchen. You’ll also have a lot of options to choose from, depending on certain factors like the usual traffic or the color of the walls.

Wood flooring can withstand constant traffic, resist stains if you apply the right finishing or coating, and make your kitchen feel warm and welcoming. Stone and tile floors are durable and water-resistant.

If you like colorful spaces, consider installing vinyl flooring. A kitchen remodelers brentwood tn or kitchen remodel Albuquerque contractor can help you pick the best flooring option for your lifestyle and aesthetic requirements.

3. Build an Island

Kitchen islands create more counter space and storage space. When building a kitchen island, design it according to the function it’s going to serve.

If you plan to use it for cooking and dining, it should be large enough to accommodate everyone in your household.

Make sure to allocate enough space to separate the dining area and cooking area. If you’re mainly using it for storage, add more cabinets of varying sizes.

4. Choose Your Countertops

Consider durability and convenience when selecting countertops. Granite and quartz countertops are top contenders when it comes to durability. They’re easy to maintain, and they’re also stain and scratch-resistant.

Incorporate two countertop heights if you have kids helping in meal preparation. You can also use one counter space to prepare meals and the other for dining. It’s a great way to save on space.

5. Try Open Shelving

Give your kitchen a more appealing look by changing to open shelves. They create decorative views of your kitchen and make a small kitchen look larger because of the non-existent cabinet doors.

If you prefer sticking to cabinets, try using glass doors to create a better view.

6. Create Wide Walkways

Design walkways should be wide enough to allow for easy movement in the kitchen even when appliance doors are open. Paths should be at least 36 inches wide.

In the cooking area, paths should be at least 48 inches. Kitchen islands can limit space for walkways, so be sure to adjust them to create enough space.

7. Find Better Lighting

As it is the most used room in the house, your kitchen needs to be well-lit. A kitchen with proper lighting not only ensures safety but also adds great ambiance.

Mix and match lighting options to create a versatile kitchen. Light up different zones with different colors that complement each other.

Install lighting above and under the cabinets (especially if you have glass doors) and the dining areas. Chandeliers are perfect for islands.

8. Decorative Backsplash

If you want a glamorous look for your kitchen, backsplash tiles are a must. They don’t just make your kitchen look more stylish and interesting, they also protect the wall from stains and water spots.

Consider installing backsplash racks to have easy access to your commonly used utensils.

9. Check the Corners

Create enough space in the corners to ensure your appliance and cabinets doors can easily open without banging into each other. Try using corner cabinet solutions like floating shelves or a lazy Susan.

10. Create Landing Zones

For each of your cooktops and appliances like the microwave, allocate a landing space. This is a small countertop space for placing heavy and hot utensils like pans after cooking.

Conclusion

A DIY kitchen remodels can be messy and unnecessarily complicated. It’s best to work with professionals who can ensure better outcomes for the project.
