The kitchen is the heart of your home, which is why so many people are working with professional kitchen designers to create the ideal kitchen. According to Architectural Digest, kitchen remodels are the most popular upgrades and have the highest budgets. However, there are a few things to consider before going to the professionals. Here's a brief overview of the most important aspects to explore first.

Determine Your Color Palette

Take the time to think about the color palette you want for the room. It should be cohesive with nearby rooms to create a nice flow when walking from one room to another. If you already have dishes and decor with a particular theme, consider whether you want to buy new ones or reuse the ones you have. These things can help you decide on an ideal color palette that truly suits your kitchen.

Plan Out Your Storage Space

Kitchen designers can help you design your kitchen, but you must know what you need. For example, consider how much storage space you need. If you have a large family, additional cabinet space is necessary. Consider using empty corner space to install a lazy susan or wall-to-wall cabinets.

Consider the Ideal Flooring Material

As you likely know, most homeowners avoid putting carpet in their kitchens. However, there are several other floor options to choose from. Laminate is cheap and easy to install, but in our experience, it tends to need replacing sooner than other options. Hardwood floors instantly increase property value but may seem out of place in a home with tile floors everywhere. Tile floors are low maintenance and tend to look great in a kitchen, but they take longer to install than other options.

Define Your Priorities

Every homeowner has specific priorities for their dream kitchen. Do you want a cozy breakfast nook where the children will eat? Would you like a kitchen with plenty of counter space and an island because you love to bake? Many homeowners opt for energy-efficient options, such as upgraded appliances. Consider what’s important to you, so you know what to mention to professional kitchen designers.
