Simple Tips When Your Kitchen Needs a Facelift

Kitchen Remodeling Jun 12

Have you been living in the same home for many years now? Have you looked around and you think that your kitchen might need a remodeling? If so, get only the best kitchen remodeling service from a contractor in Utica if you want to have the most amazing new kitchen at home. In addition to finding the best contractor, here are simple tips when your kitchen needs a facelift.

1.Work with your contractor about the layout

Planning the layout is probably the most important part of remodeling your kitchen. Before you do anything else, you should determine how you want your new kitchen to look. You should design it in a way that provides ample working space while providing space to mingle with other people. Keep in mind that the kitchen is a family space, so make sure multiple people can fit comfortably in it. Make sure to have wide walkways so people can move around easily. Furthermore, there should be enough storage space in your kitchen.

2.Consider your budget

Now that you have finalized your layout with your contractor, you should take into consideration how much you are willing to spend for the kitchen remodeling. If your original plan is too expensive, find a workaround with your contractor to reduce the costs. Moreover, find good deals for kitchen appliances and grab them when you spot them.

3.Prioritize the kitchen island

If your new kitchen will have an island, make sure to prioritize it. Since it will be the center of the kitchen and will be in the spotlight, it should be designed well. You can put on the kitchen island the important elements, including the stovetop, sink, refrigerator, and storage. If you plan to entertain guests while making dinner, have seats installed on the kitchen island and create some sort of kitchen counter. For some people, the kitchen island is considered an area for gathering. People can gather in that area to help prepare a meal or simply mingle with the cook. It is important to have enough space around the kitchen island for people to move around.

4.Stick to a single-color palette

It is important to choose a light and neutral color palette for the kitchen. Use of different color palettes can be overwhelming and is not recommended. Pick a nice color palette and use that for your kitchen remodeling.

5.Serving the young ones

The new design of the kitchen should also consider how the young ones are served. Of course, safety is of the utmost importance when it comes to the kids. Keep dangerous items out of reach while keeping their favorite food items within their reach.

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!
