3 Things to Consider Before Creating Your Dream Kitchen
Creating a dream kitchen is not only one of the most exciting projects a homeowner can do, but it’s also one of the most rewarding.
Two important things to consider before you tackle this project are functionality and style. On one hand, your kitchen should be a place where you can easily store, cook, and accommodate. On another hand, it should also be an extension of your personal style and tie in smoothly with the other areas of your home. Combining those two facets together will not only allow you to use your kitchen to its fullest potential, but also feel even more at home.
Creating the best kitchen for you is a homeowner’s dream—So it’s important to carefully consider the project before making any moves. In fact, a 2022 survey found that the biggest home deal-breaker for American homebuyers was a lack of a dream kitchen—So make sure you’ve thoroughly thought out the project before making the first move.
Below are 3 things to consider before creating your dream kitchen. Happy renovating!
The balance of personal style and timelessness
Your kitchen should feel like an extension of you, but while walls can get repainted relatively easily by a new buyer, many kitchen features are here to stay until the next remodel. Consider adding elements of a timeless kitchen in order to increase home value.
Countertop space
Countertop space is one of the most important things a kitchen can have. Before compromising on countertop space, think about your current kitchen. Are you unsatisfied with the space you have now? Do you often find yourself wishing for more room? If the answers are yes, consider adding an island or extending the additional countertops. You will be thanking me in the end!
Creating functionality
Yes, design is important, but the kitchen is one of those areas that needs to be functional too. Consider adding extra cabinet space, accessible trash and recycling areas, a built in cutting board, or maybe an extra shelf to store your fav mugs. Functionality is the baseline, and you should always consider it when adding any new item to your kitchen.
