Not staying in your budget<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Not_thinking_about_workflow_or_function\"><\/span>1. Not thinking about workflow or function<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So many people are focused on having a gorgeous kitchen, and they forget that this room is mostly functional. This is a room where you will spend most of the time either eating, prepping food, or cleaning up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most essential places in your kitchen are your refrigerator, sink, and stove. The correct placement of these three essentials will make things easier to access. However, incorrectly placing these items will make a kitchen more of a hassle than needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many remodelers use the \u201c<a aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bestonlinecabinets.com\/blog\/the-kitchen-work-triangle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">golden kitchen triangle rule<\/a>,\u201d where the sink, refrigerator, and stove have clear paths to each other. If a counter or island is in the path of these points, it makes for unnecessary extra steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Great for your pedometer, not so much when dumping hot water from your stove to your sink.) As many people are familiar with the work triangle, this tends to be the most obvious mistake in kitchen remodeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Putting these points side-by-side against a wall makes for great pictures, but it&#8217;s also less efficient for movement. Remember that the kitchen is a three-dimensional space! Not all your appliances have to be on the same wall as they are on TV!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, think about where these points are in relation to your kitchen doors. Nothing is more annoying than getting smacked with a door while cooking spaghetti on the stove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Lacking_space_for_doors_or_drawers_to_open_fully\"><\/span>2. Lacking space for doors or drawers to open fully<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While we want to make the most of our storage space, we need convenient ways to access it. Cabinet drawers that open into each other can get irritating quickly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If items in the back are beyond your reach, look into solutions that allow them to come to you. Corner solutions, like installing a lazy susan, turntable disc, or even a magic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestonlinecabinets.com\/blog\/blind-corner-cabinet\/\" title=\"\">corner cabinet<\/a>, can maximize your space without needing to maximize your reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider that everywhere you have drawers, you need to account for the range of the fully extended drawer. Planning ahead of time will save a lot of headaches later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Picking_appliances_AFTER_your_remodel\"><\/span>3. Picking appliances AFTER your remodel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A mistake when building a kitchen is not accounting for the sizes of ovens and dishwashers you want in it. You definitely don\u2019t want to assume that there is a \u201cone-size fits all\u201d mentality to your appliances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Otherwise, you will need to remodel your kitchen, which is costly, or get a less-than-ideal appliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get the sizes of the appliances and let the contractors know how to accommodate them. Keep in mind that these sizes and spaces affect parts of your kitchen design, like countertops, backsplashes, and cabinet placement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plans should include spacing around the desired appliance and make it fit seamlessly in your new design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Not_having_enough_storage\"><\/span>4. Not having enough storage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Trust me when I say, \u201cYou can never have enough storage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need somewhere to store your pots, pans, dishes, cleaning supplies, and pantry goods. Otherwise, you will have to spend time making individual displays cohesive and decorative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It takes less mental energy to place them all behind a cabinet and not think about it twice. Other places to store your items are open shelving, countertops, and additional storage like baker\u2019s racks or wall hooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While these suggestions work to varying degrees, they all need constant maintenance to avoid looking messy. However, if that effort is worth your design aesthetic, more power to you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t go into this kitchen remodeling thinking that if you don\u2019t have enough storage space, you\u2019ll make it work.\u201d Think of remodeling as \u201chow do I make this room work for me?\u201d NOT \u201chow do I do more work?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_The_%E2%80%9CKitchen_Hawaii_problem%E2%80%9D_of_One_Big_Island\"><\/span>5. The \u201cKitchen Hawaii problem&#8221; of One Big Island<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In many kitchen designs, we see large islands to the point where we think they are necessary for our kitchens. Yet if we have a smaller space or it impedes our workflow, big islands may not be right for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are multiple alternatives to kitchen islands that homeowners can use. Some kitchens use rolling carts to serve as versatile surfaces wherever they are needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No rule says you cannot have two smaller islands based on your surface or cooking needs. You can take cues from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestonlinecabinets.com\/blog\/golden-girls-kitchen\/\" title=\"\">Golden Girls<\/a>, where they have an island stove surface and a baker\u2019s table with casters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another design alternative? If your kitchen allows, extend your countertop in an L-shape or U-shape. That extra counter space can serve as a dining nook for smaller kitchens or extra space for whatever you need!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having HUGE aisles is essential if you decide that a large kitchen island is right for you.&nbsp;You generally want between 42 and 48 inches of space from an island to the closest counter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will be a large enough space if you have too many cooks in the kitchen. You can get past each other while cooking without blocking the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Having_a_too_trendy_kitchen_just_to_be_trendy_rather_than_enjoy_it\"><\/span>6. Having a too trendy kitchen just to be trendy rather than enjoy it<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With social media active these days, some of our kitchen design inspirations come from Pinterest and Instagram. Some of us would love an Instagram-worthy kitchen with many likes and reposts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As much as some like to do things \u201cfor the gram,\u201d make sure it is a kitchen that you use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you enjoy constant remodeling every few years, that\u2019s one thing, but keeping up with trends that way gets expensive. Consider changing paintings, posters, and wall decorations instead of completely redoing backsplashes or countertop tiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also have the opposite problem: Being too safe and designing so minimally that the kitchen looks sterile and unused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the past couple of years, completely white monochromatic kitchens have been a trend in kitchen designs. This is great\u2026 until you have to use your kitchen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A kitchen is meant to be used, and in redesigning your kitchen, don\u2019t