Renovating your kitchen? Here’s what you could use
Renovating a kitchen should be an exciting process! It’s an opportunity to give your home an upgraded space – one we assume you use quite often. But while you’re picking out cabinetry colours, appliances and flooring choices with the help of a kitchen renovator, there are a few things you may want to work into your plans.
Here are the top 5 kitchen must-haves you should consider before you finalize your upcoming kitchen renovation:
Kitchen Island
A kitchen island brings both style and functionality into the room in one piece. If you plan on entertaining in your kitchen, or you have a big family, then the island is an extra spot for you to place food or do your food preparation. Put chairs on one side of the island to invite guests and family to participate in the cooking process. Not only can an island facilitate conversation and entertaining, but it gives your kitchen extra storage space. Have your island built with cabinets and shelves. This way, you can store tabletop appliances to prevent cluttered countertops.
Under Cabinet Lighting
If you’re picking out a new backsplash for the kitchen renovation, why not show it off by having lights installed underneath the cabinets? This stylish accessory can easily brighten a room. From a practical standpoint, you can never have too much lighting in a kitchen. Under cabinet lighting will give you extra light as you’re doing meal prep and cleaning up. You can never be too cautious when it comes to safety.
Double Sink
Washing dishes in a single-bowl sink may be difficult. After all, what do you do with the dishes you’ve just washed and rinsed? Resting them on a towel on the countertop is one option, but a double-sink lets you wash the dishes in one bowl, and rinse in the second. The dish washer can even rest the dishes in the second bowl while working on the rest of the dirty dishes. A double sink adds functionality to any kitchen, for they enable you to wash and rinse with ease.
Pull-out Garbage & Recycling Station
Do you have a garbage bin under the sink? If you’re renovating your kitchen, consider having garbage and recycling bins built into a pull-out cabinet in the kitchen. It’s a great feature to have because the bins are hidden away in a cabinet. It’s also an easy way to separate both garbage and recycling if you’re thinking about the environment.
Open Shelving
If you love to cook and have amassed an impressive collection of recipe books, then consider putting them on display in your brand new kitchen. Have your kitchen renovator build open shelving into the kitchen design and put them on display. It’s visually appealing and will give you easy access to your books during the cooking process.
