3 Common Kitchen Problems That Can Be Solved With a Remodel



To many homeowners, the kitchen is the heart and soul of their home. Unfortunately, “problem kitchens” are all too common and can be a result of poor design, lack of functionality or simply an outdated appearance. The good news is that these problems can usually be solved by a home remodel. To give you a better idea of what we mean, we discuss three common kitchen problems that any skilled remodeling company can fix.

Problem #1: Not Enough Storage

This is a problem that we see a lot. Not having enough storage space can lead to clutter and make your kitchen look cramped. Even if you have a relatively small kitchen, smart storage solutions can be achieved with the help of a skilled remodeler. Kitchen shelving units that can be easily pulled out can make use of otherwise wasted space. Other clever storage options, such as hidden spice racks and cabinets or drawers with more generous space for pots and pans, are also readily available.

Problem #2: Poor Layout or Workflow

Your kitchen should be designed with your specific needs in mind. If the layout isn’t conducive to your workflow, then it can definitely keep you from making full use of it and rob you of your enjoyment of cooking. If this is the case, work closely with your kitchen renovation company and let them know about your kitchen habits. While the traditional kitchen triangle works for many applications, consider defining separate areas or zones for prepping, washing and cooking for a more efficient design.

Problem #3: Not Enough Counter Space

This is another issue many homeowners face. It can be difficult to find a spot for essential appliances such as your coffee maker, stand mixer and toaster while still having enough space to do your prep work. If you’re looking to expand your countertop, it is important to think about all the ways that you intend to use it. For instance, you may want an area where family members can sit and chat with you while you cook. Relay this information to your contractor so they can come up with the right plan.
