Homeowners contemplating undertaking a kitchen remodelling have been urged to think about how they can best utilise the space available to them.Writing for the Detroit News, Jeanine Matlow, of Smart Solutions, has reminded people that it is important to include an efficient work triangle in any plans.She explains that it is important not to have too much distance between the key areas in a room - namely between the stove, kitchen sink and refrigerator.Indeed, Ms Matlow recommends that the ideal minimum distance between the locations should be around 12 feet, while the maximum distance should be no greater than 26 feet.Meanwhile, a recent article for Builder Magazine claimed that homeowners are increasingly seeking to experiment in their kitchen designs.The publication noted that people are increasingly ditching the highly popular granite work surfaces in order to test out other materials, boston.com reported.Nor do your cabinets all have to match, with homeowners looking to shake things up here as well, with different wood stains or even a mix of wood and painted surfaces, Builder predicts, said the site.
