Our team at McMillan Millwork & Joinery has been working in the home improvement business for over 20 years, and we want to help you make your project a success. We are driven to bring great designs to life, and you can count on us to deliver the high-quality craftsmanship you deserve. In this article, we will go over some examples of mistakes to avoid when working on your kitchen renovations.
- Clearance Issues – One mistake we have seen many people make when it comes to kitchen renovations is not leaving enough room for door clearances. When your cabinet doors open in opposite directions, there’s not enough room to get appliance doors fully open, or open doors block a key route through the kitchen, it makes the space harder to use. Our team will take these issues into account, making sure you can use your space effectively.
- Poor Storage Design – Another mistake people often make in kitchen renovations is not designing their storage space effectively. Our team has extensive experience in cabinet design, and you can count on our experts to make sure you can make the best use of your available storage space, fitting as many items as possible in it. In addition, we’ll include features to make sure you can easily access your dishes, ingredients, appliances, etc., when you need them.
- Not Customizing – A third mistake people make when it comes to kitchen renovations is not taking the opportunity to customize the space to their own preferences. Our team believes in designing the space for you, tailoring it to suit your own needs and preferences, rather than focusing on maximizing resale value. With this in mind, if it would be easier for you to use lower or higher countertops, or you want to bring the cabinets down to within easier reach, then we encourage you to make those changes.
