Do you know enough to ensure you end up with the best kitchen possible, no matter how good your designer is? The more you know even before your designer is chosen the better it is for your final result.

If you’re getting ready to remodel your kitchen, or even move into a new home, there are several guidelines that your kitchen designer will follow when designing your kitchen.  As a homeowner, it can be useful to know some of these guidelines. These guidelines and design principles help you choose the correct appliances, lighting, have the right space planning and much more related to your final design. Knowing and understanding these guidelines will give you a better understanding as to why your kitchen designer does or does not do certain things.
