Designers have many secret strategies to turn a common kitchen into a luxurious space you would find on Pinterest. Consider the following tips that will turn your kitchen remodel into an instant success in both beauty and function.

 

 

Invest In Cabinetry If your cabinets are not falling apart at the hinges, it may be tempting just to refinish or repaint them. However, your cabinets are the foundation of your kitchen that will last for many years long after other details expire. They are definitely worth the investment.

 

Tall Cabinets Speaking of cabinets, it’s best to go with taller cabinets as opposed to shorter ones. Tall cabinets provide more storage space and help extend the height of your kitchen, which can help make your kitchen appear larger and more open.

 

 

Organized Storage Whether it’s pull-outs trash can, roll-out shelves for pots, built-in silverware drawers, or secret spice racks, it’s best to incorporate as much practical storage into your cabinets and pantry. Organized storage gives each item a place to store so everything is exactly where you need it when you need it.

 

Refrigerator Side Panel You can still have a built-in look even if a built-in refrigerator isn’t in your budget right now. All it takes is simply adding a side panel that matches your cabinetry to the side of your refrigerator. This makes the refrigerator appear custom-designed specifically for your kitchen.

 

 

A Second Sink A second sink instantly creates functionality especially if you love to entertain. By having one sink dedicated to dishes and the other to meal prep, you can efficiently host a dinner without any interruptions. Plus a second helper can step in to do the dishes while you continue hosting.

 

Flush Countertop Believe it or not, not everyone opts for a countertop overhang. While an overhang can protect cabinet faces from spills, the flush look truly accentuates the transitional, sleek design. And really, spills should be cleaned up right away anywhere in the kitchen to not cause damage.

 

 

Task Lighting It doesn’t matter the size of your kitchen or how much natural lighting it gets, by nightfall your kitchen relies on the light fixtures. There’s nothing worse than not easily seeing the food prep task in front of you. Task lighting, usually in the form of under-cabinet lights or recessed lights, illuminates the countertop and makes lighting easy on the eyes.

 

Give The Hood Some Space There’s actually a mathematical formula to give your canopy hood the proper space to help it stand out without wasting space. Instead of having your upper cabinets butt right up to the sides of your hood, give a few inches of space so it doesn’t look overcrowded.
