The kitchen is one of the most important areas of a home that falls under the active zones and it also requires considerable storage space. Whether you are redesigning your kitchen with a tight budget in mind or with a luxury touch, the functionality should be the core of your design. Here are some tips to keep in mind if you are looking to remodel your kitchen.
Drawers for Storage
We can’t stop advocating for plenty of drawers instead of using cabinets for storing all your kitchen necessities. The possibilities of areas where you can install drawers are endless; beneath your stove, the oven, or the sink. Vertical drawers can be installed next to the built-in refrigerator too.

Kitchen Island
Does your kitchen have an open layout? Why not add an island in the middle that can work as a breakfast or dining area? This will be a perfect solution if you have a small apartment and would prefer to skip adding a dining table to save space. And what do you know! A kitchen island also provides you with another area to install drawers!

Use Your Wall
Some extra storage space can also be created by building wall-mounted kitchen shelves just behind your stove. This placement of shelves will also give you easy access to the items you need at your hand’s reach, while you are busy channeling your inner chef.

Focus on Placement
When you get caught up in an organization frenzy, don’t lose focus on ensuring the correct placement of your devices and cooking utensils. Is the microwave at a convenient height? Is there enough space between the kitchen island and the cabinets for easy movement while working in your kitchen? Do a quick check on these crucial aspects before finalizing your design.
