Whether you have just had a kitchen refurbishment or want to ensure your well-loved cupboards and shelving last for as long as possible, there are some common mistakes that should be avoided. Let’s take a look at the dos and don’ts of maintaining a great kitchen.
Overloading Shelves
Over-filled or over-estimated shelving is a common cause of bowing and collapse. If you want your kitchen refurb or old kitchen to stay looking its best, use lower-level shelves and drawers for heavier items. Stick with small ornaments and glasses, for example, on higher shelves.
Unused Corners
Corners can become unused and unloved. When planning your next Kitchen Refurb, think about how best to use corners and consider smart solutions, such as pull-out storage.
Poor Lighting
Integrated lighting can look great but can be a complete waste when not used correctly. If you are having cabinet LEDs, make sure they are placed with functionality in mind. Also think about the tone of the lighting. Warm tones will give a softer look and may add to your endeavours to light your kitchen for style and function.
Poor Planning
Poor planning can result in cabinets not achieving their full potential. Pre-plan what each cabinet will be used for and consider labelling them with what goes inside during the design phase to prevent aesthetics becoming the primary driving force.
Damaged Cabinets
Squeaks, warping, and chipping are common issues. To help prevent this, try to invest in quality materials and joinery.
