Small Kitchen Renovation Must Have's
Do you have a small kitchen that isn't functional? Incorporate these small kitchen renovation ideas to renovate and transform your small and impractical kitchen into one that feels large, bright and has a feeling of space.
1. Start with a functional layout. In most cases, there isn't much changes that can be done in an already small space, but consider removing any walls or half-walls that may be blocking the flow of the space.
2. Maximize storage capacity. Having adequate storage in a small kitchen is one of the most important things to a home owner. There are many ways to remedy no storage issue in a small kitchen by adapting the size of cabinets. For instance, removing bulkheads to allow for extended height upper cabinets to be installed is a great option to extend the storage capacity. Also, floor-to-ceiling cabinets are an excellent addition to include in your small kitchen renovation to use as a pantry, or even hide the laundry unit.
3. Quality kitchen finishes. It's important to carefully select the materials for your counters to ensure it's durable and hassle free. We often recommend hard surface counters like quartz or granite. Quartz counters are an economical and fuss-free alternative to consider. In terms of cabinetry and colour scheme, a monochromatic, classic style for finishes is a good idea to keep the design clean and polished.
4. Multifunctional inclusions. In a small kitchen renovation, inclusions that have many purposes is always a good idea. For example, kitchen islands can be useful in a small kitchen as they provide the opportunity to install cabinets that are accessible on either side. Use tall floor-to-ceiling pantry cabinets that offer the opportunity to house plumbed coffee machines or microwave ovens.
