Ensuring that a kitchen is correctly laid out is the most important part of a renovation, it has been claimed. Interiors expert Jack Ifrah noted that every homeowner has different tastes and may use their kitchen for a range of purposes, the Montreal Gazette reports. According to Mr Ifrah, budding chefs need to have a lot more space than other homeowners, so installing an island with a kitchen sink for preparation purposes is one idea. I like to use the island, the biggest surface, to prepare food, he said.Respecting the work triangle is also advisable, the specialist claimed, so thought should go into the placement of the kitchen sink, cooker and refrigerator before a home improvement task. Individuals were also told to consider their lighting options, as this is what creates ambience in the kitchen. Last month, the Seattle Times recommended a custom look for those hoping to upgrade their kitchen, rather than just opting for a pre-packaged choice.
