Renovating your kitchen will add ease to your lifestyle and value to your Burlington home. Here are some thing to consider when you upgrade your kitchen.
USE QUALITY MATERIALS. Top quality drawer slides and hinges mean cabinet doors will stay closed and drawers won’t stick.
DETERMINE CABINET HEIGHTS. If you only have 8 foot ceilings, you need the cabinets that go to the ceiling. They offer more storage, enabling you to use extra wall space. If your ceilings are higher than 8 feet, leave 15-18 inches above the cabinets.
DECIDE WHETHER TO PAINT OR STAIN. Brush-painted cabinets can lend a unique personality.
SELECT AN ELEGANT COUNTERTOP. White carrara marble and stained wood add elegance and warmth.
INSTALL AN ISLAND THAT WORKS. Placing bulky cube in the middle of the kitchen can be really tricky and will leave you a small looking kitchen. We like islands that have an open, airy look. Island should be unencumbered by appliances, but if you want it to house a dishwasher-sink combo or a cooktop, try to maintain the light look of leggy harvest table.
DON’T OVERDO THE DETAILS. Pediments over stoves and plaster mouldings on cabinet fronts design accents can represent decorative excess.
AVOID MAINTENANCE NIGHTMARES. Smooth surfaces in light colours, such as white laminate counters or ceramic floors, are easy to clean but show everything.
STICK TO BASIC APPLIANCES. Consider only selecting a few reliable basics like a commercial-quality stainless-steel range. It will make an interesting focal point and takes up less space than separate wall ovens and a cooktop.
