Home Wood Works

Remodeling a home is a great way to improve its value while also making it a nicer place to live. One room that is very popular to remodel and that can substantially increase the value of a home is the kitchen. Whether your budget is large or small, following these kitchen home improvement tips will go a long way toward making your kitchen great.

Remember the Work Triangle

As you make your plans for your new kitchen, the floor plan should be your top priority. In order to create a kitchen that is both attractive and functional, you need to make sure it includes a work triangle.

Generally, your kitchen triangle should include the following elements:

None of the sides of the “triangle” should be less than four feet long or more than nine feet long. The path of the triangle should not be interrupted by cabinetry or traffic The total perimeter of the work triangle should measure no less than 12 feet and no more than 26 feet

Natural stone Solid surface Laminate

Marble and quarts are some of the various types of natural stone countertops to select from. Though they are quite attractive and will add a great deal of value to the kitchen, these surfaces are the most costly to install.

Solid surface countertops are usually less costly than natural stone, though they are still more expensive than laminate countertops. Since they prove easy to clean and care for and do not require ceiling, solid surfaces also have an advantage over natural stone.
