Let’s be realistic: most of life happens in the kitchen. It is where you make half -sleeping coffee, you experience with new recipes and somehow you finish during each meeting. But if it has become more frustrating than functional, it could be time to stop repairing problems and go to a complete transformation.
Are you not sure if you are really there yet? Here we show you how to know when it is time for a total remodeling of the kitchen, regardless of where you live, even if you are an owner in Berks County who seeks to make the most of your space.
How to know if your kitchen needs a review?
If it seems that you need a map and a strategy to make spaghetti, the flow of your kitchen probably needs rethinking. Then, let’s take a look at some warning signals to take into account:
1. You are fighting the design every day
If cooking dinner feels like a daily challenge, it’s probably not you, it’s more than likely your design. Kitchens with a poor workflow, limited counter space or appliances that are blocked can convert even quick meals into a nuisance. You may always meet someone while trying to make a sandwich, or the dishwasher door hits the oven every time you open it.
A complete review gives you the opportunity to rethink the configuration and create a design that really works according to the best practices of an efficient ‘work triangle’, soft, practical and easy to move.
2. Its storage is a disaster
Stack pots on the pans, crowd the spices in each corner available and fight with that drawer that always gets stuck … Does that sound familiar? When their cabinets overflow and nothing is easy to achieve, it is a clear sign that its storage is simply not cutting. A remodeling of the kitchen gives you the opportunity to fix it with intelligent and personalized solutions, such as extraction shelves, hidden drawers, pantry cabinets and a lot of space designed around how you really use your space.
3. Overdeted everything
Is it still laminated countertops of the 90s or those orange oak cabinets from the early 2000s? Aesthetics is important, not only for style and sensation, but for function. Older materials tend to be more difficult to clean, show their wear and simply do not offer the durability (or joy) of modern finishes. And if you have ever hesitated to share a kitchen photo because it does not reflect your tastes today, that could be your sign that it is time for an update that will be proud to show off.
4. Broken things are the norm
A dishwasher broken here, a flashing light there, a leaking tap with which you have “learned to live”, everything adds. At some point, the cost and stress of constant repairs begin to overcome the benefits of repairing things. Addressing everything at once allows you to update energy efficiency appliances, fix obsolete plumbing and finally have lighting that really works as it should.
5. You have overcome it
Your lifestyle has changed. Maybe his family has grown, or is cooking more these days. What used to “work well” no longer cuts it. You may want more preparation space, a cozy place to sit in the morning, or an additional oven to make the holidays less stirred. When your space no longer conforms to the way it lives, it is time to stop tightening it and begin to shape your needs.