be afraid to express your own personality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Not_thinking_about_the_plumbing_or_using_water\"><\/span>7. Not thinking about the plumbing or using water<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since we don\u2019t see plumbing, most homeowners don\u2019t think about it unless it is a problem. We only think about kitchen sinks and dishwashers when they break, but considering them is important in your design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The placement of your sink and kitchen means considering plumbing when it comes to positioning and access to water. This is best left to a general contractor who can assess the cost and time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it is an investment, it is best to have options available to see if this is worth it, rather than dread over this kitchen remodeling mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Not_having_enough_lights_in_the_room\"><\/span>8. Not having enough lights in the room<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lights are a necessity in any room, but they are especially important in a kitchen when cooking for safety reasons. A trend is spare industrial lighting, which, again, looks great in pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I can&#8217;t imagine anyone who cooks will tell you they want less light in their kitchen, not more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might think all you have to do is change the brightness of the light bulb to get more light. While true, remodeling can determine the placement of the light to maximize illumination in that room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Multiple recessed lights can spread the light evenly in a room. A couple of fluorescent lights will provide adequate direct lighting in key places. Pendant lights are stylish but reminiscent of a bar setting, which tends to have dimmer light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideally, when you turn on the switch, there should be enough kitchen light to illuminate all your activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should have different lighting sources in your room: Overhead, spot, and accent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spot is for essential places where you are cooking, overhead for overall illumination, and accent as touches of decoration. These types of light brighten your kitchen and give you all the different lighting you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Not_enough_places_to_%E2%80%9CPlug_and_Play%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>9. Not enough places to \u201cPlug and Play.\u201d<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one of those pieces of advice that nearly everyone wishes they had never forgotten until it\u2019s too late:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you have enough power outlets installed in your kitchen. More than most places, the kitchen needs power outlets for small appliances and incidental items like phone chargers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure there\u2019s at least a couple on your countertop and that your backsplash area accommodates power outlets.&nbsp; Definitely make sure outlets are available for the larger appliances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like storage, you don\u2019t ever want to be short on outlets. While there are extension cords and outlet adapters, more outlets are more likely to make a cleaner counter space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Not_thinking_about_ventilation\"><\/span>10. Not thinking about ventilation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Vents are often an afterthought in many classic kitchens, and you don\u2019t think you need one until after using your kitchen. In fact, it\u2019s not unusual to be in a kitchen without an overhead vent for the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kitchens are prone to several smells, some pleasant, but others require ventilation to air out the room. If you have access to a window, this is an easy solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Otherwise, smells can get trapped in the kitchen and are forced to dissipate into other rooms. For example, if someone burns a fish and it gets everywhere, this can be horribly unpleasant in a smaller house or condo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_Wrong_materials_for_your_lifestyle\"><\/span>11. Wrong materials for your lifestyle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are surfaces that we think of as high-end, like marble or granite, that add sophistication and class to our kitchens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, how many of you know that fruit juice and wines can damage the stone because of their acidic content? Or does copper cookware require special cleaning methods, not just soap and water?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You must look at your lifestyle if you want luxurious materials that require special maintenance. Do you have kids, which means clean-up is necessary, or do you want to spend time maintaining those special materials?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want a more practical kitchen, go with more durable materials. Quartz or solid-surface materials based on resin and acrylic are strong choices for countertops. Before committing to materials, ALWAYS get samples to see if they look and feel right for your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Forgetting_about_trash_in_your_kitchen_design\"><\/span>12. Forgetting about trash in your kitchen design<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Trash is essential to kitchen design, but people consider it an afterthought. If you are content with putting a wastebasket beneath your sink, that is an option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there are trash cabinets that hide your rubbish and are easy to line with waste bags. Otherwise, a nice-looking trash bin can take up space on the kitchen floor until the trash is removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_Not_staying_in_your_budget\"><\/span>13. Not staying in your budget<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most important things in remodeling is your budget. You mustn\u2019t overspend, turning your dream kitchen into a financial nightmare, so here are some guidelines. This is an obvious kitchen remodeling mistake, but adding more and more is ever so tempting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cost of a kitchen remodel shouldn\u2019t exceed more than 20% of the value of your home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Allow some part of the budget to be a contingency if things go awry. At least 10% of the budget should be left for unexpected expenditures. It is recommended that kitchen cabinets make up 1\/3<sup>rd<\/sup> of your remodel budget.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gobankingrates.com\/investing\/real-estate\/11-expensive-home-remodeling-mistakes-avoid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"531\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bestonlinecabinets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/kitchen-remodel.jpg\" alt=\"Avoid these kitchen remodeling mistakes during your home makeover\" class=\"wp-image-6370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bestonlinecabinets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/kitchen-remodel.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.bestonlinecabinets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/kitchen-remodel-600x398.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.bestonlinecabinets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/kitchen-remodel-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bestonlinecabinets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/kitchen-remodel-696x462.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.bestonlinecabinets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/kitchen-remodel-633x420.jpg 633w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Being indecisive will kill your budget more than anything else.
