Everyone dreams of their perfect kitchen, and whenever that time comes to make it happen you need to make sure everything has been thought through down to the smallest detail. Kitchen renovations can be stressful if you are not prepared for it or if you try to take on too much by yourself without consulting a professional. These are some key things that should be considered before taking on a major kitchen renovation alone.
1. Unique Flooring
If you decide to go with a neutral palette and solid colors a bold floor is a great option to bring in interest. Here, classic black and white share the stage and create a truly unique floor.
2. Integrated Appliances
Starting from "scratch" on a kitchen is the perfect opportunity to give yourself maximum storage and function. Integrated fridge drawers for the kids or dishwasher drawers so you can wash a partial load these ideas can make or break your everyday tasks if you don't consider them. Also, disguising them with your cabinet face gives your kitchen a seamless look.

3. Update Cabinets
So you kitchen has the function you need, but its just outdated. Refinishing your existing cabinets can be a huge cost saver and frees up your budget for other key elements you want in your dream kitchen.
4. Hardware
Using finger pulls instead of decorative pulls creates a more streamline look.
5. Use a Similar Color
Bring other colors from adjacent rooms to make your new and improved kitchen flow with the rest of the house. Kind of like it has always been there!
6. Durable Solutions
In a hard working kitchen durable surfaces are important. Countertops are one of the most because they get the most abuse. So make sure you pick a material like quartz, concrete or stainless for a longer lasting counter.
7. Open Up Your Space
Ever had the chance to knock down a wall? Its a great feeling, like a therapy session or anger management at home! Also makes for a closer family or better entertaining space. Even though square footage wasn't added your home will feel bigger.
8. The Social Island
The kitchen is the heart of the home, right? Well at least that's where everyone migrates to. Creating ample seating for others to hang out with the chef is always good. It allows you to still be apart of the action and a comfortable place for others to sit.
9. Creative Backspash
There are so many options for backsplashes now so why not take advantage of them? This one shows irregular shaped stainless tiles. They are just as simple to install as sheeted mosaic tiles but are more interesting.
10. Mix It Up
Two tone cabinetry is a great way to introduce another color into your kitchen as well as create some interest instead of having a sea of one color cabinetry.
