The complexity of kitchen remodeling can be reduced by adhering to the basic dos and don’ts of kitchen remodeling.
We will explain these dos and don'ts for you to start thinking about kitchen remodeling.
The Dos
Use white as the dominant color
Using white in your kitchen is admirable because it is the most marketable color in the market. Most modern kitchen cabinets are white or have a shade of white. The reason why white is recommended is that it fits many styles in the kitchen.
Hardwood for flooring
Hardwood is a good option for flooring because of its beauty and availability. The cost is also relatively affordable compared to other options. It also creates a feeling of warmth to make the kitchen inviting.
Shaker style cabinets
Shaker cabinets are among the most popular modern kitchen cabinets. They are great for minimalistic kitchens. If you want to create a feeling of simplicity in your kitchen space, shaker cabinets will help you achieve this goal.
They are also ideal for homeowners with relatively smaller kitchen spaces. Their simple designs create an illusion of space in the kitchen to make the kitchen appear bigger.
Ergonomic design
An ergonomic design helps you to maximize your kitchen space effectively. It looks at the functional value of the kitchen and keeps it as a core consideration in your remodeling plan. This is where the work triangle is put into action. It allows you to access the basic kitchen functionalities with ease.
The Don’ts
Create a crowded kitchen
You need to declutter your kitchen space to make it modern. This is why modern kitchen cabinets are minimalistic. The idea of remodeling is to create more space and not to squeeze everything into the kitchen.
If you don’t have enough space, don’t install an island because it will make the kitchen look congested.
Focus on luxury
Luxury and aesthetics are great considerations when remodeling your kitchen space. However, much of the focus shouldn’t be put on luxury items. Keep your kitchen as functionally optimum as possible to avoid excesses that are unwanted.
But if you have excess money for your remodeling, don’t hesitate to buy high-end appliances or any other luxurious kitchen element. The key idea is to avoid focusing on luxury at the expense of functionality.
Forget garbage
You need proper storage for your garbage. Think about it when planning for your kitchen remodeling. You don’t want garbage killing the mood of your kitchen, thus, create room for a can in your room to store temporary garbage.
