Whether you live alone and focus on preparing nutritious meals or juggle packing lunches for work and school, the daily time spent in your kitchen can be multiple hours everyday. Consider how your kitchen is used daily to guide you in creating a highly functional design for your home. At Scott's Construction, your trusted construction company and general contractor in Orland Park, we emphasize personalization in every kitchen remodel.
Must-Have Features to Consider Including in Your Kitchen Remodel
Personalization to How You Cook
The beauty of a kitchen remodel lies in making the space to perfectly match your lifestyle. If you love baking, consider having your remodel contractor install a KitchenAid mixer lift that makes it easy to access your mixer without moving it around. For coffee aficionados, we can create a dedicated space for an espresso machine or even include a kegerator for those who enjoy draft beer at home.
Gathering Spaces
People naturally congregate around kitchen islands and countertops so work with your renovation contractor to maximize your entertaining space in the kitchen. Add seating around a custom kitchen island or peninsula. Don’t overlook the short length of the island or peninsula—adding seating there can offer additional countertop space while creating an inviting atmosphere for entertaining or casual family meals.
Cabinets for Optimal Storage
One of the most important aspects of a successful kitchen renovation is storage. Unlike pre-made cabinets that come in limited sizes, our custom kitchen cabinets can include space made for specialized spice storage, custom drawers for pots and pans, and even cabinets designed for your bulky countertop appliances or Tupperware containers and lids. This level of customization ensures that your kitchen can stay better organized and clutter-free.
Features of Daily Convenience
Lastly, consider the more practical features in your home improvement. We recommend including conveniently placed outlets to power up your newly renovated space. These can even be installed to pop up in high-end granite or quartz countertops when needed, maintaining a clean aesthetic when not in use. Additionally, if you have pets, think about integrating built-in food and water dishes into a low drawer to have dedicated pet care storage.
