Five Optional Kitchen Accessories to Consider Before Your Next Remodel

Kitchen Remodeling Jul 24

Modern Accessories

Many designers in Livonia MI are now using old world finishes during kitchen renovation projects. The patterns are popular because they blend well with modern innovations. Counters that have marble surfaces with beveled details are trendy. The unique edges give the counters a vintage look.

Commercial-Grade Accessories

If you want to remodel a kitchen for business purposes, several things must be considered. First, you must determine your business goals. Then, create a menu and figure out which equipment will be needed to prep specific dishes. To avoid problems down the road, you must:

  • Choose a range that has easy-to-use features.
  • Buy equipment that cooks food quickly while using less energy.

Eco-Friendly Lighting

Eco-friendly light bulbs should be placed throughout the home because they use less energy than traditional bulbs. Although LED bulbs are pricey, they can help you save around $125 annually. If you prefer a more affordable options, a CFL bulb should be considered since it only costs $1.25. However, CFL bulbs are not as efficient as LED bulbs. Also, most CFL bulbs don’t have a dimming feature.During a kitchen remodeling project, certain light fixtures must be installed in specific locations. Near the cabinets, use recessed lights or ceiling fixtures. Over the island, install several lamps that have dimming features.

New Faucet

If your current kitchen faucet is old and dull, consider replacing it with a newer, more innovative fixture. While shopping, you must consider the number of holes that are required during the installation and the number of handles.Many sinks are manufactured with various mounting holes. If you want to keep your current sink, you must choose a faucet that has a base plate that matches the holes. Drilling extra holes into your existing sink is not a good idea because you may chip or crack the surfaces.Typically, single handles are easier to install and use. The process of installing a faucet with two handles can be a bit challenging. Both handles must be mounted properly on a single base plate. If you need a sprayer, you must install it separately.

Affordable Countertops

Granite is a beautiful material that is manufactured in different patterns and colors. If you need a counter that can handle heat and knife nicks, granite should be considered. You should not buy a granite counter if you don't want to spend money on sealant to prevent stains.A solid surface counter cleans easily because it is nonporous. Whenever the surfaces are burn or scratch, but the blemishes can be buffed away with sandpaper. A solid surface counter is not a good option if you need a counter that does not look artificialKitchen remodeling projects need additional accessories because they make dull spaces stand out.

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!
