Redesigning a kitchen is one of the best investments a homeowner can make and some tips could really make the difference, it was suggested this week. Choosing granite counters with thinner widths could look good, said DreamMaker Bath Kitchen. Many people like granite as it looks sleek and stylish next to any type of sink or washing area. Cabinets are also worth giving a makeover, whether they are refaced or completely replaced, depending on the budget. And stainless steel appliances can still perform even if they are low-cost models, the company said. Other recommendations for kitchen design included looking for energy-efficient products and using wood laminate flooring, which can be easier to clean than other surfaces. For those interested in sinks and related kitchen gadgets with potential energy-efficiency, the In-Sink-Erator could be an ideal choice. It was recently the subject of a Wall Street Journal article, in which In-Sink-Erators director of European Operations Joe Ferrara said waste disposals systems can have positive environmental effects.
