Maximize Your Kitchen Space with These Remodeling Ideas

There are a lot of things happening in the kitchen so you should make sure that when you remodel it, you plan it out in a way that it has ample space for everyone to do any activity. Some people spend a lot of time in the kitchen because they find cooking food relaxing. Some people spend time there to bond with other people over drinks and food on the countertop. However, not everyone is gifted with a huge kitchen space. Therefore, if you want to maximize the space in your small kitchen, here are some remodeling tips before you contact your designer and contractor in Clarkston.

Let the natural light in

If you want to make your kitchen look bigger, then one trick you can do is to increase the natural light coming in it. One way to do it is to tell your contractor to put huge windows in your kitchen. You can also try avoiding putting thick draperies on your windows to avoid covering the natural light and preventing it from coming in.Aside from natural light, it is also best to keep the kitchen well-lit to have an illusion of wide space. If you can install a pendant then do so. If you don’t have a kitchen island to put one in, simply put it above the sink. This provides another level of lighting in your kitchen.It is also recommended to install sconces. If possible, you should also put flush lighting on the ceiling to add to an overall brightness in your kitchen.

Add accessories with a purpose

If you have a small space in the kitchen, then you should think carefully before adding any accessories in it. Make sure to add accessories with function and not just for aesthetic purposes. You can maximize the space by putting away accessories that you don’t use like your blender, toaster, mixer, and other kitchen appliances. Keep in mind that having less clutter will make you feel like you have a lot of space in your kitchen.In a way, you can put accessories that are both functional and aesthetic. Then, you can make sure that your accessories make the space beautiful but with a purpose. For instance, you can get cutleries that look good so they offer both form and function.

Take advantage of going big on the design

Don’t think that because your space is tiny is that you can’t go big on the design. You should pay attention to every detail and make sure you take advantage of the design. If you think well in every aspect of the design, then it can go a long, long way.

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!
