4 Common Kitchen Design Mistakes To Avoid

Renovation of kitchen is a major project that needs a lot of planning. When designing a kitchen, it is very important to ensure that you create a harmonious working space at home. Mistakes are almost always inevitable. However, some major mistakes may derail the project, which is costly. We have 4 common design mistakes you should avoid.

1) Not prioritizing storage. Storage is king, and it is very important to ensure the normal operation of your kitchen. When designing the kitchen, it is important not to be stingy with storage space, and to make the best use of the space allowed in the home. A kitchen that lacks storage space will become difficult to manage. You don't want to worry about finding a place for your most commonly used kitchen items. And don't forget to store vertically! Especially in smaller kitchens, making full use of all the space is essential to ensure that all your belongings can be easily stored.

2) Forget the work triangle. When designing the kitchen, flow and functionality are other important factors to consider. Once interrupted, cooking and cleaning will become troublesome. Consider the placement of appliances and how this process will affect your basic kitchen functions. Your sink, stove and refrigerator should be free of obstacles and placed in a way that allows them to move freely. Putting the three together properly forms a kitchen triangle, which should never be ignored.

3) There is not enough countertop space. Even if you don't think you need so much counter space, please remember that our counter will soon be filled with other daily necessities, such as coffee machines, toasters and other smaller appliances. How much preparation space does this leave for you to really prepare your meal? Not thinking about it will make you feel disorganized. If possible, try to set aside more countertop space in the kitchen design. If island is not an option, consider extra cabinets and countertop corners to allow more storage space.

4) Not using an expert. Yes, you may know what your kitchen wants, from color to hardware, and everything in between.
