What are Your Kitchen Design Priorities?
Think about your kitchen as it is today. What’s on your wish list?
- More storage space?
- Clearing countertops to create more work areas?
- Restructuring the flow so you can function better on a daily basis?
Can Your Household Accommodate Change?
Planning for future changes is a good way to add longevity to your kitchen remodel.
- If you have children, they’ll use the kitchen more and more as they get older and begin preparing foods, charging devices, and eat with friends.
- What about the elderly parents possibly moving in and sharing the space?
- Will you be entertaining and want more room to have seating for guest at an island while you cook?
Ergonomics and Convenience
Drawers, sliding shelves, or fixed shelves?
- Drawers in base cabinets are good for heavy items like cookware and dishes. With drawers that pull out you can see and access everything.
- Sliding shelves work well for lighter items and offer maximum visibility and ease of use.
- Deep cabinets with standard shelves are sturdy for heavy items, can hold a lot, and are great for storing things that may not be used as frequently.
