3 Reasons Why You Should Put More Emphasis on Kitchen Design

Kitchen Remodeling Mar 22

The kitchen is much more than a place to create and chow down on a meal. It's one of the most popular areas of your home. It's a spot where you and your family join together and cherish small and big moments. Not only that, but the kitchen aids to the flow of the other rooms of the house. A good designer will help you come up with the theme for your kitchen to help create more overall synergy. Here are a few reasons why the design portion is pivotal.

Helps You Figure Out What You Can Improve

The first thing to do is evaluate your current kitchen design. Maybe there are a few things you wish you had such as a scratch-resistant countertop. You may like your kitchen, but the scratches on the countertop makes it less appealing. Planning a course of things to improve with your design can get you more passionate about being in the kitchen. Also, think of how placement may help or hinder your movement. You might have to go get pots on the other side of the kitchen while your stove is somewhere else. When you're in a cooking mode, you want everything to be within arm’s reach. Convenience is what you want to look for in order to get the most out of the area.

More Convenient for Your Family to Use

A good design helps you give back to your family. When you free up more space in the kitchen, you can turn it into a second living room. Instead of going to a dining area or another room to eat, you can make this a social area as well. Set up a table and even get a tv in there so that everyone can convene all in one place. Not only that, you'll keep things tidier. Dishes will go right to the sink and paper items in the trash can. It'll help you and your family have more time together. Speak with your designer on how you can make the kitchen its own living room. Also, focus on the light design.

Better Lighting Means More Results

It can be quite a handful during the evening hours to cook or prepare something for the next day. Sure, during the day is fine because you have lots of natural light. However, you need the right light setup to cook during the winter season when outside gets darker earlier. Ask your designer for a light fixture that's not only bright but is energy efficient. This way you not only have something that looks great from a design standpoint, but you save money due to buying something that will reduce energy usage.When you remodel your home, think of how your kitchen plays a part in the whole project. This will add tremendous value to your livelihood and house.

Reviews

From start to finish Kurtis was a great company to work with. From the initial contact and design concept with Gregory Holster to the cabinet drop off team, the install team led by project manager Jeff Tuomi and the countertop company, the project was on time and all work was performed beyond expectations. This was greatly appreciated seeing as it was completed on December 23. All the people involved were professional and did an excellent job.

Shanna was our project consultant. Picking out cabinets along with counters can be somewhat overwhelming but her knowledge & experience helped us make the right decisions. Dylan & Juwan unloaded truck & Dylan check off ship ticket to make sure all boxes were accounted for. Courteous & pleasant to talk to…nice job of stacking everything neatly in our garage. We couldn't be more pleased with the service & so happy with our kitchen

We recently worked with Lauren on cabinetry for a master bathroom renovation. She was great to work on the design and selections. Lauren was efficient and responsive from cabinet selection through ordering. Our overall installation was smooth. We had some unforeseen circumstances impacting our ability to accept delivery of our cabinets on the initial agreed upon date. Kurtis was very accommodating in rescheduling delivery given our project challenges. We couldn't be happier with our cabinets for this project.

We had complete renovations to our kitchen and main bathroom. From start to finish, the design with Shanna was exactly what we asked for and Jeff stayed on top of the renovations, communicating each step of the way. Every worker was professional and the final product is elegant and functional. We were very happy with Kurtis and would choose Shanna and Jeff again.

We love our new kitchen! Kurtis Kitchen & Bath did an outstanding job, and Adrian at the Clarkston location was exceptional to work with—creative, patient, and really listened to what we wanted. The project was well-organized, and we went from demo to a fully functioning kitchen in just 30 days. Highly recommend!
