re you thinking about renovating your kitchen?

You're not the only one! In 2019, over 27% of Canadian respondents said in a survey that they had remodeled their kitchen. 

While there are so many benefits to doing a house renovation to have a beautiful kitchen, you want to avoid these kitchen renovations mistakes while doing it.

Don't Forget About the Work Triangle

You may not even know what this is, but if you messed it up, you would definitely be annoyed by it.

The work triangle is the workspace that you have between the sink, the stove, and the refrigerator. In reality, this is where most of the work is done in the kitchen. 

When renovating your kitchen, make sure that these elements of the kitchen stay in the right areas for your workflow.

Research Dishwashers Before Getting One

Before you install a new dishwasher, you need to do some research. Not all dishwashers work the same, and some can be very loud.

To avoid a loud dishwasher or one that takes much longer than you would hope for, do the research and homework before you get it.

Don't Forget to Focus on Lighting

When remodeling your kitchen, you want to focus on the lighting first and foremost. There's nothing worse than trying to cook something and not being able to see what you are doing.

For starters, make sure the lights are bright enough in the kitchen.

You should also make sure that if you have a bar area, the lighting there should be different than just ceiling lighting. This separates the seating area from the cooking area. Pendant lighting looks great in this area!

Don't Skimp on Counter Space

Whether you are simply in the kitchen to cook dinner for your family or if you are in there to bake constantly, cook constantly, and entertain, you want to make sure you have enough counter space.

Skimping on this will cause a hassle in the long run.

Choose Your Backsplash Wisely

When choosing a backsplash, you want to make sure you choose one that has enough in stock to build your wall. You also may want to work with a designer to make sure that the style of the backsplash works and doesn't look silly.

Don't Forget About Storage

When remodeling your kitchen, it can be easy to think about how to make a beautiful kitchen and forget about storage.

That's the last thing you want to do because if you don't have enough storage, there's nowhere to put all of your kitchen appliances or dishware! That would make for an extremely unorganized space.
