In seeking ideas on how to design a new kitchen, it may be ideal to ascertain what is not right with the existing one. If the motivation is driven by a need to keep up with the Joneses or whatever name of that pesky neighbor, relative or friend, one's heart may not be in the right place. One may end up with a white elephant in a bid to outdo the other. Without a doubt, the redesigned premise may become a thorn in one's flesh and result in low utilization. Coupled with a hefty bill to pay, who needs more bane in one's life?
Going through a seven-year itch for a complete kitchen makeover, it may be worth one's while to step back and look at the big picture. In other words, will this solve one's kitchen woes? In the event the house is blessed with a matchbox of a cooking compartment, there may be limited options available to rework the place. Perhaps the effort to design a new kitchen may best be focused on re-arranging the existing for better reach and use. Often times, a simple change such as facing position of the refrigerator solves many a bruising incident with swinging open and shut of the door.
Understandably, many houses are not owner-occupied. Tenants and renters are obviously less inclined to making any changes to their temporary residences as investments carried out may be lost when they move. Rental agreements also place restrictions on modifications done to the premises as landlords do not look too kindly upon kitchen makeovers without their prior approval. Short of being stuck between a rock and a hard place, the tenant is forced to live with a kitchen misery. A reasonable landlord may be willing to re-design a new kitchen in hopes of increasing rental value. The rule of thumb is generally sensible spending for relatively sturdy structures to withstand mannerisms of various tenants.
