Common Kitchen Designing Mistakes

When it comes to remodeling and renovation, kitchens are the most popular areas that maximum people go for. Even when kitchen is the area where most of the daily activity goes, most people make mistakes when designing the kitchen. Here are some of the common mistakes that people make while designing kitchens –

• The biggest mistake that most of us make is that we do not properly utilize the storage space which we already have in the kitchen. There is ample of space over the sink and dishwasher, as well as below the oven which we do not utilize properly, making the kitchen look cramped. 
  
  
• A lot of kitchen designs do not link the three functional areas – stove, refrigerator and the sink. Anything that disrupts the free and direct flow between these three functional areas will result in loss of efficiency and lack of convenience. 
  
  
• Countertops add a style to your kitchen. However, some people focus too much on their decorative value rather than the functionality. Evaluate the workspace and then go for the best countertop design. Size of the kitchen, amount of space required, along with the budget are the deciding factors for the countertops. Further, do not ignore the appliances that will be placed on the countertops before selecting them.
  
  
• Installing a kitchen island is a good idea if you need additional storage space or if you have ample space in the kitchen. However, many people install a kitchen island, obstructing the free flow in the kitchen. If your kitchen is not wider than 13 feet, do not install a kitchen island.
• Not focusing on the lighting is another mistake that people make. Most of us go for overhead fixtures, ignoring the task lighting. Make sure to include dedicated light fixtures especially around the sink and stove.
