"Cabinets are an expensive item in any
remodeling project. They often take up half of
the overall budget for the room. If you can’t
afford the cost of brand new cabinets, there
are cheaper alternatives. Consider cabinet
refacing rather than replacing the entire
cabinet. In refacing, the doors are replaced
and exterior wood areas are covered. This is
much less expensive since you are using the
same cabinets. An even..."

"From the outset, it is important to decide
what you want from your kitchen area. If you’re
going to use it primarily for cooking, then a
large amount of work-surface will be needed. Or
if meals are to be eaten there, room and space

"The kitchen work triangle consists of the
distance between the sink, refrigerator and
range or cooktop. Each one of these areas
becomes a focal point in the kitchen and forms
the three points of a triangle with different
distances between them. Done correctly, the

efficient food preparation area layout in the
kitchen.
Whether you’re remodeling an existing kitchen
or building a new one, an efficient design

number of steps the cook must take between the

"If you have a small room for a kitchen it
may at first seem to be very difficult when you
want to design your own kitchen to your
personal preferences. But remember that a
functional kitchen does not rely just on the
kitchen floor design, where everything has to
fit into tight corners to make the most of the
available space.
One simple but effective idea is to put an
island in or near the centre of the room. These
provide great storage as well a convenient and
handy workspace. Kitchen island designs
automatically create more space, as they are
usually placed in the centre of the kitchen it
also gives you easy access all the way
around.
With a little thought you could even
incorporate something like a breakfast bar as
part of your kitchen island design. And don’t
forget that you are not just limited to a
square or rectangle for your kitchen island, it
could be round or oval or any shape that will
fit into your kitchen floor design..."
