Elegant KitchenYou can look into custom built alternatives that come with separate shelves for trays and plate, a separate rack for glasses, front-glass face shelves to store grocery items and numerous drawers. Remember to apply a coat of waterproof paint in the cabinets where you arrange plates and other dishes. For building the inside of cabinets, wood veneer is more durable compared to melamine, laminate, MDF or particleboard. If your ceiling is at a typical 8 feet height, consider extending your cabinets all the way to the ceiling. This will give you ample storage space.

Invest in elegant countertops

Granite, marble or soapstone may be slightly expensive but they give a stylish appearance to your kitchen.

Lighting

This is crucial element while remodelling your kitchen. Bad lighting may make cooking a bad experience. All the efforts you put into building the cabinets, designing countertops and work islands, may look dull and unimpressive due to poor lighting. Install task lighting that covers your work counter, sink and stove directly. Add general and accent lighting to the room.

Flooring and painting

Avoid dark tiles for kitchen floor. Tiles in various shades and patterns are available. Use light color paints on the walls. Dark colors tend to make the room appear small, crampled and crowded.

Your kitchen should be both user friendly and attractive. Avoid overdoing on minor details. Ensure that your kitchen required minimum maintenance.
