The most common reason for a kitchen remodel is that homeowners are unhappy with the space due to the layout. And because not every remodel can be a complete rebuild of the space, it’s important to know what your options for the space are. With the proper changes to an existing layout, or creating a new space that better fits your needs, your kitchen can become the space you had always dreamed of.

So what does it take to get the kitchen of your dreams? It’s more than finishes and countertops; it’s really about how you make the space work for you.

Make it work for you

Depending on how often you use your kitchen, the amount of space you need and layout may vary. The one thing that is essential for a well-designed kitchen is efficiency – which you can get by keeping in mind the work triangle, activity zones and activity flow.

There are many options for you to choose from with regards to the layout of your kitchen (assuming your budget and space allow) – they come in all shapes, like U, I and L - and you can find one that will work great with your space in our free Kitchen Design – The Layout guidebook.
