Most of us have heard kitchen remodel horror stories, but don't let them dissuade you from the kitchen of your dreams! You can easily avoid the mistakes that lead to kitchen remodel disasters if you know what to watch out for.

In their eagerness to make their kitchen better, homeowners sometimes forget to focus on the big picture. You're probably familiar with the saying “Can’t see the forest for the trees.”  This can easily happen in a kitchen remodel situation. Homeowners can be so focused on the individual updates or features they want (like getting those new energy efficient appliances or replacing ugly cracked countertops), that they fail to step back and create an overall lifestyle-based design plan. Considering your family’s lifestyle and overall needs BEFORE choosing design elements can save you a great deal of time and money in the long run.

Another common mistake homeowners make is assuming that the do-it-yourself route is the best way to save money. This is not always the case. Many aspects of a kitchen remodel require the skill of professionals to be implemented properly. Professionals can buy materials in bulk and thus get them for a much better price point than an individual making a small purchase. Finally, a reputable company of kitchen design professionals can help you make better decisions because they know design and the trends of the market.

The kitchen experts at Cabinet Wholesalers can help you to avoid common kitchen remodel mistakes. Our professional designers will come to your home and take measurements of your kitchen. They’ll ask a series of specially prepared design questions and discuss your family’s lifestyle needs, likes and dislikes. Based on your answers, they will offer recommendations.
