Common Kitchen Remodel Mistakes to Avoid
Remodeling your kitchen is no easy task. There are so many decisions to be made and things to consider, but if you want the job done right, it's worth it. Here are some of the most common mistakes homeowners make during a kitchen remodel project and how to avoid them.
Not planning ahead
One of the most common kitchen remodeling mistakes is not planning ahead. This can lead to costly changes down the road and a lot of frustration. Make sure you have a clear idea of what you want your new kitchen to look like and how it will function before you start demolition.
Not ordering samples
Another common mistake is not ordering samples of materials before making decisions. This can lead to headaches down the road when you realize you don't like the color or finish of a particular material after it's been installed. Samples are cheap and easy to order, so there's no reason not to take advantage of them.
Being indecisive
A third common mistake is being indecisive. This can lead to a kitchen that's not quite right and isn't functional for your needs. Make decisions quickly and stick to them to avoid this problem.
Forgetting about the details
The details are often what make or break a kitchen remodel project. So, make sure you pay attention to things like cabinet hardware, lighting, and countertop edges. These small details can make a big difference in your new kitchen's overall look and feel.
Skimping on storage and appliances
Storage and appliances are some of the most essential items in your kitchen, so don't skimp on them. Later, this can cause problems when you realize your new cabinets aren't large enough for your dishes or the oven doesn't fit the casserole dish you love to make.
Overdesigning
Designing a custom kitchen can be tricky. Make sure you don't overdesign your new kitchen since this can add unnecessary costs to the project and result in a not quite functional room.
Picking the wrong size
Another common mistake is choosing the wrong size for your new kitchen. This could make it difficult to use appliances, store things, and move around comfortably. Measure twice and hire a professional to help you choose a size that works best for you.
Choosing appliances last
Finally, make sure you don't choose appliances last. If you do, it will be difficult to find the exact model and size that works best for your new kitchen. Choose appliances early on in the process so you can accurately match them up with your design needs.
