Kitchen Remodel Upgrades

Here are a few ideas to make your kitchen just a little more fun. 

1. A hidden spice drawer. There is a lot of dead space to be found in kitchens. This can be between the stove and cabinets, the refrigerator and walls, even underneath the cabinets! A great use of that space is to put in a built-in spice rack! 
2. A stand mixer shelf with a lift. Your mixer may be helpful when it comes to baking, but it can be a huge eye sore and take up a lot of valuable counter space. Adding in a special spot just for that gets it off your counters while it’s still easily accessible. 
3. A drawer for your garbage and recycling cans. Most families keep their garbage cans under the sink and while that can get them out of your way, it makes it a little more difficult when dumping messy plates and can cause mess and bacteria to gather underneath the cans. A sliding shelf can be added to help keep messes away and make your life just a little easier!
4. Hanging pan storage. If you’re anything like most Americans, your pots and pan storage is basically nonexistent. They just get thrown into a cabinet wherever they fit. This can cause chips, cracks, and a big headache when you’re looking for a lid that you forgot to take out and your sauce is boiling over on the stove. Adding in a designated space can help alleviate a lot of extra stress!
5. A pull out cutting board. Another great use for dead space is a sturdy, reinforced cutting board under the countertop. This may not seem like it would add very much space, but it can make a world of difference when you have 15 different things happening in your kitchen and can’t find a spot to cut an onion! 

A kitchen is such a personal space. You can change it up and customize it in almost any way imaginable. Think about what frustrates you most about your current layout and what it’s lacking, then contact the J Kruzan Construction and Remodeling team today to get started on your dream kitchen!
