Revamp Your Kitchen: Unleash the Culinary Magic

October 03, 2021

Few endeavors in the realm of home transformations can rival the sheer delight of embarking on a kitchen makeover. Kitchens have effortlessly usurped the living room’s age-old throne as the epicenter of familial life. This sacred space isn’t just where we cook; it’s a hub of mirth, a hallowed ground for culinary experiments, a haven for homework, and a congregation point for friends and family. So, if you’re keen on transforming your kitchen into a culinary wonderland, journey with us through a tapestry of do’s and don’ts.

Kitchen Symphony: A Choreography of Culinary Creativity

Don’t Dance Away from Workflow Harmony

Picture this: a kitchen triangle where your stove, fridge, and sink harmoniously coexist within a triangular embrace, where the perimeter is a mere 26 feet. This is the revered gold standard in kitchen choreography. However, the winds of change have swayed the kitchenscape, and open, spacious kitchens have emerged as the new norm. But, a word of caution—don’t lose sight of your kitchen’s future. Place upper storage units adjacent to the dishwasher for seamless post-wash transitions of cutlery and glasses. Ensure ample counter space next to the cooktop for the effortless ballet of ingredients from chopping board to sauté pan.

Embrace Cabinet Customization

Beyond the aesthetics of cabinet doors and finishes lies a world of hidden wonders. Delve into the heart of your cabinets’ inner workings. Would you fancy roll-out drawers in your pantry, a dual recycling and trash bin, or pull-down shelves for the celestial accessibility of your wall cabinets? Imagine the possibilities, all within reach, with semi to fully custom cabinet craftsmanship.

Consider an Overhang

Even if your kitchen only beckons a petite island, entertain the notion of a modest overhang, a mere 10″ to 12″, to grace it with elegance. This extra ledge can metamorphose into a charming breakfast bar for bustling mornings or a cozy nook for guests to congregate while your culinary symphony unfurls, all without demanding an inch more of space.

Don’t Neglect the Companions of the Kitchen

Glossy cabinets and polished metals may exude suavity, but if you share your culinary realm with little ones, consider a matte or textured cabinet finish. Opt for hardware and appliances adorned with smudge-resistant coatings. Textured cabinets and a mischievous feline? That, perhaps, calls for a second thought.

Hire a Professional Kitchen Designer

While the universe of kitchen drawings may be accessible at the local home improvement emporium, the expertise of a seasoned interior designer, attuned to your essence and needs, is akin to unearthing hidden treasure. At Chi Renovation and Design, our designers breathe life into your vision, sparing no detail. Embark on this transformative odyssey with us, and let the magic unfold. Call today for your complimentary in-home or virtual consultation, and let the symphony of your kitchen come to life!

What is especially amazing about ChiRen and our project manager, Lior, was the prompt attention to resolving issues. The workers and project manager were clean, considerate AND attentive to issues. We appreciated the supply vendors/distributors that Chi Ren uses and the lower prices that they are able to pass onto the client. This helps give you what you want at a better cost than other builders might offer. I plan on using Chi Ren again.

Chi Renovation and Design did an outstanding job on my bathroom remodel. They had great suggestions on what I could do to achieve what I was looking for. My only request was to get the job done on time. Chi Renovation and Design came through on this wonderfully. The crew finished the job ahead of schedule. Chi Renovation and Design was not the cheapest quote I received but I can’t imagine another company providing better service and results. I would recommend Chi Renovation and Design.

We can't say enough about the excellent service and quality that Chi-Renovation provided. Their team is wonderful and took care of everything from design, material order, to the remodeling work. We worked with one designer, Mark, and three project managers, Tom, Ron and Eylon. They are very knowledgeable, professional and super responsive. Even their sub-contractors did great jobs! We are very satisfied with the final results!

I recently used Chi Renovation and Design, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. They did a fantastic job. The process was relatively painless from start to finish. It was incredibly easy to work with both my Designer and Project Manager – they were both responsive and thorough. The whole team was very professional and respectful of my home. I would highly recommend Chi Renovation and Design to anyone thinking of a home renovation project.

Chi Renovation and Design remodeled two bathrooms in our Chicago home. It was an excellent experience. Their professional staff helped us visualize the bathrooms that we wanted and transformed the project into more than just updating old and outdated bathrooms to completely customizing everything. They were also extremely clean during the entire process-cleaning up after every day. I would recommend Chi-Renovation.

We were pleased with the work of Chi Renovation and Design. Lior was prompt when providing an initial quote, which was detailed and clearly presented. The result of the reconstruction looks great! Lior and his team even finished the job in less time than expected and cleaned up after the project's conclusion. We found the total cost for the services provided to be reasonable and would highly recommend Chi Renovation and Design.
