"Have you been thinking about a kitchen remodel and are not sure where to start? Or worse, overwhelmed just thinking about what it will entail and how disruptive it is going to be for your household? Then I hope that this article - less about styles and trends and more about the nuts and bolts of a kitchen remodel - will help."
"Functional layout We will start with the fun stuff: the broad outlines of kitchen design. Something we run into a lot are clients who are so set in their ways that they can't see the possibilities that a new layout and design will bring them. If we are struggling with where to put a pantry cabinet for example, they will say, "That's OK, we keep pantry goods at the bottom of the basement stairs, we will keep doing that." We think that's a big problem."
Prepare a realistic timeline and understand the scope before gutting a kitchen. Prioritize functional layout to make daily life easier and eliminate inefficient habits like offsite pantry storage. Favor timeless, practical elements over fleeting trends and engage a quality kitchen designer to narrow choices for cabinets, countertops, and hardware. Design the space around actual use, allowing for multiple cooks with secondary prep sinks, adequate spacing between prep, cooking, and cleaning stations, and warming or staging options. Include islands thoughtfully to support prep, storage, and social interaction.
