Comfort Small Kitchen Remodel

I’m in the middle of a small kitchen remodel, and it’s been quite the process. Not only has it taken months to plan, but there have been many decisions to make during the process. For example: do you want to go for granite countertops or butcher blocks? What about appliances? And don’t forget lighting and backsplash! That’s why I’ve decided to share my experiences with you so that any future small-kitchen-remodeling projects will be much easier on your wallet (and mind).

Countertop Choices

You can choose from a variety of materials for your countertop. Granite and marble are both good choices, but there are many other options. You can also select from a variety of colors and styles for your small kitchen remodel countertop, as well as shapes and sizes that will match your space perfectly.

Appliance Updates

  • Refrigerator: A refrigerator is a place where you store food, so it’s important that you have one that works properly. If your current refrigerator isn’t working well, consider replacing it with a new one.
  • Stove: The stovetop and oven are two of the most important appliances in any kitchen because they allow you to cook all sorts of foods with ease. If yours are old and not working well, consider replacing them with newer models that offer more features than before like warming drawers or convection fans for even baking results!
  • Microwave: This handy little device lets you heat up leftovers quickly without heating up your whole house by using an electric coil instead of gas flames like traditional stoves use (although some microwaves also come equipped with burners). If yours is old-fashioned looking or doesn’t fit into your new design scheme perfectly anymore then consider getting rid of this outdated piece altogether–it probably won’t be missed anyway! Just make sure whatever replacement model(s) go into place don’t take up too much counter space since those are limited resources within small spaces such as ours here at home.”

Light Fixtures

Lighting is a key element of any small kitchen remodel. The right light fixtures can make your space feel more open and airy, while poor choices can make it feel cramped and dark. Before you choose your lighting fixtures, consider these questions:

  • Is this a kitchen where people will be spending a lot of time? If so, then energy efficiency should be a major concern when choosing lights, you don’t want to waste money on bulbs that burn out quickly or use too much electricity! Energy-efficient options include LEDs and CFLs (compact fluorescent lamps). They last longer than traditional incandescent bulbs and cost less over time because they use less power than incandescent bulbs do when turned on at full brightness over long periods of time (for example an hour per day instead of 10 minutes per day).
  • What kind of ambiance do I want? You might want something warm or cozy like soft yellow light cast by Edison bulbs; cool blue tones from fluorescent tubes; a bright white light from halogen pendants overhead; or even funky patterns created by colored LEDs in recessed cans around countertops–anything goes!

Backsplash

When you’re looking for a backsplash that’s easy to clean and won’t scratch, think about using bricks. Bricks are great because they come in many different colors, shapes, and sizes. You can also use bricks to create a design on your kitchen wall with them by arranging them in different patterns.

If you have more money to spend on your backsplash, granite is another option that will last longer than ceramic or porcelain tiles but not as long as concrete or stone materials (like marble). Granite doesn’t show scratches very easily either so it’s perfect if you have children who want their own space in the kitchen when cooking with mommy or daddy!

First Thing To Consider Is Space

The first thing to consider when a small kitchen remodel is space. Space for cooking, eating, and cleaning. How much countertop do you need? How much storage do you need? What kinds of appliances do you have or want in your new kitchen?

These are all questions that will help determine how big your new kitchen should be. If there’s no room for a full-sized refrigerator or dishwasher then it might be time to downsize those items or buy some smaller ones that fit into the smaller space available in your home.

Conclusion

The kitchen is one of the rooms in the house that we use most often, so it’s important to make sure that it is comfortable and easy to maintain. If you want to remodel your kitchen but don’t have a lot of money, consider these ideas for improving its functionality without spending too much money.
