Was your kitchen built any time before the 21st Century? If so, then it is probably showing signs of wear and tear. From dysfunctional appliances to fault fixtures, there are many reasons why you need an upgrade. There are so many wonderful things you can do with a makeover. You can transform a frustrating space into one that is truly stunning.
Form and functionality is the top priority when remodelling. So, if you’ve noticed any of these aesthetic or practical problems then you’re probably considering a makeover:
- The appliances are faulty
“No dishwasher! Stop leaking!” Is something you should never have to say to a dishwasher. What’s more, it’s not going to solve the issue. What’s even more is that having an expert “repair” it will only really be a temporary fix. No, that 1990s dishwasher has to go. So too does that fridge that’s covered in stickers dating back to Parramatta’s last premiership.
Yes, if your appliances are faulty, then they are bringing your space down. This is when you need to invest in one of the most modern kitchens Western Sydney has. Your brand new appliances will make it so much more functional. And, if you love cooking, you know there is almost nothing as important as having a functional space with working appliances.
- It doesn’t have prep space
We don’t know why, but old designers overlooked a major imperative: prep space! This may have something to do with yesterday’s Australians eating most of their food from electromagnetic waves. Or, maybe it’s because a roast only needs a little bit of space to chop and place in the oven. But today’s home chefs are worldly experimenters who need plenty of space to create.
So, if you get frustrated with the lack of prep space every time you cook, something needs to be done! A remodel will create the space you need to cook without wanting to throw your wok through the window. Space is essential to cooking: you need it for everything from chopping to mixing and even cleaning. So, if you feel your outdated design left behind the essential space component, it’s time to do something about it.
- It doesn’t have what you need
Old designs were rudimentary things. You had your fridge, your microwave, your stove and your table – that was about it. But today’s kitchens can be replete with stunning modern appliances. From blenders to slow cookers, smart fridges and everything in between, your space can be one that truly allows you to create your most delectable dishes.
So, if you find that your kitchen is lacking the essentials for you to create mouthwatering delights, then perhaps it’s time for a remodel? Your future masterchef self will thank you for it!
- It lacks storage space
Not only did older designs lack prep space – they also lacked storage space! Honestly, it was like the kitchen was an afterthought, a place where mum threw together Vegemite sandwiches and stuffed them in the kids’ lunch box. That’s because they were, really. But modern families love to create delicious meals at home, and storage space is essential for all your appliances and ingredients.
- The lighting is bad
Because who wants to cook in the dark? It’s a very unfortunate experience and one that often leads to a Band-Aid being wrapped around an index finger. So, if the lighting gives you the creeps, then it’s a good idea to ensure your safety through installing some elegant-yet-high-visibility lighting. You’ll be happy you did when you’re making a delightful summer salad and not a mandolin-induced trip to emergency!
