When undergoing a kitchen renovation, you have a lot of choices to make. There’s countless decisions in the designing process, picking the materials, and making the overall look come together. Making everything look nice is great, but what happens when you actually use the space? You want to make sure that your kitchen functions properly for you and your family.
Here are some kitchen renovations that can add functionality, from Genesis Kitchens & Design in Vancouver.
Custom cabinets
Kitchen renovations give you the opportunity to add your own personal touches to the space. One thing you can add to tailor-make your own kitchen is custom cabinetry. Including cabinets that you choose the design to makes sure that everything has a purpose. Each cabinet will serve its own particular use, and no space will be left unused. This can be done by putting shelves in a certain way, including a pantry component, or the addition of more upper and lower cabinets.
Adding an island
Adding an island to a kitchen can be very beneficial. This may depend on the size of the kitchen space, but if your space allows it, it’s something that can be considered. An island’s design can add to the look of your kitchen but has plenty of features to make the space more functional. Not only does it allow for more cabinets and storage, but it gives you extra space to prep meals. As well, depending on the kitchen’s layout already, you could include a sink or dishwasher to utilize the space further.
Adding an eating space
Though a dining room may be a more traditional place to eat, adding a place to eat in the kitchen can be very functional. It can be used for more casual eats, or to encourage people to stay in the kitchen by providing them a place to sit. This can be done in many ways. One way to do this is by adding bar-stools alongside a counter to match the style of your kitchen. Another thing you can do is the addition of a breakfast bar, by having a small table with built-in seating. No matter what you choose for your additional eating area, this will make your kitchen a more welcoming space, or provide extra places to eat for family, friends, and guests.
