You spend a lot of time and precious moments in your kitchen. It’s important that your kitchen is functional and reflects the image you always pictured for your home. At West Shore Construction, we can make your dream kitchen a reality. Here’s everything you need to know before you begin the kitchen remodeling job.

Things To Consider Before You Begin Your Kitchen Remodel

Remodeling your kitchen is a big decision, and you might not know where to start. The first thing you want to consider, though, is the fact you won’t have a kitchen for a period of time. Plan accordingly to be without things like your sink or your stove. Not to mention you need to expect people in and out of your home for the remodel duration. This is why it’s essential to trust your contractor, and if you don’t, do not pursue a remodeling job with them.

What Should You Expect From Your Contractor

Trusting your contractor is essential, but what makes them worth trusting? The simple answer to that question is a license, insurance, and positive references. If your potential contractor doesn’t have the proper license or insurance, this should automatically be a deal-breaker.

You could end up being sued if a team member is injured on your property and the company doesn’t have the proper insurance. So ensure you’re protecting yourself in case of an unfortunate event. As far as references go, it’s never rude to ask your kitchen remodeling company for them. If anything, they should hop on the opportunity to show you quality work through past jobs.

Helpful Tips For Color Decisions

The psychology behind color choices can get really interesting. It’s actually said warm colors like yellow, orange, and especially red are known to enhance your appetite. That’s why most fast-food chains incorporate yellow and orange into their logos. The red is beneficial because it’s associated with emotion and passion and can even speed up your heart rate, which can induce hunger. On the other hand, a color like blue can sometimes suppress our appetites because our brains have trouble associating the color blue with a food we like.

If you choose green and light earthy tones, this suggests healthy eating habits within your kitchen. Additionally, it’s always best to stray away from dark colors if you have a smaller kitchen space. Light colors will open up the room to appear larger.

The Extra Cost Is Worth The Quality

During your kitchen remodel, you will discover many ways to cut corners and save money. However, there are some areas where investing more money is definitely worth it, such as,

  • Countertops
  • Backsplash
  • Ventilation

Your countertops take up a lot of space in your kitchen and are bound to experience some wear and tear. So when you’re choosing countertops, just go with the natural stone options that are classic and durable. A backsplash is also something worth investing in because it can influence the entire design of your kitchen. Lastly, make sure you have proper ventilation! No one wants a hot, stuffy kitchen.
