Home improvement continues to be on the rise after spending so much time inside due to the pandemic. Whether you've been struck with sudden inspiration or have had dreams of updating for years, a successful kitchen remodel requires quite a bit of thoughtfulness. The following guide explores a few tips for taking on a kitchen renovation.  

Do:

Make your kitchen storage efficient.

You shouldn't have to cross the kitchen to get a pot or get a spoon from one side of the room and a bowl from the other. Remodeling your kitchen is a great opportunity to redesign your storage in a way that makes the most sense. You can eliminate extra steps by ensuring the storage you choose is the proper size for your space and needs and is situated where it will be most utilized. 

Customize for your needs.

A home improvement project lets you eliminate kitchen inconveniences. Including custom details like installing a swing-out tap to fill a pot over the stove or having multiple outlets added in convenient places, you can optimize the room's functionality for the tasks you do most.

Add shades of blue. 

For many, the kitchen can be the most chaotic room in the house. It tends to be where everyone gravitates and often serves as a place for creation. While all-white kitchens may feel bright and airy, they lack the balance and serenity of a space with accents of blue. The psychology behind the hue asserts that it promotes feelings of peace and tranquility. 

Don't:

Forget your flow.

During the design process, it's essential to think about the areas in your kitchen that get congested. You can create an effective flow by separating busy areas. For example, increasing the space between the breakfast table and kitchen island or between the island and the countertops accommodates foot traffic and allows access to storage.

Choose appliances last. 

Choosing new appliances is an enjoyable part of remodeling until they're delivered, and you realize that the perfect blender or the most spacious refrigerator doesn't fit. Unfortunately, this is a typical result of selecting appliances at the end of the renovation process. However, you can avoid this by deciding on appliances early in the design phase so that your builder can plan around them, ensuring a perfect fit.

Clutter your kitchen.

Depending on the design of your kitchen, you may aesthetically pine for minimalism and open shelving, but later realize this means your mismatched pots and pans are on display. However, carefully considering your culinary routine will help you decide what you need readily available and which items you can tuck away.
