Kitchen remodeling, like any home remodeling project, requires careful planning, the first step of which should be determining the design and the style of the space to be remodeled.

If you are currently in that phase and you have already browsed images of great-looking kitchens online as well as printed design magazines, but you still feel overwhelmed, here are some tips to help you:

• Determine your priorities – think about how and how much you use your kitchen. The types of dishes that you prepare, the amount of cooking that you do, the number of the people who use the kitchen, your preferences in terms of using utensils and appliances will all need to be taken into account;
• Think about the layout as it is – your current kitchen layout surely has features that you can keep and use in your new layout as well. Look for quality Denver cabinets with unique features like slide out drawers or spice racks. Think about the location of the faucets and of the power outlets – keeping those components will make remodeling your kitchen easier;
• Choose the right color scheme – contrasting colors work great in kitchens. Pick one or more neutral, toned-down hues for the walls and the floor and make the space livelier and more playful with accents in vivid colors.
