Our Kitchen Design Tips near Lexington, SC
While your kitchen should be cohesive with the rest of your home, its most important function is to provide a dedicated space for cooking. That means having counter space for cutting and chopping; cabinets for storing bowls, containers, pots, and pans; a sink for rinsing produce and washing kitchen utensils; and appliances like ovens and refrigerators for cooking and storing food.
Put simply, a kitchen is integral to your daily life and prone to high activity. At E.D.’s Paint and Decorating, our expert designers help homeowners plan and budget their kitchen remodel and renovation for a safe but stylish space.
What To Prioritize When Designing Your Kitchen
Space and Storage
Space is essential to a kitchen. Crammed cabinets not only contribute to a disorganized kitchen but can actually pose a safety hazard. Avoid a can of cream of chicken falling on your foot and safely store your kitchen items away by planning for ample kitchen storage.
Shelves, cabinets, and racks are all good choices for storing items, and drawer organizers and hooks are especially helpful when working with a small space. It is important to have good kitchen storage in order to keep as many items off your counter as possible. Not only does it make your kitchen more clutter-free, but it gives you the necessary room to prep, cook, and clean.
Flooring
The flooring of your kitchen is also crucial to household safety. The right flooring can avoid precarious slips and spills. At E.D.’s Paint and Decorating, we offer hardwood, laminate, and vinyl flooring that are either water-resistant or waterproof, making them well-suited for kitchen use:
- Hardwood is traditional home flooring, and while it is the most vulnerable to water, a sturdy, solid hardwood can resist the occasional spill and is easy to refresh or replace.
- Vinyl flooring can mimic the warmth of hardwood using more durable material. It is waterproof and easy-to-clean, though heavy items may scratch it.
- Laminate is a more cost-effective alternative to hardwood flooring. Certain laminate is more waterproof than others, but whatever water-resistance this flooring may lack, it makes up for with easy installation.
- Ceramic tile is a sturdier eco-friendly alternative to hardwood. It is the best flooring for resisting normal scratches and dents, and different colors can be used to lay a unique pattern on your kitchen floor.
Lighting
You can’t cook if you can’t see. Good lighting allows you to work properly in your kitchen.
Our Hunter Douglas window treatments are perfect solutions to controlling your kitchen’s natural light. The softness of shades juxtaposes nicely with stainless steel appliances, and the durability of shutters makes them ideal for the high-humidity, high-activity of a kitchen. Our Hunter Douglas kitchen window treatment recommendations include:
- Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters are stain and water resistant. These plantation shutters add clean lines to your kitchen, and custom louver sizes allow your desired amount of light in. The Palm Beach Promise™ guarantees your vinyl shutters will never warp, chip, or discolor, and standard hinged panels allow you to pull your shutters open and closed for better ventilation.
- Alustra® Architectural Roller Shades include over forty exclusive fabric and color choices. Front-rolling fabrics allow them to operate smoothly on most windows. The Roman shade design gives your windows elegant structure, while the roller shade operation keeps your shades out of harm’s way.
- Sonnette® Roller Shades are another great kitchen window treatment option thanks to their roller design. The cellular shade aspect of these window coverings insulates your kitchen and regulates its temperature for perfect proofing and avoiding uncomfortably warm cooking conditions. Semi-opaque and room-darkening opacities let light through while keeping your kitchen shaded and private.
For your cooking convenience, use motorized blinds and shades to operate your window treatments hands-free with Amazon Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant.
