As arguably the most important room of any house, the kitchen should be free of clutter and easy to navigate, seeing as it's where the food is kept and prepared. There's no one-size-fits-all approach to kitchen remodeling, and each instance will require personal touches. However, here are general guidelines to follow to make your kitchen as functional and organized as possible.

How to Update Your Kitchen's Functionality

1. Change It Up

There's nothing worse than a kitchen that's difficult to use. Whether the dishwasher is in a bad spot, the refrigerator door won't open due to an obstruction, or there's no clear walking path through the space, freeing up room in your kitchen remodeling plan to make your kitchen more functional is well worth the money. 

2. Strategically Light It

When you can't see what you're doing in the kitchen, it takes a lot of the joy out of cooking. For example, when cooking something on the stove, if the only light is overhead and shining on your head, it's not easy to see what's going on in front of you. If that sounds like your kitchen, consider adding lights above the stove.

One idea for functional lighting is cabinet lighting, which illuminates the dark recesses of your cabinet spaces. Take some time to think of where it would be helpful to have more lighting, and then add that to the kitchen remodeling plan. 

3. Include Functional Decor

When the kitchen's counter space is filled with purely artistic decor without any practical use, a lot of space is wasted. Consider replacing your set with attractive bowls and cutting boards to remedy this. 

This strategy helps keep the kitchen attractive while also adding functionality. It also organizes the area and frees up cabinet and drawer space.
