If you’re planning to renovate your kitchen then here are a few useful tips
Storage
You store a lot of items in kitchen – from food items, crockery to linen. It is important to make adequate space for each item so that the items can be found when you need them. The aim is to get a clutter-free environment. Make room for extra cabinets and the smaller articles so that you find them with ease.
Plumbing
Kitchen is the major consumer of water in the home. Hence, the plumbing around the sink should be checked for cracks and leaks regularly. Do not just seal them with adhesives. Replace the pipes because sooner or later the cracks will increase and you will have to overhaul the entire system, which will cost more money.
Easy to Clean Surfaces
The kitchen surfaces are especially prone to becoming grimy than the other areas of the house because of the emission of gas and use of oil in the kitchen. Hence countertops and cabinets should have smooth and easy cleaning surfaces.
Paint and Decor
The kitchen should have a cheerful ambience. Do not simply paint the walls grey just because they camouflage stains and smoke. The lady of the house spends most of the time in the kitchen, so place should be cheerful. Use delicate and small items to decorate the kitchen, without creating a clutter.
Ventilation
Kitchen should have adequate ventilation for the smoke and heat to escape. While renovating the kitchen, you may either install a kitchen chimney or change the position of the doors and windows accordingly.
Lighting
The kitchen should allow natural light in abundance to come in. Don’t forget that sunlight is a natural disinfectant that helps in keeping the kitchen hygienic. However, if that is not possible, install non- glaring lamps in key places like the cooking area or the work area.
Floor Space
