If you need to remodel your home’s kitchen, there are a number of things that can go wrong on your project. Take a look at our blog to learn what mistakes you should try to avoid when remodeling your home’s kitchen!
Not Planning Where Your Appliances Go
While you’re trying to take advantage of every square inch of space you have to work with, make sure you take into consideration the direction that cabinets open, as well as your fridge, oven, and other appliances. Make sure that while you’re planning out your kitchen layout, you take care to ensure that all of your appliances are functional within the scope of your kitchen
Making Your Island Too Big
Another mistake that homeowners often make when remodeling their kitchens is making their island larger than they can feasibly use. If your island is too long or long to reach over, it can reduce the functionality of your kitchen and become more of a hazard and bother than a useful space for storage and prep. If you’re considering building an enormous kitchen island, try to split the island in half to make it more functional and less of a hassle to move around!
Not Adding Enough Storage
Another common mistake that many homeowners make is neglecting to add enough storage space to their kitchens. If you’re remodeling your entire kitchen, including adding new cabinets to the space, remember to add enough storage space for all of your pots, pans, and other dry storage. The last thing you want to do is spend thousands on remodeling your kitchen just to find out that you’re going to need to build a pantry because you forgot to add enough cabinets to the space!
Making The Space Too Tight
Imagine you’re working on cooking dinner with your children or significant other. You’re working on meal prepping on your countertops and someone is trying to move past you with a pan that needs to go into the sink. They can’t easily fit past you because of an oversized island and they end up bumping you while you’re chopping something and you cut your fingers. Ensure that your kitchen is easily navigable by leaving enough space for everyone to move freely within the kitchen.
