Let that sink in\u2026just ONE! A kitchen renovation is an exciting endeavor, but it can be a large, stressful investment. Living through a construction zone for an extended period of time isn&#8217;t necessarily a pleasant experience either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those of you who have successfully renovated your kitchen, you know that this tedious process is worth all the time and energy put into your beautiful new space. But for some, there\u2019s that ever-lingering thought of \u201cI wish I would have\u2026\u201d after all is said and done. We hope to erase &#8220;Renovation Regret&#8221; with our list of things to consider before your kitchen renovation project even begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\"><em>Renovation Regret # 1 &#8211; Not Hiring a Kitchen Designer<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"986\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/masterbrand.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Cabinet-01-Lo-Res-edited.jpg\" alt=\"Kitchen mood board showing the materials and finishes selected for a kitchen.\" class=\"wp-image-1028\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.masterbrandcabinets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Cabinet-01-Lo-Res-edited.jpg 986w, https:\/\/www.masterbrandcabinets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Cabinet-01-Lo-Res-edited-758x500.jpg 758w, https:\/\/www.masterbrandcabinets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Cabinet-01-Lo-Res-edited-768x506.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 986px) 100vw, 986px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The constant barrage of renovation success stories on TV and social media has created a generation of DIYers. But don\u2019t be fooled by how easy they make the process look. Sure, these stories might bolster your confidence to make material selections on your own and even install the project, but one regret homeowners face after the fact is not having a professional kitchen designer guide them through the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most consumers have never designed a kitchen before and this uncharted territory can be more than overwhelming. A kitchen designer can help educate you on space planning, cabinetry selections, and materials and finishes. They will guide you through the design process as well as the timeline for your renovation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Designers have a fresh eye on the potential for your space and will be there to answer any of your questions along the way. They also have a knack for problem-solving, which is imperative throughout this journey. Trust your designer and they will undoubtedly bring your vision to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\"><em>Renovation Regret # 2 : Choosing Aesthetics over Functionality<\/em><em style=\"font-weight: bold\"> <\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/masterbrand.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/FallonMCfrPmtPeb.K4-1400x788.jpg\" alt=\"Functional kitchen layout for renovation inspiration.\" class=\"wp-image-1025\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.masterbrandcabinets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/FallonMCfrPmtPeb.K4-1400x788.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.masterbrandcabinets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/FallonMCfrPmtPeb.K4-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.masterbrandcabinets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/FallonMCfrPmtPeb.K4-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.masterbrandcabinets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/FallonMCfrPmtPeb.K4-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.masterbrandcabinets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/FallonMCfrPmtPeb.K4-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that we\u2019ve convinced you to hire a kitchen designer for your future renovation, it\u2019s important to understand that a beautiful kitchen doesn\u2019t always mean it is functional. Yes, I said it. Scroll through Instagram or Pinterest and you&#8217;ll find plenty of perfectly curated, aesthetic kitchen layouts. But have you thought about how those cabinets actually function in day-to-day life? What are they storing in those cabinets and where do they keep their small appliances? Do they even have a microwave?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each homeowner has different lifestyle demands and their space needs to work in harmony with their daily activities. Functionality needs to always be top-of-mind during the design process. Ask yourself questions like: Where will I store my baking supplies? Do I need to build in seating for my family? How can my pet best utilize the space? Do I want a space to entertain? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each cabinet and surface you select is meant to help keep you working efficiently in your space so think hard about how your kitchen will work for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\"><em>Renovation Regret # 3 &#8211; Not Adding Storage and Organization<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"769\" src=\"https:\/\/masterbrand.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Tho.CottagMWi5.K5-1400x769.jpg\" alt=\"Large white kitchen with open storage and organization pulled out to show the impact.\" class=\"wp-image-1026\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.masterbrandcabinets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Tho.CottagMWi5.K5-1400x769.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.masterbrandcabinets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Tho.CottagMWi5.K5-800x440.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.masterbrandcabinets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Tho.CottagMWi5.K5-768x422.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.masterbrandcabinets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Tho.CottagMWi5.K5-1536x844.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.masterbrandcabinets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Tho.CottagMWi5.K5-2048x1125.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest kitchen renovation regret is skimping on storage and organization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s no surprise that investing in a major kitchen remodel is not going to be cheap. In fact, it\u2019s like buying a new vehicle \u2013 you have the option to upgrade certain add-on features like automatic wipers and voice-activated navigation. In the grand scheme of things, you quickly realize that the convenience factor of these upgrades outweighs the extra dollars spent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">The same goes for storage and organization. By not upgrading your interior organization when you have the chance, you will realize that your new cabinets do not function to their highest potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/masterbrand.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/blog-image-flatten-1400x788.jpg\" alt=\"7 Storage Sku's\" class=\"wp-image-1040\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.masterbrandcabinets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/blog-image-flatten-1400x788.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.masterbrandcabinets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/blog-image-flatten-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.masterbrandcabinets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/blog-image-flatten-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.masterbrandcabinets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/blog-image-flatten-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.masterbrandcabinets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/blog-image-flatten-2048x1153.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><figcaption><em>Ranked In Order : Designer Picks for Storage Must Haves<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">A recent poll conducted by MasterBrand shows that 80% of kitchen designers recommend these seven storage features for their functionality:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1 &#8211; Trash Bin Pullouts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2 &#8211; Pantry Cabinet with Roll Trays<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3 &#8211; Cookie Sheet \/ Tray Divider<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4 &#8211; Roll Trays<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5 &#8211; Corner Revolving \/ Swing Outs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6 &#8211; Deep Drawers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>7 &#8211; Floating Shelves<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">These storage solutions will help create zones in your kitchen to keep you organized along the way.
