What makes a great kitchen remodel ?

Upgrading or improving your kitchen is one of the best things you can do for yourself and your home. Not all kitchens were designed originally for efficiency or style.

If you hate preparing food or cleaning up in your kitchen, that is a clue that it is time to upgrade that space to make it more user-friendly.

Kitchens should be designed first of all, so that the space between the stove, refrigerator and sink are within a few steps of each other – this is called the work triangle. Movement is minimized so you can access all the key elements of the kitchen in as few steps as possible.

Then the appliances should be right for the kind of cooking you do.

A relatively new kitchen element is undercabinet lights. You will love this feature, as it upgrades light without over-lighting the room. It eliminates dark corners on the countertop.

Storage is often listed as a serious need to upgrade. What you want in storage might not match what another person considers useful. Be sure to research what is out there, the costs, and compare the space available for your desired upgrades.
