Let this vision inspire and motivate you as you plan your remodel.
Empower yourself by carefully planning your kitchen remodel. This proactive approach will ensure you don’t fall into the same pitfalls as others in similar situations, giving you a sense of control and confidence in your project.
Too Much Stainless Steel: Having all of your large appliances match stainless steel finishes is a great idea. Every detail can be purchased in stainless steel – such as a microwave, coffee maker, and toaster.
Too Few Electrical Outlets: This is an important detail that is often overlooked when redesigning a kitchen. Consider how many appliances and gadgets you have in your kitchen that require electricity. You might also need to charge your phone or tablet or plug in a vacuum cleaner or floor sweeper. This is a common kitchen design error. Plan accordingly.
Proper Ventilation is Not a Good Idea: Even those who only cook sometimes might need to remember to consider ventilation. It would help if you did not cook on the stove because of strong smells, such as bacon, on Sunday morning. These smells can be dispersed by a ceiling fan or hood, which will help clear the air.
Storage Space is Not Enough: Getting caught up in the details of what new kitchen finishes you need and where they will be installed is easy. All kitchen items must be stored somewhere, including dishes, tools, utensils, small appliances, cookbooks, cleaning supplies, and other cooking equipment. Otherwise, you run the risk of a messy, cluttered kitchen design.
You don’t have Enough Lighting: People are so focused on the big picture that they forget the details. It is hard to imagine anyone wanting to work in a dark and gloomy kitchen. You will need more lighting if you have only one overhead fluorescent light. Pure Wow suggests that at least three types are recommended for lighting – spot, overhead, and accent lighting.
