Things to avoid while redesigning your kitchen

#1. Inadequate storage

Not enough storage in the kitchen is a nightmare for many. Cabinets and shelves are essential to store all your ingredients, supplies, cookware etc., for a neat-looking, clutter-free space. Remember to get spacious storage units to fit in all your essentials. 

#2. Ineffective design

Poor planning of the space can lead to poor workflow. As a primary design rule, keep the cooking and preparation areas side-by-side. 

The cabinets and pull-out drawers should be correctly fixed; they shouldn’t hit each other and you should have enough space to open them. It is vital that the storage area is near the entrance as it helps reduce the distance between your workstation and the cabinets/fridge. 

#3. Dim lighting

Proper lighting is essential as a dimly lit kitchen can lead to accidents and injuries. A bright kitchen is safer to work in.
