Kitchen remodeling is an exciting project that allows you to rework the layout of your space while adding a personal touch to the design. Since there are a variety of factors to consider, knowing where to begin can be a challenge. Simplify the process by working through the following do’s and don’ts and hiring a licensed remodeling contractor.

Do:

Open up the space.

If there’s a non-load bearing wall in between the kitchen and dining room, knock it out. Opening up the layout will make the space appear more welcoming and create additional space for entertaining. Perform a walk-through with your remodeling contractor to determine which walls you may be able to remove for the design.

Add windows.

Natural light is excellent for brightening kitchens. Evaluate the position of your exterior walls and reposition the cabinets to make room for additional windows. This will provide you with a quality view of the yard. Plus, the increase in light may also reduce the need for electricity during the better part of the day.

Don’t:

Neglect task lighting.

Being able to see what you’re doing when working in the kitchen is essential for safety, which is why under-cabinet lighting is a smart addition for kitchen remodeling projects. It prevents your body from creating a shadow over your workstation and ensures that every surface is properly lit.

Forget about storage.

Create plenty of space for all your kitchen equipment. Install a narrow cabinet near the oven for baking sheets and cooling racks. Add a deeper drawer that’s easy to access to simplify your organization. Remodeling contractors are usually up-to-date on the latest trends, so they should be your first stop when including storage in the kitchen’s design.
