Remodeling a kitchen takes careful and strategic planning. You want it to be designed in a way that meets the needs of you and your family. Do you enjoy doing a lot of cooking and baking, or are you looking for a casual eat-in space? Whether you have a small family or like to entertain many friends, Home Improvements Unlimited LLC can design a beautiful and functional space perfect for you.
One of the most important things to consider is the flow of traffic. Not only does a strategic flow keep people from bumping into each other, but it directs people to the social area and out of the cooking space. Consider placing the refrigerator in the walk-through social area so they can grab a quick snack or something to drink. An ideal place for the oven, dishwasher, and sink is in the cooking area.
If you don’t plan for enough space around cabinets and appliances, you may run into an accessibility issue. There must be plenty of room so doors can be completely open and won’t bang on each other. Make sure the aisles are wide enough that the refrigerator and dishwasher doors can open completely.
A kitchen island can be used for many things, but choosing its main function makes a difference in the various features to be included. An island for prepping meals or baking cookies needs storage space for bowls, utensils, baking sheets, and sharp knives. An island that functions as an eating space must have seating and storage for silverware, dishes, condiments, and more.
For many families, the kitchen acts as the hub of the home. Take advantage of this and include a message center for your entire family. Keep it in the social area where traffic flows in and out so everyone can see it. Consider including a bulletin board, chalkboard, and calendar to display meal plans, work and school schedules, appointments, and messages.
