Are you thinking about taking on a new home improvement project? If you're considering kitchen renovations, there are some common mistakes you could end up making. Of course one of the best decisions to make for home remodeling is to hire a professional but, in any case, make sure to avoid the common pitfalls mentioned in the video below.
Center Island Sizes
A center island needs to be large enough to be used well, but not too large for the space itself. Between three to ten feet wide is a good range to stay within.
The same can be said for between 26-48 inches deep.
Storage Space
Make sure to take measurements accordingly beforehand. This should include measurements for dishes or glasses, pots or pans, and a garbage bin. The video above mentions the best measurement ranges to aim for.
Range Hood
A range hood should be at least as wide as the cooktop below. Microwaves with adjoining fans below them are an option but do not work as well as range hoods.
Lighting
Lights from under the cabinet tend to work better for lighting than overhead lights. Make sure to consider lighting thoroughly when designing kitchen renovations.
Changing Your Mind
Of the different mistakes that can be made in home remodeling, the most costly may be changing your mind about different elements after you've already started. It can add about $1,500 to total kitchen remodeling costs.
