Common Kitchen and Bath Remodeling Mistakes to Avoid in Franklin Township, NJ
Kitchen Cabinets in Franklin Township NJ
Failing to plan BEFORE starting the project
Your work begins before you open up that first can of paint and primer for the kitchen and/or bathroom cabinets. You must get all your ducks in a row by making a concrete plan of what you are going to do and how you want to do it. The whole point is that you are trying to bring your ideas to life. To do that, you have to turn your thoughts into measurements, designs, and materials. Don’t leave out anything; every detail is of importance. You must ask yourself about the goals you have for the floorplan you are given. Once you figure out the answer to that question, you are off to a great start.
Neglecting the original layout of the space
Make sure your kitchen and bath designs are based off the original floor plan of the room, and of the rest of the house. Try not to bite off more than you can chew by trying to make changes that you cannot handle. One of the ways to avoid doing this is to look at the structural layout of the room you’re remodeling and the adjacent room (s). If you ignore major structural components in the floorplan, you can run into some big problems. This mistake also goes for using the wrong materials for the use of the room. You should think about the kind of material that can withstand the wet environment. Many people keep it simple and elegant by choosing between granite countertops and quartz countertops for the kitchen and bathroom.
Not enough storage space
This mistake is essential to avoid, especially in the kitchen. Kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities with cabinets are a great source of storage space, and My House Kitchen has plenty of options to choose from. You should consider adding some extra custom kitchen cabinets to keep your countertops clear of too many appliances. The bathroom is no exception to this either. Declutter the vanity and shower ledge by adding some bathroom cabinets. You could also turn the mirror into a bathroom cabinet for extra space.
Making the toilet the focus of the room
The focus of the bathroom is not the toilet. The focus is supposed to be on the bathroom vanity and countertops. The toilet is not an appealing place, people should not be compelled to look at it. Avoid over decorating the toilet and drawing too much attention to it. As long is it works, and it’s clean, the toilet in fine the way it is. However, the rest of the bathroom is a blank canvas.
Trying to rush the project
Renovations take time to complete. The more work you want to do to your home increases the time it is going to take to complete the job. Rushing the renovations can produce easily preventable mistakes that could end up costing you much more money and stress in the long run. Just plan everything out and set a reasonable time frame based on the amount of work and difficulty level of the work.
