In many ways, creating a kitchen isn’t any more complicated
than creating a cake. You can put a new twist on an old recipe or construct
a brand new one step-by-step. Regardless, you first must decide:
What you have a taste for
How much you want to spend
When you want it to be done
What
size and shape you prefer
Most cakes have the same basic ingredients. They don’t taste special until
you stir in the chocolate chips or the raspberries. So it is with a new
kitchen.
Every kitchen has the same basic design elements:
Cabinets
Appliances
Countertops
Flooring
Sinks and faucets
Walls, mouldings, and other architectural details
It’s a kitchen remodeling designer who plays the role of baker in your
new kitchen remodeling plans. A designer can give your kitchen its own
unique flavor by helping you find the right mix of styles, materials, and
colors.
Starting points include:
The architectural style of your Spokane home—by making your home’s interior
reflect its exterior, you bring continuity to the whole structure.
 Your
needs—perhaps you want space to cook big family meals, you’re an at-home
gourmet, or you have special accessibility concerns. Your cabinets’ door
style and color will have the most impact on your new kitchen’s palette by
making the strongest visual statement.
Appliances also deserve top billing. Which ones you select and where you put
them will determine how cook-friendly your layout is.
Next you’ll want to choose complementary countertops, flooring, plumbing
fixtures, and architectural details. Don’t try to get everything to match
exactly. You can best give your kitchen a certain feel by making sure
everything coordinates but still keeps its own character.
It’s hard to be patient while you’re waiting for your new kitchen to be
installed. Make other arrangements for your meals and protect your
belongings in rooms near the work area.
When it’s all done, celebrate with a party—and some chocolate cake!
