Today’s kitchens are the heart of the home; they’re the place where families spend the most time together, sharing meals and generally hanging out throughout the day as meals are prepared and shared.
If you have a smaller kitchen space, it doesn’t have to be limiting! A thoughtful Upland kitchen remodel can maximize your space while potentially increasing the selling price of your home. If you’re thinking of remodeling your kitchen to increase usage of your space, check out the following tips for optimizing your kitchen’s functional space from Upland’s premier home remodeler, Herb.
TRIANGULATE YOUR KITCHEN WORK SPACE
By creating a triangle between your stove, your sink, and your refrigerator, you can maximize your work flow. The legs of your triangle should be no less than four and no greater than nine feet respectively, with the total distance of the triangle to range between 13 to 26 feet. By creating a flow between the legs of the triangle that feels natural to you, you’ll enhance your living experience. And if room permits, you may even try to add another triangle.
ENHANCE FUNCTION WITH SHELVING AND STORAGE
Opt for shelving that’s unique to your kitchen and makes the best use of natural lighting. Consider shelving that can be accessed from both sides or a creative unit that’s custom built into a wall or above your counter space. Create functional storage, such as high cabinets for rarely used gadgets or a crockery drawer for various sized dishes.
BE CHOOSY WITH CABINET HARDWARE
When working with tight kitchen spaces, choosing the right cabinet hardware can be helpful. Heavy knobs or pulls will negatively impact the look and feel of your space, and streamlined cabinets in smaller spaces can prevent cabinet hardware from getting in your way.
