(NAPSI)—Remodeling a kitchen can be a great idea—for most
families it is the heart of the home and most-used room—and it can be
easier than you may realize, if you heed these four suggestions.
Helpful Hints
1. Cabinet “magic”:
Instead of going through the trouble and expense of installing new, custom
cabinets, give your current ones a coat of paint, new pulls and knobs or
perhaps new doors.
2. Light up your life: It can
be a bright idea to improve the lighting. Make sure overhead lighting is
concentrated in those areas where you work the most, such as over the stove
and sink. Under-cabinet lighting can also be a good idea.
3. Be sink
smart: You needn’t change every appliance if they’re working
well but one thing that can give any kitchen a new look is to change the
sink, the most-used appliance. For example, BLANCO sinks save space on the
counter and make everyday cleaning and prepping easy. Those made of SILGRANIT
are impervious to scratches, chips and stains while the company’s
newest stainless material, DURINOX, resists fingerprints and scratches. If
you can, keep the plumbing in the same place it is now, to save time, trouble
and money.
4. Clever, convenient accessories:
A few little things can make a big difference. Sink accessories add
functionality while letting you create your own personalized workstation.
Custom stainless grids and elegant drain covers and strainers can make prep
work more pleasing, cleanup less complicated, and entertaining an event
reserved for graciously accepting compliments.
As one kitchen designer put it: “Most clients are particular about
aesthetics, but all clients insist on functionality. People want spaces that
convey their personality, but most of all want their kitchen to make their
lives easier.”
In response, Blanco came up with grids that float inside the sink to dry
dishes, elevate pots or wash vegetables; colanders and cutting boards that
can sit on top of the sink or on a specially engineered ledge to save counter
space and make prep work a dream. You have to set the colander inside the
sink anyway, while using the cutting board in the sink is a sneaky way to get
in more counter space and make the job of prepping easier, too.
