Are you getting ready to remodel your kitchen? Here are some important things to consider when making choices on design and features:

1. Choose new appliances wisely. When selecting new appliances, there are many factors to consider. First, make sure the appliances are compatible with your kitchen design and existing dishes/cookware. It’s also important to consider your size and storage needs, as well as the energy and ventilation requirements associated with different appliance models.

2. Consider maintenance needs. Different products have different needs when it comes to ongoing maintenance. One example is stone countertops, which require continuous sealing to perform optimally. Make sure you’re willing to keep up with the necessary maintenance for the products you choose.

3. Utilize your space. Whether you’re maximizing storage capacity with new cabinetry or adding a closet pantry, improving your kitchen’s use of space can make it more functional and comfortable.

4. Minimize unnecessary clutter. Even with augmented storage space, it’s a good idea to consider how much cookware you actually need. Most people tend to use a few key pieces of ware on a regular basis, which means much of it gets used less than once a year.

5. Express yourself. Many homeowners are preoccupied with increasing the resale value of their homes, but it’s equally important to create a kitchen that reflects your personality, so don’t be afraid to have fun with it.
