Ideas and tips for small kitchen remodeling;
-When it comes to kitchen remodeling, there are several things you need to consider even before acquiring the services of a professional contractor, or making or making appliance selection.
Whether you design the kitchen yourself, work with a kitchen remodeling contractor or home center, formulating a plan will be the first step.
The first kitchen remodeling tip is to consider the three basic kitchen functions. Ease of movement and convenient layout of the kitchen design is important. The classic work triangle should be the basis of the floor plan.
The kitchen sink, refrigerator, and stove, as the three kitchen features used most often, should be arranged in a triangle pattern. The work triangle concept saves unnecessary steps when preparing foods, and proves the most convenient layout design.
Another kitchen remodeling idea is to incorporate more than one work center so that more than one person can work efficiently in the kitchen at one time. A self-standing chopping block, service island, or other similar kitchen feature will increase convenient work space.
Even when space is very limited, an extra work area can be created by separating the microwave oven and stove. Provide free counter space at the other end of the kitchen where a cutting board could be placed for food preparation. Enabling the second person to help with mealtime preparation without the two people getting in each others way.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS;
-Other considerations for small kitchen remodeling include space-saving built-in appliances whenever possible. Also consider appliances that not only save space, but increase convenience as well: a trash compactor, garbage disposal, and dishwasher, for instance.
Moderately-priced sheet vinyl is the most popular flooring for a kitchen; wood floors and ceramic tile although more pricey are good choices. A qualified, licensed kitchen remodeling contractor is your best resource for expert advice on which type flooring and appliances best suit your budget and space requirements.
Whatever the choice in finish materials, keep room functionality, convenience, and ease of movement in mind when making your selection.
