Kitchen Re-modelling? Some suggestions to make it a comfortable, efficient & fun place as it is one of the most-used areas of the home.

1. There should be separate receptacles for garbage, cans and bottles, and paper and cardboard. Ideally, these containers should be pullout spaces within the  design of the cabinets.
The easiest way to incorporate this green idea is to retrofit the bins into existing kitchen cabinets. These pullout attachments are available at do-it-yourself home-improvement stores.

2. Include deep cabinet drawers or a pullout shelf for items such as pots and pans and other small appliances. Having the small appliances hidden away helps keep the kitchen neat and organized. And it is easier to get to these items with pullout shelves instead of having to dig for them or having to pull them out from standard cupboards or shelves.

3. Sometimes, replacing the hardware on cabinets can give a new look with little expense. The next step up would be replacing the cabinet doors and drawer fronts. Here again, you might be able to do this yourself, but if you can’t, the cost is still low because you aren’t replacing the entire cabinets, only the facades.

Hiring a professional kitchen designer to work with is your best bet or consult Johnson Kitchens.. www.hrjohnsonindia.com
