#1 Be careful with the countertop
This is one of the biggest concerns of designers, and for normal people, it ends up being not as important. Countertops are extremely important as they need to be heavy-duty and aesthetic as well. A lot of new homeowners are dreaming of that huge marble countertop. And while it is a beautiful material and addition, marble is also one of the most delicate materials you can add to your kitchen. It also scratches easily and is a grime magnet.
If you don’t mind the look of natural stones that have marks from dinner parties or when you accidentally drop something on them, go right ahead. But otherwise, look into alternative materials and leave the marble aside. You can definitely find something more durable that will imitate marble and will be even better!
#2 Don’t ruin your kitchen with the wrong accessories
Most people think that choosing the accessories for the kitchen is the last step in designing the whole room; however, it shouldn’t be the last on your list of priorities. It ends up being a second thought when most of the budget has already been spent on other things, and the simple thought of making yet another design decision is enough to leave some nauseated. This leads to people making mistakes and choosing the worst accessories for their cabinetry.
Avoid such a situation by setting aside a part of your budget for this and keeping it in mind as you design your kitchen. Think of the accessories as your chance to add in some more textures or colors as the final touch, the whole room needs to be perfect! Just don’t leave them as an afterthought, or you will regret it.
