Top Reasons to Renovate Your Kitchen
The number one reason why homeowners in Medina, OH decide to
create a dream kitchen is that their existing kitchen does not work well or
meet their needs. We frequently hear from homeowners that their kitchens don’t
have enough storage capabilities, countertop space or cabinetry. Other common reasons are lack of
maneuverability, appearance and poor ventilation.
The role of the kitchen has been transformed since the
global pandemic. No longer does a
kitchen serve the basic functions of preparing and cooking meals. Kitchens need to serve multiple purposes from
classroom and office space to café and coffeeshop. These new requirements make having adequate storage
a more pressing necessity to help ensure clean, clutter-free workspaces. In
fact, the number one regret of homeowners in Medina, OH who have renovated
their kitchens is inadequate storage and not investing more in organizational
amenities. A well-designed kitchen is an
organized kitchen. That’s why we ask
homeowners in Northeast Ohio how they use their kitchen and for what purposes,
who uses the kitchen most often and when is it used? We want to know what homeowners
in Northeast Ohio like about their existing kitchens and what they want to
change? What needs to improve? What will make your kitchen the envy of your
neighborhood?
We help homeowners in Medina County maximize the space and
functionality of their kitchen by often specifying pull out corner cabinets
equipped with organizers that make pots, pans, small appliances and other
kitchen gadgets easily accessible. Homeowners
in Medina County with smaller kitchen footprints or who demand more
storage space appreciate the fact that drawers offer more storage space than
cabinets.
Another key to designing a kitchen that is not only
beautiful but meets the functional needs of homeowners in Northeast Ohio is to
create separate areas for preparing meals, cooking meals and storing
foodstuffs. That’s why a savvy and
professional kitchen designer wants to know who cooks, how often and for how
many. Knowing this information enables
the designer to create work areas to prevent family members from running into
one another in each area of the kitchen and to avoid placing items such as an
island in a place that will inhibit traffic flow.
We find poorly designed kitchens do not have adequate
countertop space next to or opposite the range or cooktop and/or refrigerator.
That’s why when designing a new kitchen, it is important to know how many
family members prepare meals in order to specify the right amount of countertop
space that allows more than one cook to work in the kitchen at the same time.
Proper positioning of appliances also contributes to traffic
flow in a well-designed kitchen. Many
homeowners in Northeast Ohio prefer dual ovens to be positioned horizontally
instead of vertically to prevent having to bend down to use one of the ovens. There also is a need to ensure there is
adequate space for doors of ovens, dishwashers, and refrigerators to open
freely so they don’t bump into anything.
Providing adequate room for recycling containers is another
essential in a well-designed kitchen that can be often overlooked. Container
size is dictated by how often the kitchen is used for cooking and for the
number of family members in the home.
Similarly, ventilation needs to be a priority, especially in
open floor plan kitchens that connect to other rooms in the home. The
ventilation solution should be capable of removing all odors, steam and grease
so it does not migrate to furniture, countertops, seating or other areas of
your home.
