How to Make Your Kitchen Functional

McCalls Carpet One

Kitchens, no matter how large your home, can become the hub for entertaining. Guests like to spend time around an island, as its a great space to prep food as well as serve it. A functional kitchen requires excellent storage and great surface space. McCalls Carpet One tells us how to make your kitchen functional.

Hide Appliances

Tucking away those unsightly countertop appliances is key to having your kitchen look like a show home. Try creating an appliance garage or a utility pantry that tucks everything behind a pair of doors. If your budget permits, go for paneled appliances, these will create a seamless look and you’ll have less stainless steel to clean! When it comes to countertops, a mix of natural stone and man-made quartz will help you keep the budget down. A beautiful slab on the island can make a beautiful statement. On the perimeter of your kitchen, go for a complimentary product that costs less and is much more durable.

Kitchen Hardware

Kitchen hardware are the accessorizing jewels to your cabinetry, it plays an important part in creating a unique character! Embrace the beauty of hardware, mixing and matching creates interest and breaks up the monotony, when done carefully combining 3- 4 different hardware is a sure way to add just the right oomph to your cabinetry.

Lighting 

Lighting in a kitchen is the finishing touch that will add drama to your space, from multiple pendants to one dramatic fixture over the island, it’s key to creating that lasting impression.
