They’ve shared some of their favorite designer tips, to help you get the most from your space.

5 Simple Designer Secrets for Your Kitchen Renovation

1. Keep to Consistent Designs

If you’re replacing your cabinetry, you’ll do wonders for your design by ensuring all cabinets have the same reveal, which is the part of a cabinet that shows up even after the door is attached. Consistent reveals and edge design are some of the most important aspects of good kitchen design.

2. Choose Flush Edges for a Modern Look

One simple and effective way to modernize your kitchen is by choosing cabinet drawers/doors that are flush with your countertops. This creates a sleek and streamlined look, which can make your kitchen seem cleaner and more contemporary.

3. Use Smart Door Placement

With kitchens, it’s easy to inadvertently create counterintuitive situations. For example, doors that open directly into walls or dishwashers that block access to cupboards, making it harder to unload dishes. So, if your renovation involves moving or installing large appliances or cabinets, put extra thought into their placement.

4. Be Thoughtful About Pullout Drawers & Pantries

Thinking of installing a pullout pantry? Remember that bigger isn’t always better — if it’s too wide, it might end up being too heavy to move. Consider installing individual roll-out shelves for your pantry, which are easier to move.

5. Consider Oversized Storage

Baking trays, sheets, and broiling pans are notoriously difficult to store because they’re often too wide for most spaces. If you have a lot of these unwieldy culinary tools, consider installing shelves for them.
