Remodeling a kitchen more customized for your individual needs, even if you are not a gourmet chef, is a common dream for many homeowners.  When you get to the point where you can realize your dream kitchen, many people will take to researching kitchen remodeling and the basics surrounding them.   During the search, you are likely to come across the "rules" or guidelines to remodeling your kitchen.  Where some of these recommendations are very viable, some these rules can be broken.   With this in mind, we at Future Vision Remodeling would like to share the more common rules you can break when designing your new kitchen.  

Kitchen Triangle

This rule has been a guideline for kitchen design since the beginning of time.   Perhaps not that long, but long enough to know that no one really knows its origins.   The kitchen triangle is the designated space between the sink, refrigerator, and stove.   This is not a law written by the kitchen gods that require to have your appliances laid out in such a fashion.   Instead of incorporating the kitchen triangle rule, just do what is ideal for you.   If this guideline helps you better organize your kitchen, then consider it.    Remember that remodeling the kitchen is something you are doing to better fit your daily dynamics into your interactions and should be designed according to your needs and preferences.  

What Should Match in Your Kitchen

Where this might be an attractive presentation for some, others might perceive the matched display as cold or sterile as it loses a lot of visual interest in your kitchen.   There are many things you can do to break up the mundane.  Consider what you may want as a focal point or what will make the kitchen visually stunning by, for example, having a differently colored island, cabinets, shelving, or a few cabinets with glass inserts.  Another example would be to spice the kitchen up with variety of knobs and pulls hardware. These can be easily changed when you are looking for a change but still breakup the matching decor.

Neutral Colors in Kitchen?

One of the guidelines is the use of neutrals in the kitchen.   However, if you like the bolder colors, use them.   This is your kitchen and it should be visually striking according to your tastes.   If you want some bold, consider the deep red or emerald cabinets, or a neutral color kitchen with a bold accent wall.  No matter what you like, follow your tastes.  

These are just the most common of the "rules" you may find.   Where they can be applicable in different circumstances, they are also breakable.  Your kitchen remodel should help you with your individual needs.   Consider storage options, a more useable pantry, bolder materials, upgraded appliances, and so much more.  No matter what you are looking for in your kitchen remodel, call in the professionals of Future Vision Remodeling.  Our experts will help you design the perfect kitchen in your budget and ensure the kitchen is done right the first time and in a timely manner.  Call us today to schedule your consultation.
