Remodeling Mistakes Homeowners Make

The kitchen has always been known as the heart of the home. Whether the homeowner is a frequent cook or not, the kitchen is one of the areas that would benefit from an upgrade after years of use. Even the most well thought out renovation project can end up with regrettable results when the homeowner doesn't let their bespoke kitchen designer from Somerset do their job. Although a client's request is vital, sound advise from your decorator can make a world of difference when properly considered. 

For example, open shelvings have been all the rage in home design. While it does give the appearance of a more spacious and airy kitchen it however requires diligent cleaning and organising. Ask yourself if you really have the time for this? Also, is it necessary to have all your shelves open? Do those kitschy knickknacks and novelty mugs really need to be out on display?

Stainless stoves, ovens, iceboxes, and dishwashers look so professional. However, it also makes your kitchen look sterile and it does take away any cozy and homey ambiance that makes a kitchen inviting. Even pro chefs find that the stainless look is best left in restaurants or even morgues. You can find more information here.

Many people do not realise it but a bespoke kitchen designer from Somerset will actually spend time calculating the distance of appliances, countertops, walkways, etc. to ensure that the traffic and the flow in the kitchen goes smoothly. You don't want to be stuck with corner cabinets that are useless or cupboards with doors you cannot open fully because it hits a wall. So before you ignore your designers' suggestions, stop and discuss how it can be integrated into your dream kitchen design.
