How to upgrade your kitchen: our Top tips

When it comes to renovations, kitchens are one of the most important rooms in the house to upgrade because they're one of the most-used areas by the whole family. Set yourself up for success with your renovation with these tips!

1. Moving or Choosing the Perfect Sink Location
The sink is one of the key pieces of your kitchen, and where this integral piece of equipment is located is key for having a clean flow to your kitchen process. Choosing a sink that's in front of a window provides a sense of space and serenity that you don't get when looking directly at a wall. If your kitchen has an island, putting the sink in the island can also be a great way to maximize space and enhance flow.

2. Choose Unique Backsplash
Backsplash can follow two paths: either becoming incredibly trendy or timeless. Choosing the basics like white subway tile allows you to mix and match solid colour choices of other items in your kitchen. Choosing a unique backsplash requires more planning, but can dramatically alter the feeling of your kitchen.

3. Get a Pot Filler
We know, it sounds crazy but adding a pot filler to your kitchen is a game-changer. No more spilling and carrying heavy pots around. Putting a pot filler near your stove makes it easy to add a lot - or just a little - water when you need it. Cooking gets that much easier with this one small change!

4. Create More Storage
Making more storage part of your kitchen is one of the most practical upgrades that you can make. Yes, visually a new island is amazing. From a functional perspective: a new island is amazing to look at, cook on, and store stuff inside of! If you're not making your kitchen island into a storage vessel: you're missing out!

5. Fresh Paint and Lighting
Kitchens are an area that is commonly used and abused. Appropriate kitchen lighting is more bright and realistically, harsh than the typical living room or bedroom lighting - and that's okay! Updating your paint and lights can create a more functional and enjoyable kitchen space by working together. The combination of the two allows for an upgraded look, feeling, and function.
