Tips to Have a Smoother and Happier Kitchen Renovation 

If you like other homeowners, you probably dream of having a kitchen with unblemished countertops, pristine flooring, and more than enough storage. You can make this possible when you renovate your kitchen. But the outcome of a home result can be beautiful, the project itself can be stressful. To ensure your renovation project goes smoothly and you have a happier experience, here are tips you can consider:

Install New Cabinets

In a lot of modern homes, kitchen storage is customised. If you think you will live in the house for a long time, you can customise your kitchen cabinets to ensure you can easily find the items you need. If you will sell the house in the future, get new cabinets that have more storage. Possible homebuyers today want a home with custom-built kitchen cabinets. By installing new cabinets, you can easily store food and bulky kitchen appliances, clearing your counter space. 

Alternatively, if you are happy with your current cabinets’ functionality and location, except for the finish colour, you can put the cabinets instead of getting new ones. This is labour-intensive and a doable DIY project. Even if you hire a painting professional, it is still more affordable than the cost of new custom cabinets.

Pick a Backsplash with a Character

Subway tiles provide a conventional look that can be laid vertically or arranged in a herringbone pattern. You can also consider tiny mosaic patterns; however, cleaning the grout lines can be tougher. 

Other options for your backsplash include metal, glass, mosaic, stone, or embossed ceramic. Ensure the material you use reflects your taste, is appealing, and is easy to maintain. 

Think About Quartz for Your Countertops

Quartz can resist stains, chips, and scratches. Also, it is durable and does not need sealing. It is available in various appearances that can mimic marble’s natural variegation. By installing quartz kitchen countertops, you get a strong, tough material that can last for decades no matter how busy your family may be. 

Invest in Good Kitchen Lighting

Your options for kitchen light fixtures include the following:

• Recessed ceiling fixtures. These fixtures are ideal for open floor space as they offer ambient light where your family members will stand and work. 
• Pendants or ceiling fixtures. Decorative pendants offer diffuse light without making shadows. They can brighten work zones such as sinks, peninsulas, and islands. 
• Under-cabinet lighting. This type of lighting fixture can offer task lighting over your countertops. Also, they can highlight your backsplash, countertop, and cabinetry.
