As the hub of the home, the kitchen should combine function and style. If your cooking space is currently lacking, you’ve probably considered kitchen remodeling to help it better suit your family’s needs. The following guide offers some suggestions for this high-traffic room.

What to Incorporate in Your Upgraded Kitchen

1. Eat-In Area

While there is still value in a formal dining area, busy families on the go will enjoy the convenience of being able to eat in the kitchen—perhaps at a multi-purpose island. Many models also come with storage for an even more efficient use of space. 

2. Natural Light

With proven benefits for our mood, bring sunlight into your kitchen by installing big picture windows. Energy-efficient models can be especially cost-saving since they decrease homeowners’ reliance on electric lights, while also preventing heat transfer. Additionally, they have many practical uses—allowing parents to keep an eye on their kids in the backyard or grow herbs on the windowsill. 

2. Custom Cabinetry

Think about your current kitchen. What frustrates you the most? Is it the spacing between shelves in the cabinet—which has a lot of height clearance for your drinking glasses, but no space tall enough to fit your vases? Or is it that there are not enough shallow drawers for your silverware? It is because of these struggles with organization that many people opt for custom cabinetry during their kitchen remodeling project. Not only does it give them more control over the materials and hardware, but it ensures they have a proper place to put their gadgets.

4. Double Ovens

While double sinks have been popular for a while, as they facilitate easier dishwashing, people are also finding a myriad of uses for double ovens. Next time the holidays roll around, you’ll enjoy the convenience of being able to bake multiple dishes at once—at different temperatures—without also having to worry about the flavors intermingling.
