How to Improve the Function of Your Kitchen

Kitchen Remodeling Feb 16

The functionality of your kitchen can have a major impact on the amount of use, enjoyment and time that you spend in it. If the room is not functional there are a number of things that you can do to enhance the space including: updating the layout, improving the storage space, upgrading the appliances to newer models, changing the lighting fixtures, and making use of the vertical wall space in the room. If you’re currently struggling to maneuver in your home, continue on to the article below for an outline of the most important ways kitchen remodeling in Livonia will improve its function today.

Update the Layout

The most important factor to consider when enhancing the functionality of a space is the layout of the room. The layout can have a dramatic impact on how easy it is to maneuver throughout the space and make use of the areas in it. If the room happens to be cramped, narrow or inaccessible, then it impacts the ability for homeowners to access the appliances and cupboards while cooking. This tends to lead to increased discomfort, added stress, and frustration for homeowners as they try to prepare meals. Rather than continue to suffer these consequences, owners should consider changing the layout of the room by speaking to a professional. To change the layout of a room, owners should begin by having the specialist visit the home to assess its current design. Based off this assessment they will be able to suggest improvements that make better use of the available space.

Improve the Storage Space

A common frustration that homeowners face is a lack of storage in their home. When owners suffer from a lack of storage it can make it difficult to easily locate things and result in wasted time. Being unable to easily tuck unused items out of sight causes a home to look crowded and unkempt. However, this disorganization can be prevented by simply upgrading the storage in the space. Owners should consider adding additional features such as: cupboards, hanging racks, shelves, or cabinets to hide their items. Additionally, owners can enhance their current systems by simply adding interior hooks, shelving or rollout features.

Replace Appliances

Owners that want to improve the function of their space should consider upgrading their current appliances to newer models. Updating their appliances can help to improve on their efficiency given the advanced technology that newer models will have. Further, the majority of newer designs come in sleek styles that are significantly smaller when compared to their older counterparts.All of the above upgrade ideas can be easily installed by kitchen remodeling contractors in Livonia. Professionals know how to bring a kitchen design to life with a minimum of disruption, so that soon the space will take on a whole new functionality and beauty. Homeowners are encouraged to contact their Livonia kitchen remodelers today for a free estimate and assessment.

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!
