Super Practical Ideas When Remodeling Your Kitchen

When remodeling your kitchen, you should realize that there are a lot of factors to consider before heading to your designer and contractor from Livonia. Therefore, it is important to plan it well with your designer and contractor so you will have a kitchen that provides ample space to get the work done while it allows you to socialize with other family members and your guests. To start off, here are some super practical ideas for your remodeled kitchen.

1.Lead traffic away from your kitchen triangle

Your kitchen triangle is the busiest part of the kitchen. The triangle is composed of the sink, fridge, and stove. If you are preparing food and don’t want to hamper the preparation but still want to socialize with other people, you should make sure that you lead traffic away from your triangle. If you plan to have a kitchen island, then tell your contractor to install seats across this area. Make sure that you have at least 5 feet of clearance to have ample space to move around.

2.Install your appliances in a way that they look built-in

For a contemporary touch of your kitchen, ask your contractor if they can install your appliances so that they look built-in. An experienced contractor knows how to make this happen, so get your installation service from an expert.

3.Make sure to have ample space around your appliances

If you want to make working in the kitchen efficient and safe, then you should make sure that you have enough space around your appliances. For instance, you should not install your stove in the corner because that will make it difficult to turn your pots and pans. Moreover, this can also be hazardous in the kitchen. It is best to install your stove in the middle like in a kitchen island to have sufficient space. When it comes to your refrigerator, make sure to install it in an area where there is landing space. Make sure that the refrigerator door has enough space to open and close it easily.

4.Before finalizing the design, finalize your appliances

It is easier to work with a design where you have already chosen the appliances that match your requirements. However, don’t buy them yet because you might make minor changes in the design along the way. Still, it is better to have the right appliances in mind before you build the cabinets and install the other fixed elements.

5.Consider the size of your appliances

It is difficult to have large appliances, especially if you have a small space in the kitchen. Set your priorities straight to choose the best appliances that fit your kitchen.

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!
