Things to Consider When Redesigning Your Kitchen – a Travelers Perspective
Things I’ve Noticed About Kitchens from Around the World
I’ve spent a lot of time in AirBNB’s as well as other peoples homes during my travels. Here are a few of the tips I’ve picked up along the way for those of you who want to make your kitchen great for visitors or even just yourself.
So, do you want to redesign your kitchen? If yes, here are the top 5 things you will need to ask yourself before engaging in this beautiful exercise.
Are You Listing Or Loving Your Kitchen?
This is a very important question you need to ask yourself. Unless you have it in mind to sell your house within the next 12-24 months, any rehabilitation project you are doing on your kitchen could be considered as something you are doing for your personal reasons.
Then if you are listing, be strongly advised that most buyers are more interested in the condition of your kitchen roof than the type of counters in your kitchen. There is nothing absolutely wrong to beautify your kitchen whether you want to sell your house or not.
But if you have the intention of selling it any time soon, then you have to beautify it in a way that people will have no option than to buy your home. Beautifying your kitchen for the purpose of reselling it will surely increase the value of your home.
Don’t Put Cheap Cabinetry
Your kitchen deserves majestic cabinetry, so putting on cheap or inexpensive cabinetry is not the right way to go. In fact, I spoke with some of the best kitchen fitters Milton Keynes (in the UK), and they believe that having the right cabinetry in your kitchen is the most innovative investment you can make because you use your cabinets every single day.
Invest In Quality Kitchen Appliances
The major kitchen appliances include your refrigerator, your range, and your dishwasher. The range in particular should be a hefty investment that you don’t skimp on. You are going to cook every single meal at it so you don’t want to choose a cheap model that’s going to be annoying you at every turn.
Hire a Professional Contractor
To get a kitchen with modern looks requires hiring the right contractor. In fact, it would be catastrophic to hire a contractor that doesn’t know how to do the job. If you have friends and family members who have awesome kitchens, feel free to ask them to tell you the contractor that did the job for them, and if possible hire such contractors.
Is Your Kitchen Highly Functional and Trendy?
A functional and trendy kitchen is a beauty to behold. In your kitchen, everything should have its rightful place. Take an inventory of all the items in your kitchen and store each item in the appropriate place. Use dividers to keep each item in a separate form.
Follow the tips laid out in this guide and you’ll be sure to have a smooth and pleasing kitchen design.
