The challenge
While most individuals will consider their kitchen cabinets, materials and kitchen appliances, they often forget to visualize the end result. One of the main objectives of any kitchen renovation is to make sure that you have an efficient workspace once the project has been completed. At the very start of the renovation, make sure that your kitchen’s busiest areas such as the sink, stove and refrigerator are all positioned for a smooth transition when you are cooking.
You have to keep in mind that the kitchen is an area of the house used every single day, and therefore the function and flow is just as important, if not more, than the aesthetic of your new renovation.
The Result
Great cabinets refacing.
