When planning a kitchen renovation, there are so many options, it’s impossible to know them all. This is one reason why it is beneficial to work with a professional designer. Whether or not you do hire a pro, one way to assess your options is to see which features are popular in other people’s renovations. Luckily, with social media platforms like Pinterest and Houzz, taking sneak peeks at others’ renovation choices is easy to do. Below, are some of the more popular choices moving into 2021.
Patio Door
Direct access to the outdoors can be a game-changer when it comes to your quality of life and how you and your family enjoy your kitchen. Whether you want to take a moment for a cup of coffee on the deck in the morning or grill in the sunset, adding a patio door to your kitchen has big benefits. While it makes outdoor dining simpler, this feature also visually expands the room, drawing your eyes to the big open space outside. And if you want the highest quality in patio doors, speak to your local Fairview representative. We are the Andersen experts in your backyard.
Skylights
If you have a kitchen that doesn’t have clear access to the outdoors, skylights are a great way to bring natural light and fresh air into your room. Skylights are especially good for kitchens because they can help regulate indoor temperature and humidity levels.
Prep Sink
A prep sink is a great luxury for the frequent home cook. They help make dinner and cleanup faster and prevent run-ins when there are too many cooks in the kitchen. If you are thinking about adding a prep sink to your island, consider adding a disposal for when leaves or bits of fruits and vegetables slip down the sink.
Appliance Garages
Appliance garages are one of those features you may not have known about if you are not working with a professional designer. These are a form of cabinet storage that helps keep countertop clutter clear by providing a hidden home for big appliances like coffee makers, toasters, and mixers that you may not want to lug out from a cabinet or pantry every time you need them. Since they can be added to a corner cabinet unit, they are also a great way to use up that potentially awkward space.
No matter your goals or budget for your kitchen renovation, working with a designer can open your imagination to a whole new world of possibilities. To book a FREE in-home consultation with a Fairview Millwork and Kitchens designer, call or visit your local Fairview location.
