Kitchen Design Style

It can be exciting and it can be frustrating! In addition to cabinet and hardware choices, new flooring or paint, a kitchen remodel takes planning. Do you know what is your kitchen design style? Here’s a few things to keep in mind when you’ve decided to renovate your kitchen.

Max suggests the following for your kitchen design style:

• Keep the classic “kitchen work triangle” in mind when designing your kitchen. The stove/oven, sink and refrigerator all need to be in a functional work space. You’ll feel more comfortable cooking in the kitchen when all of your appliances are within easy reach.
• Paths within the cooking zone should be 42 inches wide for a one cook kitchen and 48 inches wide for a kitchen with two cooks.
• To make cabinet doors fully functional, plan enough space for the door’s clearance in your kitchen design.
• Allow for counter space. About 15 inches on either side of a cook top and refrigerator gives ample work space.
• Tiling a backsplash adds color, texture and personality to a kitchen.
• When remodeling, add enough power sources for relocated or new appliances.
• Plan for storage. Do you have enough storage for things other than dishes, glasses, pots or pans?
• Complement your kitchen style with unique cabinet knobs and pulls.
