Planning Kitchen Remodeling

Tips to consider

Whether you're planning a new kitchen or kitchen remodeling, here are some tips for a functional, stylish and affordable kitchen.

(1) Support cabinets on legs to give your entire kitchen a lighter feel and to facilitate cleaning.

(2) Combine 2 different finishes for cabinet doors to break up the kitchen design. This can also help as a coded guide to the different contents of the cabinets and drawers.

(3) Leave one of the kitchen cabinets without a door. This makes a useful shelf for cookery books and knick knacks. It is also visually interesting.

(4) Add a custom-made side panel to match your choice of cabinet doors for a kitchen that is beautiful from all angles.

(5) An open metal shelf over the sink provides practical storage for frequently used items. It also make a great drying spot to let previously washed dishes drip into the sink below.

(6) Spaces at the end of your worktop can be used to mount a hanging-rail for hand towels, oven gloves or other accessories.

(7) Use a kitchen trolley as a valuable assitant, to bring prepared dished to the dining area. Its spacious drawer can hold all cutleries you need to lay the table.

(8) Install strategically-placed spotlights under wall cabinets to change the mood and colour tone of your kitchen. Your fine dining ware and glassware will gleam in such lightings.

(9) Choose drawer hinges that are smooth and self-closing.

(10) Grow your own mini herb garden and infuse your kitchen with its fresh aroma. Use the space in the window shelf for the pots of herbs.
