Save time, money, and stress by planning smartly.
Designing a kitchen can be exciting — but also overwhelming. Here are five common mistakes even experienced homeowners make:
- Ignoring workflow — always follow the “work triangle” rule (sink, stove, fridge).
- Choosing the wrong materials — select moisture-resistant boards for cabinets near sinks or stoves.
- Overlooking lighting — layer your task, accent, and ambient lights.
- Not leaving enough storage — deeper drawers and smart dividers can save space.
- Rushing the finish — take time to select the right edging and laminate for durability.
