How Pro Remodelers Address Common Kitchen Design Problems



The kitchen is one of the busiest places in almost every home. Sadly, not all kitchens are designed and built to make them convenient to use. These “problem kitchens” can be the result of outdated or poor design quality, worn-out materials and many other factors. But when you work with the right contractor, a kitchen remodel can resolve all of these issues! 

Here are some recommendations from DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Elizabethtown to address kitchen design problems.

Common Problems

Not Enough Counter Space

When allocating your countertop space, you’ll have work zones, appliances and even gathering zones to consider. Your countertop also plays a major part in the kitchen workflow as most of the food preparation happens here. When planning your kitchen remodel, consider how you currently use or intend to use your countertops so that you can discuss with your contractor how much space you need.

Poor Layout & Workflow

One of the biggest reasons kitchen renovations are done is to make prepping, washing and cooking more efficient. A properly designed layout is crucial when it comes to a successful kitchen renovation. If you think your current layout isn’t catering to your lifestyle and other specific needs, it’s time to consider a full kitchen remodel, which can be worth the investment — especially if the layout and workflow are designed to meet your preferences.

Worn-Out Surfaces & Materials

If you find that your kitchen’s flooring and other surfaces are a bit outdated, then you may want to consider a remodel. An old backsplash, cabinets and countertops can affect its overall appeal, regardless of whether you want to entertain your family and friends or sell your home later on. 

Inadequate Storage

This is another common problem that’s often caused by inexperienced contractors. Even smaller kitchen spaces can have adequate storage with the right planning and design. Just make sure that you work with an experienced contractor who knows how to make use of all unused space in your kitchen with pull-out shelving and other innovative storage solutions.
